Makena SpencerMarriage & Family Therapist Associate, AMFT

About

I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space for teens, adults, and couples navigating life’s challenges, from anxiety and depression to recovery and major life transitions. Using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and relational approaches, I help clients explore their stories, uncover patterns, and develop tools to feel more grounded, empowered, and resilient. Therapy with me is both insightful and practical—focusing on growth you can feel in your everyday life. I support adolescents, adults, and couples navigating challenges such as gang exposure, immigration stress, neurodiversity, and recovery. I help couples strengthen communication, resolve conflicts, and deepen connection, guiding clients toward meaningful, value-driven change. I’m passionate about meeting clients where they are and honoring their experiences.
