“Unfortunately, most kids need therapy these days, but they DON’T need your typical therapist. They need someone that is creative and meets them where they are. Rather than meeting my teenage son in a sterile therapy office, Spencer meets him on the basketball court where my teen will talk forever, and the best part is he can’t wait to go back! Clever homework questions easily open the door for those difficult topics. Brilliant!”

“Spencer is a miracle worker. He is the only person who was able to help my son effectively work through issues.  Spencer is a great role model, he is fun yet professional, and works well with both kids and parents.”

“Spencer always did a great job making me feel comfortable to speak honestly. I always knew he was really hearing what I was saying, and he offered good relevant advice.”

“Spencer's grounded ease and warmth simplified the process of connecting with my kids. They trust they have an open and nonjudgmental ear to listen to any concerns.  Spencer's guidance has helped them navigate their family transition to two households from one, and they look forward to their sessions every week.” 

“During my therapy sessions with Spencer I have had a really good time. He has helped me through hard times that I didn't think I needed someone to help me get through. I'm able to talk to him about whatever I want really and it's pretty fun to have someone to do that with. I highly recommend people have him as their therapist because not only does he help you, but he makes it fun at the same time.”

“Spencer is a wonderful child therapist and has been so helpful for my son.  My son started seeing him during the pandemic.  My son has really benefited from having Spencer to talk to during this time.”

"My 9-year-old and 7-year-old boys have been in therapy with Spencer for over a year; they have developed a fun, kind and trusting relationship with Spencer; they are always excited to go to therapy and look forward to their next session. Spencer has helped my boys learn to open up and talk openly about issues happening in and out of school, and they are also doing much better dealing with strong emotions. As a mom, I feel at peace knowing that my boys have a safe space to share their feelings and anything that might be going on in their lives. I am very grateful for having Spencer’s support during a very difficult time.”

“Spencer has been instrumental in guiding Jackson and providing him with tools to navigate through mental health, depression, body image and self-confidence issues that became more heightened during Covid.”

“Spencer’s therapy practice entered our family life in perfect timing. He was an indelible resource not only to our son, but to my husband and me as well. To know that we were not alone in our parenting journey gave us peace of mind, and the ability to remain present as the parents we wanted most to be.”

“Weekly visits with Spencer are a safe haven for my son.  He knows there is never any judgement and that we are all on his team to help him talk through his big emotions and learn the tools on how to self-regulate. Connecting with my son through things he enjoys, like playing chess or shooting hoops outside, allows my son to go at a pace that is comfortable to him.  Navigating life as a 12-year old boy isn't easy, so we're very grateful to Spencer and SBCFT.”
