Getting to know Jennifer Spencer

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 20 years in the helping profession, and I hope to be a healing presence on your emotional journey. The hallmark of my practice is compassion: creating a safe space where you can share openly and be truly heard. I work with teens, young and older adults, couples, and families. I am most experienced in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, borderline and other personality disorders, attachment issues, grief and loss, and life transitions. I also support clients navigating LGBTQ+ and identity concerns, abuse in both heterosexual and same-sex relationships, substance use, intergenerational trauma, caregiver burnout, and the experiences of veterans and military personnel. I tailor my approach to each person, drawing on psychodynamic, person-centered, humanistic, DBT, and trauma-focused therapies. In our first sessions we will get to know each other, talk about what brings you to therapy, and clarify what you hope to change. I believe psychological insight, honest vulnerability, and emotional support are the catalysts for lasting change. Sessions are available in person in Seattle and by secure telehealth throughout Washington.
