About
Jean Spendlove
Counseling Intern
I offer a compassionate, empathetic approach to help adults and adolescents from all backgrounds navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your unique experiences, work toward healing, and foster personal growth. I will walk alongside you as you navigate your path toward greater well-being.
My Approach
While grounded in the humanistic tradition, I use an integrated approach that draws from person-centered, constructivist, feminist, cognitive-behavioral, emotion-focused, and psychodynamic therapies. Together, we will explore how your past experiences shape current struggles and how your present thoughts and feelings influence your behaviors and beliefs.
Focus Areas
• Anxiety and Stress
• Relationship and Attachment Issues
• Identity and Cultural Stress
• Trauma and Healing
• Life Transitions and Personal Growth
• Support for Adolescents & Young Adults
• Affirming care for individuals of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and cultural backgrounds
Why Work with Me
Though I am new to professional counseling, I bring over 20 years of experience working in healthcare as a registered nurse and business professional. Throughout my career, my strength has always been understanding others’ perspectives and helping find solutions to challenging problems. Now, as I transition into the counseling field, I am honored to offer my skills, empathy, and knowledge to support you on your journey
