I have done both individual and family counseling with Spomenka. I appreciate her direct no nonsense approach and giving candid and honest advice when sugarcoating will not help. My decade of issues won't get solved overnight, even weeks, or months. However, her counseling has helped me at least point to the right direction and steer towards the right course of action.

Spomenka has been my therapist for 1.5 years, and in that time she has helped me develop a whole new tool box for how I communicate in my relationships at home and at work, and in how I recognize and process what I'm feeling. One thing I really appreciate is how tactical and tangible the skills and tools are. Spomenka has a way of breaking down what feels complex or intangible into an action plan. Also in the time I've been seeing Spomenka, my marriage has transformed!

I’ve been a client of Spomenka for almost two years. She has taught me skills no other therapist has mentioned to me before. She does more than listen, she provides the necessary tools to use through your life. She is the first therapist I have had that does this extensively, so that you can make changes for a better life. It has been an invaluable experience, where you feel an actual progression in your way of thinking and handling life’s situations. Her therapy style is most effective.

I really have enjoyed my time with Spomenka. While helping me look at some truths, she also teaches me to be kind to myself. She doesn't expect me to be perfect, is understanding of my issues and strengths. The EMDR therapy is a miracle, don't know how it works... but it's amazing.

Spomenka has taught me DBT skills in such a way that I have been able to easily adapt them into my every day life. Examples of the above statement include deep breathing skills right before a difficult meeting, creating a "safe place" picture in my mind when I am feeling fearful, keeping a mental list of my successes when I am feeling like a failure. Spomenka has never given up on me. She calmly reminds me of what my goals are and we keep working on my perspective of my daily life.
