Mikaela Spence

My communication style

I create a calm space where we focus on your concerns and how your medications are working. I start doses low and adjust carefully, aiming for the least amount needed to help you feel comfortable. I won't talk down to you; I listen and support you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started this work because of my own struggles with anxiety and depression. I wanted to understand myself better and help others facing similar challenges. I know what it's like to be on both sides of treatment, and I use that to support you with understanding.

My goals for you

I follow your lead in setting goals. Where do you need the most help in your life, and how can I support you in getting there?

Our first session

I'll introduce myself and ask why you're seeking medication treatment now. We'll review your psychiatric, family, medical, and social history. Together, we'll discuss your goals and explore treatment options that might work for you.
