Practicing at LifeStance Health, she provides medication management and substance use-focused care to patients throughout Ohio, offering a compassionate and clinically informed approach for those facing mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and substance-related concerns.
Ms. Spies works with patients experiencing ADHD, anxiety, and depression, while also addressing broader mental health concerns including bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, and sleep disturbances. She treats adults across a wide age range, tailoring her approach to meet each individual’s unique needs and life circumstances. Her practice also extends to specialized populations, including LGBTQ+ individuals, military members and veterans, and those impacted by adoption, foster care, or developmental differences. Additional areas of focus are available to ensure comprehensive, personalized care.
Ms. Spies is especially passionate about supporting individuals recently discharged from psychiatric hospitalization, those engaged in court-ordered treatment, and patients navigating current legal matters or disability paperwork. She understands the stress and uncertainty that can accompany these situations and works closely with patients to reestablish stability, develop practical coping strategies, and facilitate long-term recovery and well-being.
As a PMHNP, Ms. Spies provides medication management and support for substance use issues with attention to both physical and mental health needs. Her approach is grounded in clinical expertise and a commitment to empowering patients through evidence-informed care.
