I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist , with a focus on assisting survivors of childhood trauma. I received my Masters in Counseling Phycology from Holy Names University in Oakland, Ca and have been practicing for four years. With a depth-centered, decolonized approach, I integrate a somatic healing, and nature-based practices to support deep emotional transformation. I create a safe, empowering space for clients to reconnect with their strength, break generational cycles, and cultivate lasting well-being.
During our first session will focus on building rapport, exploring personal history, and identifying therapeutic goals
As a provider, my greatest strengths lie in creating an affirming and culturally responsive healing space for individuals. I integrate a decolonized approach to therapy, recognizing the impact of historical and generational trauma while honoring ancestral wisdom in the healing process.
I specialize in supporting adults navigating the lasting effects of childhood trauma, particularly survivors of sexual abuse. I work with individuals facing life transitions and challenges, and relational difficulties, offering a client-centered approach.
This approach emphasizes understanding a client's cultural background—recognizing that cultural values, traditions, and social contexts significantly influence their personal and relational experiences. In practice, Spicers’ experience means tailoring interventions to honor each client's unique cultural identity, ensuring that therapy respects and addresses their specific cultural challenges and strengths.
Humanistic therapy focuses on self-actualization, personal growth, and the belief that individuals have the innate capacity for healing. In my practice, this aligns with my approach by emphasizing empowerment, self-awareness, and emotional healing. I integrate humanistic principles by creating a safe, client-centered space where individuals explore their emotions without judgment.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has helped shape my approach to helping clients by emphasizing the importance of identifying and reshaping negative thought patterns. In my work, I have observed that by challenging and reframing these thoughts, individuals could achieve more balanced emotional responses and healthier behaviors.
