I am a licensed psychologist with over 11 years experience. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of difficulties. I specialize in traumatic brain injury, concussion, depression, anxiety, women's issues, relationship issues, child and adult ADHD, pain, learning, academic, and work difficulties, self-esteem issues, chronic illness, and adjustment to illness and injury.
I believe in treating clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My style is empathic and supportive, yet direct. I will challenge my clients to gain more independence and accept responsibility. My primary orientation is cognitive-behavioral, although I do integrate other theoretical orientations on a case-by-case basis. I focus on areas of strength in order to compensate for areas that are not as strong. I prefer a positive approach to problem-solving. I will be sure to treat each case individually and gladly accept your feedback. I look forward to helping you!
Also, just an FYI as there has been some confusion, I typically respond one or potentially two times a day, Monday through Friday. I will not typically respond Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays unless there are special circumstances. This also includes use of the “Urgent” button- this button is only to be used in an immediate crisis situation, meaning a life or death situation where an immediate resource is needed to stay safe. Use of this button over a holiday or weekend will likely result in no response until the next working day, UNLESS the message fits the criteria of a crisis situation. Further, if and when you schedule a live session, I am only doing live text at this point, no video or audio. Live text sessions are scheduled in 30 minute blocks. You are able to schedule one of these per week, plus write in your room as often as you wish and expect a response within 24-48 hours Monday through Friday. Thank you, I look forward to working with you!
Additional areas of focus:Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Grief, Anger management, Career difficulties, Coping with life changes, ADHD, Blended family issues, Caregiver issues and stress, Chronic pain, illness, and disability, Communication problems, Family problems, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Self-love, Traumatic brain injury, Women's issues, Young adult issues
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Jamie Spohn. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Shopn works really well with my schedule and just having a non biased point of view in my life really helps

Dr. Spohn has been a big help to me. I needed someone to listen to my crazy life ideas and let me know whether I was crazy or not and she made me feel validated and supported. She continues to be very responsive and upbeat and helpful.

Dr. Spohn has been unceasingly positive, supportive, and smart in helping me confront difficult to discuss issues and convince me to actively support my goals. With her incredibly kind advice, I've been able to achieve things I once thought impossible. She's helped me form beneficial habits and guided me into modifying my incredibly negative thought patterns into better, kinder ones. Jamie has truly been my lifeline at times and I can't imagine how much worse off I would be if I hadn't been working with her.

Dr. Spohn responds to messages within 24 hours (except for weekends). Although she communicates via email rather than phone, she is still able to connect with her clients. She offers great feedback and works collaboratively with her clients to develop goals. Dr. Spohn is very personable, empathic and compassionate. She has a warm and friendly interpersonal style that she combines with her knowledge of best practices to help her clients. I would refer her to friends and family

Written on Nov 14, 2018 after therapy with Jamie for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, self esteem, anger management, and career difficulties
I have recommended Dr. Spohn on so many occasions to friends, family, and patients of my own. She has been so wonderful in helping me sort out issues, and work through them. It is so perfect being able to email back and forth, it just fits in my day. As important as mental health is, I was never able to make appointments fit in between work and family, now I can take care of myself without having one more thing to do.

I've written so many positive reviews of better help and with Dr. Spohn. I'm so glad I gave it a second chance. I feel really heard by Dr. Spohn, like she actually cares and shows me different ways of thinking that I normally wouldn't come up with myself.
Written on May 03, 2018 after therapy with Jamie for 11 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship, family, trauma and abuse, grief, and self esteem
To be honest, I was skeptical about signing up at first but Dr. Spohn quickly changed my mind. I made an account and was matched with her but never messaged her and she reached out to me to check in, and it was the push I needed to give this a shot and I am so glad I did. Dr. Spohn is amazing. She's already helped me so much in such a short time and I'm so thankful. She is respectful and kind as well as direct which is exactly what I need. It is very obvious that she truly cares and that is so important. Thank you so much, Dr. Spohn.

I have only counseled with Dr. Spohn for a brief amount of time concerning my self-organization and ADHD issues. She has been a great motivator for me! I am hoping to incorporate into the daily life the techniques of dealing with ADHD that Dr. Spohn has recommended me. Very professional and knowledgeable.

Dr. Spohn has been a great help to me at this time in my life as I navigate family, marital and relationship issues. She is very responsive, punctual, reliable, honest and has integrity, and just overall very professional. I told her before but I'll say it again, she represents her profession well. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Written on Jun 14, 2017 after therapy with Jamie for 3 weeks on issues concerning relationship, family, trauma and abuse, and self esteem
Dr. Spohn, is compassionate and understanding. She is not judgmental and has given me moral support. In the end, I guess I have no idea what to expect from counselling. Discussing my problems does not solve my problems and I am in no better situation due to discussing these problems with anyone, regardless of it being Dr. Spohn or someone else. It is nice to have a compassionate ear, but I shouldn't have to pay for a friend, though I guess I do have to, because I have no friends to talk to.
Written on Jun 12, 2017 after therapy with Jamie for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship, family, parenting, self esteem, and career
I trust Dr. Spohn's advice whole heartedly. I look forward to hearing her thoughts and sides to things. She is incredibly kind and sensitive to my own issues and I value that more than anything coming from my background.
Written on May 27, 2017 after therapy with Jamie for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship, trauma and abuse, and self esteem
Dr. Spohn has been a wonderful ear, a good sounding board, and she asks questions to make me think about all aspects of a situation so I can form a well-educated decision about things. She asks thought-provoking questions to help navigate through very difficult situations. She is kind and non-judgmental. Handles each situation in a very gentle manner :)

Dr. Spohn was very helpful to me.
She was considerate and I never felt judged by her even after sharing some of my darker triats. Highly recommended.
I only wish there was an option to schedule a Skype session or two through the process. But I can imagine she must be quite busy.
Written on May 02, 2017 after therapy with Jamie for 2 days on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, and family

Dr. Spohn has been such a big help to me over the past few months. I was skeptical at first about how much this could actually do for me, but I'm glad I gave it a try. It's been so beneficial and I look forward to our communication. She's helped me feel better, learn and explore more about myself, and is helping me to build my confidence up. She believes in me and that good things can and will come to me and that is so good to know she's so on my side and the side of my growth.
