Getting to know Jennifer Spencer

Hi there, I'm Jennifer! My name is Jennifer Spencer, MSW, LICSW, LCSW, licensed in Washington and Colorado. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from the University of Washington and bring fifteen years of professional experience. The modalities I prefer are client-centered, strengths-based, psychoanalytic, talk therapy, attachment-based, and mindfulness skills. My experience is primarily with adults. My focus populations include women’s issues, queer issues, seniors with health conditions, veterans, PTSD, men’s issues, domestic violence in both hetero and same-sex relationships, trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, suicidal ideation, personality disorders, codependency, and narcissistic tendencies. I believe healthy coping skills are the path to self-love. I hope to be part of your journey to a more fulfilling emotional life. My approach Psychoanalytic, client-centered, strengths-based, humanistic, relationship-based, talk therapy, DBT, mindfulness, and cognitive processing. My focus Grief and loss, death and dying, domestic violence (same-sex and hetero), queer issues (gender identity and sexuality acceptance), women’s issues, senior issues, veterans, PTSD, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, suicidal ideation, complicated family dynamics, emotional abuse, narcissistic tendencies, men’s issues, HIV/AIDS, racial identity issues, emotional stress, couples issues, and relationships. My communication style I aim to create an emotional space where you can share your experiences, thoughts, and feelings. Through this, I seek to understand you and how you process life events, helping me determine which therapeutic modality is most helpful. I also “check in” emotionally to see how therapy feels to you. I strive to build a working relationship that helps you work through painful experiences to reach relief.
