Michelle L. Spomer

About Us

I assist clients who are wanting to improve their lives in significant ways. While I specialize in treating eating disorders, anxiety and depression, most clients also come to me with related issues of trauma, self-confidence, struggles with change/transition, work, family relationships and other stressors. I see therapy as a collaborative process taking place in the context of an empathic relationship where support and appropriate challenge are offered. I encourage individuals to learn about themselves, understand the meaning behind symptoms and develop skills that enable them to take positive action toward well-being. , My approach to therapy is integrative, combining CBT, Psychodynamic and Relational models, along with skills drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mind/Body mindfulness. I take into account how our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and experiences with others--present and past--impact our current functioning on a mind and body level. , " Dr. Spomer has worked extensively with adults, older adolescents/families in a variety of settings.
