Kari Spears

I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker with a background in medical social work, higher education, and outpatient therapy. I have worked in a variety of mental health settings, as far back as 2006, as a technician to case manager and now as a master's level practitioner. My therapeutic philosophy involves a mix of compassion and assertiveness. I want to help you process and actively work toward your goals. I utilize a variety of therapeutic frameworks with my primary being CBT. I am not afraid to have open and difficult conversations that may surround challenging relationships, trauma, loss, reflection on sense of self, personal growth and/or any focus area that brings you to therapy.
