About Werner Spitzfaden, LCSW

Finding the right fit with a therapist can feel confusing. My goal is to provide you with a supportive and non-judgmental space and work through your concerns and feelings while empowering you to make positive changes in your life.

With 30 plus years of experience in therapy and corporate management, my focus is on applying effective evidence based strategies and to help you find what’s preventing you from experiencing more joy and beneficial directions in your life. Your treatment occurs in a supportive atmosphere utilizing a variety of approaches to achieve the change you're wanting within yourself and in your circumstances.

Utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches including a powerful version of CBT (TEAM Cognitive Behavioral Therapy developed by Dr. David Burns), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), Mindfulness, Exposure and Response Prevention, and other approaches, our focus will be to lead you to feeling better without years of therapy.

Emphasizing therapeutic outcomes with before and after testing, therapeutic alliance, motivation and many powerful methods, these approaches are effective in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, fear of flying, driving, bridges, social phobias, communication and relationship issues (personal and work related), habits and addictions and so much more.
