Hi There, I’m Dr. Grace Spencer,
I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in Southlake, Texas where I serve clients across the DFW metroplex and via telehealth throughout the state. As a mother to young children and in the midst of my own pursuit of the perinatal mental health certification, I especially love supporting women as they embark on the journey intro pregnancy and through the postpartum period. My wholistic approach considers the convergence of your biological, psychological, relational, and spiritual health while prioritizing your mind care. It is my joy to support you discover how to nurture your mind so you can take meaningful action toward the life you are living.

Areas of Focus
Supporting Women through Various Points of the Journey To and Through Motherhood
The Pregnancy Journey
Trying to Conceive, Infertility, Emotional Support, Fertility Support,
Trying to conceive can be an emotional rollercoaster—filled with hope, disappointment, anxiety, and uncertainty. Whether you're navigating infertility, struggling to get pregnant, or feeling overwhelmed by the pressure of the process, you don’t have to go through it alone. I provide support for women trying to conceive so you can manage anxiety, process grief, and stay grounded throughout your journey. Together, we’ll help you feel more in control and emotionally supported—no matter where you are in the process.
Birth Trauma Therapy
Traumatic Birth, Difficult Delivery, PTSD After Birth
If your birth experience felt traumatic, overwhelming, or not what you expected, those feelings are valid—and treatable. I support women with birth trauma by helping you process difficult or traumatic birth experiences, reduce symptoms of anxiety or PTSD, and regain a sense of safety in your body. Through our work, you’ll begin to release what’s been weighing on you and move toward feeling more empowered, calm, and emotionally grounded in your motherhood journey.
Postpartum Support
The postpartum season can bring unexpected emotional challenges—from postpartum anxiety and depression to feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unlike yourself. I offer postpartum therapy for new moms who need a safe space to process emotions, navigate identity changes, and find balance in this new season of life. Together, we’ll work to reduce anxiety, build emotional stability, and help you feel more like yourself again—confident, supported, and present in your daily life.
Postpartum Anxiety, Depression, Overwhelm, Identity Changes
Pregnancy Loss & Miscarriage
Pregnancy loss and miscarriage can leave you carrying deep grief that often goes unseen or unsupported. I provide therapy for miscarriage and pregnancy loss, offering a compassionate space to process your emotions, honor your experience, and begin healing. Whether your loss was recent or long ago, we’ll work together to help you move through the grief, reduce emotional heaviness, and find a sense of peace and hope again.

Services I Offer
Here are a few ways to work with me…
Deciding to begin therapy is a meaningful and courageous step—one that deserves recognition. Finding a therapist who truly feels like the right match for your unique needs and experiences is incredibly important.
My aim is to create a warm, welcoming space where your story is met with genuine validation, deep understanding, and compassion. At the same time, I offer thoughtful, gentle challenges designed to support your personal growth and help you move forward in ways that feel empowering and authentic to you.
Together, we'll incorporate regular check-ins to reflect on your progress, celebrate your strengths, and ensure the work remains aligned with your goals. I'm here to walk alongside you—supporting your healing while honoring your pace and resilience every step of the way.
I'm glad you've taken this step toward exploring therapy, and I'd be honored to connect and see how we might work together.

Individual Therapy
Teletherapy
I offer therapy both in-person in the DFW area and through secure teletherapy for clients anywhere in Texas. Whether we meet face-to-face or connect virtually, my focus remains the same: providing a compassionate, effective space where you can explore your experiences, build insight, and move toward the changes you’re seeking.
Many people find teletherapy to be a wonderfully supportive option—research and client experiences consistently show it can be just as impactful as in-person sessions for most concerns. You’ll receive the same level of care, attention, and gentle guidance, all from the comfort and convenience of your own space. This approach eliminates travel time, accommodates busy schedules, and offers flexibility when life gets unpredictable.
Teletherapy also serves as a reliable alternative whenever in-person attendance isn’t possible—due to weather, illness, travel, or other circumstances—ensuring continuity in our work together without interruption.
I’m committed to making therapy accessible and effective in whatever format feels right for you. If you’re in the DFW area and prefer in-person connection, or if teletherapy better suits your needs across Texas, I’d be glad to discuss what might work best as we get started.

Career Assessment
Life sometimes brings moments when a career pivot feels necessary, yet figuring out the next right step can feel overwhelming and unclear. Whether you're a recent college graduate exploring what comes after graduation or a new parent reevaluating your path amid changing responsibilities and priorities, a personalized career assessment can bring the clarity and confidence you need to move forward.
The process is collaborative and supportive: we'll start with thoughtful conversations about your goals, values, and aspirations, followed by carefully selected questionnaires that highlight your strengths, interests, and personality traits. In a dedicated feedback session, we'll review your results together, illuminating how your unique profile aligns with meaningful career options—ones that honor both your ambitions and your current life realities.
I'm here with you every step of the way, offering guidance, encouragement, and practical insights so you can make an informed, empowered decision about your next move. Many of my clients in similar seasons of life have found renewed direction and excitement through this work—let's discover what could be possible for you.

What to Expect When Working with Me
My Process
To begin, we will have a 15 minute consult call to ensure goodness of fit. Once therapy begins, we start with an intake appointment where we will review your history, reasons for attending therapy, and goals you want to achieve.
My approach to treatment draws heavily from Third-Wave cognitive therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also utilize tenets from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT). Most recently, I am trained in Restoring Self-Cohesion (RSC) and am currently pursuing certification in perinatal mental health.
Session Fees - Fees vary depending on the services offered. Please contact me for more information.
Insurance - I accept private pay or accept from the following insurance companies: United Healthcare (Optum), Oxford (Optum), Oscar (Optum), Aetna, BCBS of Texas, Quest Behavioral Health, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Cigna. If your insurance plan is not listed, then I may be an out-of-network provider and I would be happy to provide you with a statement (superbill) at the end of each month if you would like to send it to your insurance company for reimbursement for a portion of the session fee. Please feel free to contact your insurance company for information regarding benefits with an out-of-network provider.
Financial Hardship - If you are experiencing financial hardship, you might consider contacting your local place of worship for support in session payment.
