    About the Owner

    Allison Spencer, LCSW

    With over 20 years of mental health counseling experience, working with children, teenagers and adults, in various settings, I decided to start a group practice in the summer of 2021.  We continue to grow as being one of the leading mental health outpatient counseling practices in the valley.  I ensure that all of my counselors on my team feel as though they are completely supported and equipped with the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to provide a high level of care to all clients we serve.  The practice is held to a high standard both professionally and ethically.  We would gladly welcome you to begin with us. I hold a Bachelor's in Psychology from Purdue University and a Master's in Social Work from Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri.  I am a Clinical Supervisor through the AZBBHE.
