Rasheedah Thompson
About Rasheedah
Supervised by Keyonne Spencer, LPC-S
I am currently a graduate student at Capella University in their Master of Science Marriage and Family Therapy program and Applied Behavioral Analysis Certificate program. I obtained my Bachelor's of Science in Psychology in 2020, and I'm an inducted member of The National Society of Leadership and Success. I have experience working with adults and adolescents that present co-occurring conditions along with other presented mental illnesses, and children and adolescent who are on the Autistic Spectrum Disorder. On my down time I enjoy various forms of Art, and spending time with loved ones.
I believe that the ideal therapeutic relationship is a partnership, that consists of healing old wounds, and learning new ways to handle trauma, cope, and adjust to new situations.
I utilize collaborative language systems, and experiential approaches along with others that will be beneficial to the Therapeutic relationship to optimize therapy outcomes for each individual client.
My approach is to truly come from a loving place, where judgement is left at the door before you enter a session, where you can lay your problems all on the table and leave a session with the weight of the world no longer on your shoulders.
I'm here to help you give yourself some grace.

About Dionte
I am a graduate student at Capella University pursuing a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy and currently certified in Contemporary Theory in Couple and Family Systems. Through my academic roadmap, I have obtained therapeutic experience that has proven to be significantly valuable in my overall development as a future clinician.
I primarily utilize emotionally focused therapy models in my therapeutic approach; however, I leverage other effective therapy models that are beneficial to supporting the best possible outcome within the therapeutic relationship. Understanding and identifying the true need of my clients are the centerpiece of the therapeutic approach. My goal as a therapist it to partner with and fully understand my client in addition to growing with my client through their personalized experience in therapy.
My approach is to provide a safe space emotionally for each client where vulnerability is normalized, and judgment is non-existent. Together we will establish awareness, accountability, and a true path forward that will create positive momentum. My goal is to incite the confidence within clients to face any emotional or mental challenges within the framework of everyday life.
Grace is always free, and we all need it at some point in life!

Ronelle Hoff
About Ronelle
Hi there! My name is Ronelle and I am currently a graduate student at St. Thomas University pursuing a Master of Education in Counseling. Throughout my journey, I have had the opportunity to help assist adolescents and adults with a wide range of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and daily life stress, in balancing and enhancing their quality of life using various therapeutic treatments.
The approach that I utilize most with clients is Solution-focused brief therapy. With this approach, we will discuss your problems and work towards constructing practical and sustaining solutions that you can implement leading to a positive therapeutic outcome. On the other hand, I utilize other therapeutic approaches that work best with my client's needs and help them reach their therapeutic goals.
I realize that one of the roadblocks that prevent many people from seeking therapy is the fear of sharing vulnerable information with someone they are not comfortable with. My goal as a therapist is to build a trusting relationship with my client and provide a safe and confidential place to explore, process, and transcend their emotions and issues. Throughout each session, it is with high hopes that my clients feel free to be their most authentic selves and share their truths, without judgment.
Working with me, you can guarantee to leave your sessions feeling refreshed, hopeful, and encouraged about your challenges. Are you ready for the journey? If so, I invite you to schedule an appointment with me! I am excited for you!

He earned his Master of Education in Family and Couples Counseling from Lamar University and is passionate about helping both clients and developing clinicians discover their authentic voice and purpose.

His therapeutic approach is rooted in Narrative Therapy and informed by existential philosophy. Rather than viewing people as defined by their problems, Dru helps clients examine the dominant narratives that have shaped their identities and explore alternative stories that reflect resilience, growth, and possibility. Through thoughtful collaboration, he works to understand each client's unique perspective while examining the relational, cultural, and societal influences that impact emotional well-being.
As a Spencer Facilitator, Dru also plays an integral role in mentoring Spencer Fellows through The Spencer Fellowship™, helping cultivate the next generation of compassionate, ethical, and clinically skilled mental health professionals.

Marti Sylvan
(LPC Associate)
About Marti
LPC Associate
Hello, I'm Marti Sylvan, LPC Associate, and I believe counseling can provide a meaningful space for healing, self-discovery, and lasting personal growth.
I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Houston Christian University and my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Trevecca Nazarene University. My journey in the helping profession began through nonprofit work in inner-city San Francisco, where I supported women and children navigating a variety of life challenges. Those experiences helped shape my commitment to meeting people with compassion, curiosity, and respect for the unique experiences they bring into the counseling room.
My goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and collaborative therapeutic environment where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and experiences without judgment. I enjoy supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, interpersonal and relationship concerns, life transitions, trauma, emotional distress, and the everyday challenges that can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from ourselves.
My approach to counseling is integrative and tailored to the needs of each client. I draw from evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic approaches, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. Rather than believing that one approach fits everyone, I work collaboratively with clients to identify strategies that align with their individual needs, experiences, strengths, and goals.
I believe wholeheartedly in the transformative power of counseling. Therapy is not simply about addressing what is difficult; it can also be an opportunity to better understand yourself, recognize patterns, strengthen relationships, develop healthier coping strategies, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been overlooked along the way.
As an LPC Associate, I practice under the clinical supervision of Keyonne Spencer, LPC-S, while providing compassionate, evidence-based counseling services through Spencer Counseling Services. My goal is to walk alongside you as you develop greater self-awareness, strengthen emotional well-being, and create meaningful changes that support the life you want to build.
You do not have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. We can start where you are and move forward together.

Cinzia Fuller
About Cinzia Fuller
Supervised by Keyonne Spencer, LPC-S
Every person carries a story-filled with moments of strength, struggle, survival, and hope. For Cinzia Fuller, entering the counseling field is not just about offering support, but about walking alongside individuals as they re-author the chapters of their lives.
Currently pursuing her Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Divine Mercy University, Cinzia brings more than just academic training to her work. With certifications in EMDR Levels I & II, Compassion Fatigue Education, and Disaster and Family Trauma, she is especially drawn to the narratives shaped by trauma-and the powerful ways people rewrite those narratives toward healing and resilience.
Cinzia's own journey includes a passion for structure and accountability, having worked in roles that demanded high levels of organization, compliance, and documentation. But beneath the structure lies a deep well of empathy and curiosity about what makes each person unique. Her travels-including a recent immersion experience in Kenya supporting children impacted by abandonment and trafficking-have expanded her understanding of culture, connection, and the importance of holding space for stories that are often silenced.
At Spencer Counseling Services, Cinzia offers clients a compassionate, non-judgmental space to reflect, reconnect, and rediscover their own voices. Whether working with children or adults, she honors the belief that people are not their problems-and that meaningful change begins when we explore the stories we tell ourselves, and begin telling new ones.
Cinzia is not here to fix your story-she's here to help you reclaim it. "here"

Felicia Cavitt
About Felicia Cavitt
Supervised by Keyonne Spencer, LPC-S
Hello. My name is Felicia Cavitt. I am currently a graduate student at Abilene Christian University.
What drew me into counseling was my passion for helping others. I originally began my journey in Early Childhood Education. My passion has shown me that when one person faces their greatest difficulties, they often do not struggle alone. My studies in Marriage and Family Counseling have prepared me to embark upon the discovery of asking curious questions aimed at navigating through client unique stories of who they are and how the problem has shaped their life story.
Advocating for families along these lines provides me with the perspective that all people are deserving of care and when we work together, we can hone our inner strength to listen and find solutions to our problems. Narrative Therapy allows me to listen to the clients by gaining clarity of their stories and find their goals for a better future. My goal is to create a safe place where clients are supported along their journey and find the best solutions to their problems in a non-judgmental way.
I'm invested in ensuring that clients not only feel supported but walk away with learned knowledge that can be implemented in other parts of their family system. This can ensure that the work touches one family at a time; one household at a time.

PraiseGod Atori
About PraiseGod
Supervised by Keyonne Spencer, LPC-S
Hello! My name is PraiseGod Atori, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern currently completing my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy at Capella University. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Sam Houston State University and am proudly serving in the U.S. Army while pursuing my passion for becoming a therapist.
Born and raised in Nigeria until the age of eight, my multicultural upbringing— spanning Nigeria, Brooklyn, and Houston—has deeply influenced my worldview and fueled my desire to support others. My path to therapy has been one of exploration: from considering a career in teaching to even contemplating becoming a midwife to support women through pregnancy and birth. A pivotal moment came when I helped a friend navigate and mend her relationship with her mother—an experience that revealed my true calling.
In therapy, I provide a warm, collaborative, and culturally sensitive space where clients feel safe, seen, and supported. I use a client-centered approach rooted in systems theory to support individuals and families as they navigate challenges, build connection, and grow together. I believe that growth and healing begin in safe, authentic relationships—and it’s an honor to walk alongside my clients on their unique journeys.
In my free time, I enjoy watching international shows (Nigerian, Indian, Korean, Thai, and Chinese), spending time with friends, and participating in church and community events. I’m also passionate about travel, exploring new cultures, and discovering good food.
Whether you’re working through trauma, seeking deeper relationships, or navigating life’s transitions, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s begin your journey toward healing and growth together.
