I am Dr. Kathryn Spencer, PMHNP-BC. I am a graduate of Fairfield University Doctorate of Nursing Practice program. I graduated with the highest honor the University offered. My clinical experience is deep and diverse. My focus is Adult Women's Mental Health taking a MindBody.BodyMind approach that embraces all that contributes to Mental Health and Wellbeing. Because I listen, you will be heard. The goal is always an accurate diagnosis and efficacious treatment. I offer both psychotherapy and medication management.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first visit will consist of a thorough psychiatric evaluation, followed by a collaborative discussion of the findings.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am a thoughtful and considerate prescriber. A correct diagnosis leads to receiving efficacious treatment and offers the fastest path to restoration of mental wellness. Controlled substances are not needed if a correct diagnosis and treatment have been established. Psychotherapy is never a "one size fits all" approach. My approach to psychotherapy is to utilize the best components of different treatment modalities to mold a therapeutic approach that works for you.

Mind-body approach

Mindbody.BodyMind. The path to mental wellness can be found most quickly through utilizing a combined "top down" and "bottom up" approach. There is no "one size fits all" therapy modality. Utilizing the best components of various types of psychotherapy, ie, EMDR, attachment-based, coherence, positive psychology, biofeedback, somatic-based, and psychoeducation, leads to rapid skills acquisition while illuminating understanding.
