Getting to know Miok Spencer

Hi there, I'm Miok! My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to support your healing, growth, and well-being. I specialize in helping clients navigate relationship challenges, manage anxiety, stress, and life transitions such as becoming a parent, career changes, grief, and loss. I also focus on personal development, including building self-esteem, enhancing coping skills, and achieving meaningful goals. I hold a Master’s in Psychology from California Lutheran University, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to support my clients effectively. My approach I frequently utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for their proven effectiveness. Through DBT, I help clients develop practical coping skills to manage intense emotions and life’s difficulties. With IFS, we explore different parts of a client’s inner self that may be in conflict, fostering self-awareness and emotional integration. Using EFT, we focus on how attachment styles influence relationships, empowering clients to build healthier connections. My approach is integrative and tailored to each client’s unique needs, promoting growth, healing, and positive change. My focus I enjoy working with individuals and couples, especially young adults navigating life transitions, managing anxiety, and pursuing personal growth. I also help clients address marital challenges, cope with work-related stress, and navigate major life stages like empty nesting and midlife transitions. My goal is to create a supportive, compassionate space where clients can explore concerns, build resilience, and achieve meaningful, lasting growth. My communication style I cultivate a calm, gentle, and welcoming environment where clients feel safe and supported. My non-judgmental approach encourages clients to express themselves freely, explore emotions, and work toward their goals.
