Getting to know Kathleen Spencer

Hi there, I'm Kathleen! My name is Kathy Spencer, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in California. I earned my Master's in Counseling from Grand Canyon University. I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives, and I am here to help them navigate their current concerns while guiding them to rediscover their own internal strengths and resilience. My approach Working together, we can explore which therapeutic modality fits your needs. Some modalities I work from include Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. My focus I work with individuals facing a variety of concerns such as anxiety, panic disorder, depression, and major life changes. I specialize in supporting individuals struggling with Substance Use Disorder. My communication style I am truly grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside my clients on their journey to healing. I provide a safe, empathetic space where you can be yourself-free of judgment and comfortable enough to be open and honest. My journey to mental healthcare Watching my own family members struggle with addiction was a driving factor in my path to becoming a Certified Substance Use Counselor and later a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I have spent the last 14 years working with individuals experiencing both mental health concerns and substance use dependence. My goals for you We will work together to develop therapeutic goals that matter to you. We will track your weekly progress and make adjustments as needed. Since life does not stand still, sometimes your priorities may change suddenly-in which case, we can reevaluate and create new goals if needed. My first session with you During our first session, I will be actively listening to you, focusing on getting to know you and understanding what you have been experiencing that brings you to therapy.
