Spencer is fantastic. He’s ready to listen, and really listen. He doesn’t just go through the motions. He has a gift for understanding what tools are useful to you quickly and spends time developing them from an early stage. He’s really a fantastic therapist and I would highly recommend him to anyone either going through therapy the first time or the 30th. I’ve had A LOT of therapists, and it is rare to find one as engaging and that listens and communicates as well as Spencer.
