Getting to know Kimberly Spencer
Do you feel like you've lost the version of yourself that used to trust your own instincts? Are you exhausted from walking on eggshells?"
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Certified Alcohol and Other Drug Counselor (CADC) specializing in Trauma and PTSD, Narcissistic Abuse Recovery, and High-Conflict Relationships. With over 20 years of experience, I help adults navigate the 'invisible' wounds of emotional neglect and toxic dynamics-whether the source is a partner, parent, or friend. Using a blend of Adlerian insight and CBT tools, I specialize in helping you exit 'survival mode' and reclaim your reality.
My background in treating complex trauma, chronic mental health, and co-occurring substance use allows me to see the full picture of your experience. By exploring the early patterns and survival scripts that may keep you feeling 'stuck,' I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to deconstruct gaslighting, process the unique grief of these relationships, and build unshakeable boundaries.
I am currently deepening my expertise with a specialized certification in Narcissistic Abuse Recovery to ensure you have the most effective, trauma-informed tools available to rebuild a life that is entirely yours.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Our thoughts heavily influence our waking life and choices. During our first session we will explore why you have decided to seek counseling and begin to take a look at your individual perception of the world around you. As we progress we will explore the root causes of affliction and strategies for coping and overcoming them.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
