Hello, and congratulations on taking the first step in your healing journey! My name is Sophie Spencer (she/her), and I am a Licensed Associate Counselor at Just Be Counseling Services. I was born and raised in Phoenix, AZ. I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology and Master’s in Counseling from Arizona State University. I work well with clients navigating relationship struggles, trauma, anxiety, or depression. Many of the people I see describe themselves as self-aware. Maybe it’s easy for you to notice your patterns, but you can’t quite seem to interrupt and change these cycles. If this sounds familiar, I can help you build the skills, new perspectives, and confidence to start making real and lasting changes. I particularly enjoy helping clients get to know the different parts of themselves. Maybe you have noticed a critical voice, an angry part, or an anxious side of yourself that shows up often. Together, we’ll explore these parts with curiosity and compassion so you can feel less at war with yourself. In our sessions, we will focus on building safety, increasing mindfulness, and learning skills you can use in daily life. I believe therapy can be both meaningful and lighthearted, so I often bring humor into sessions when it feels helpful. As a therapist, I like to invite all of you into the room. I enjoy weaving in your personal interests, like favorite music or spirituality, into our work together. I have experience working with LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, and BIPOC populations. In therapy, I believe in naming and addressing the systemic issues that are affecting your health and well-being.
