About Javonne Spivey

My name is Javonne Spivey and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 10 years of experience. I have worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, trauma, and relationship challenges. My counseling style is genuine and validating. I am passionate about building therapeutic rapport with individuals to help them identify strengths as they work towards achieving personal goals. I believe therapy consists of a collaborative relationship and therefore I welcome feedback and encourage individuals to be an active participant in their treatment. My approach to treatment combines cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. I am intentional about educating individuals about the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and highlighting the power of thoughts and self-talk. I am a Christian and I enjoy utilizing scripture to help individuals achieve wellness that will lead to greatness. I have experience with implementing bible plans in treatment to help individuals address depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and purpose. I created a Christian mental wellness journal titled, Changing My Unhealthy Thoughts. The journal teaches the skills of utilizing scripture and taking thoughts captive to control and manage thinking patterns. The journal introduces a technique called prayerful thoughts. Prayerful thoughts are thoughts rooted in scripture. The journal encourages the reader to challenge unhealthy thoughts with scripture and replace unhealthy thoughts with prayerful thoughts. I appreciate your interest in working with me and I am looking forward to listening to your story and building a therapeutic relationship. My mission is to help you achieve wellness that leads to greatness. Let’s get started!

“Javonne has been absolutely amazing! She has helped me sort through so much over the past few months. Since the very first day, I have felt comfortable opening up and sharing with her. It is apparent to me that she genuinely cares about the wellbeing of her patients and prioritizes our concerns. I greatly appreciate her for being compassionate and taking the time to listen to me without judgment. If you are looking for a therapist who is supportive and understanding, don't look any further!”

“She is attentive, caring, truly wants to understand my issues and provide appropriate assistance. She is direct with feedback, even if it’s something I may not want to hear. She simplifies things for me that I feel are complex and always has a path forward for me. She is flexible with scheduling and lets me know if time slots open up sooner. I’ve made tremendous progress with her support. I highly recommend Javonne Spivey.”

“Great experience very helpful and understanding”

“My first session was amazing. I felt heard & seen. Javonne offered sound advice to help me navigate my issues. After our session she also provided me with actionable steps I can implement in my day to day. I felt very comfortable during the session which led to me being open to share more about a list of things. My experience was beyond a 10/10 and has encouraged me more to continue on with therapy.”
