Hope Spencer, LPC

Hope Spencer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings both professional training and personal dedication to her therapeutic work. With 22 years of experience, she emphasizes the importance of establishing a strong rapport as the first step toward meaningful progress in therapy. Once a solid connection is in place, she tailors interventions to the needs of each person, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy, and combining these approaches when an integrated plan is most helpful.

Hope is known for being a careful listener who approaches clients with empathy, sensitivity, and energy. In addition to meeting the formal requirements and supervised hours for licensure, she draws on a broad bank of life experience and practical wisdom when supporting others. She also values warmth and a light touch, and believes that a sense of humor can be a useful part of the healing process.

Hope has been committed to this work for most of her life, tracing her interest in helping others back to her teenage years. That long-standing commitment informs the steady, client-focused style she brings to issues such as stress, anxiety, family and relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, mood disorders, and many other areas of emotional and relational health.
