Counseling for your whole vibrant self. Located in downtown Salem, Oregon.
“Sometimes it feels like everyone else got the memo on how to be a person, but I missed out.”
Does that sound familiar?
Other people seem to know how to give themselves grace, but you can’t escape your own rigid expectations for yourself. Other people speak up for themselves, but when you try, there’s a lump in your throat. They seem to be on their own team, but you only know how to treat yourself with scorn and derision.
Burnt-out “gifted kid”, nervous cosplayer, or outsider of any other stripe—whatever your story is, you feel stuck in the dark, trapped by shame and self-criticism.
I see you, and I want to help.
Therapy for real people, by a real person.
Hi. I’m Spencer. I’m a therapist in Salem, Oregon. Here at Prism Counseling, I provide compassionate one-on-one counseling for people who want to step out of the shadow of shame and self-hatred.
In our friendly, conversational sessions, you’ll learn to treat your whole self with the love you deserve—while also courageously striving for a purposeful life.
