Colette Spaulding , LMSW

Colette Spaulding welcomes people who find it difficult to ask for help and offers steady support through life’s challenges. She approaches each person with curiosity and compassion, asking not “What is wrong with you?” but “What has happened to you?” This stance creates a nonjudgmental space where clients can tell their stories, explore patterns, and build on strengths to increase self-awareness and improve relationships.

With 15 years of experience in the mental health field and the credential LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker, she combines practical strategies with empathic listening. Colette helps clients learn tools to manage anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, and the effects of trauma and abuse, and she supports people navigating grief, career shifts, parenting challenges, and relationship difficulties. She values humor as part of the healing process and aims to bring both compassion and flexibility to therapy.

Colette is trained in evidence-based methods including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She has experience working with survivors of abuse and domestic violence and with individuals facing mood disorders, OCD, co-occurring conditions, and anger-related concerns. Viewing each client as a whole person, she partners with them to match interventions to their particular needs and goals, offering guidance grounded in experience and a genuine desire to help.
