Bella Springer , LMHCA

Therapy is a space where you do not have to have all the answers. It is where you can take a breath, be yourself, and explore what is really going on without judgment or pressure. I believe you are the expert on your own life and my role is to help you tap into that wisdom, see yourself more clearly, and create a path forward that feels right for you.

Training & Certifications

I work with individuals and couples who are navigating pivotal moments such as starting something new, letting something go, or trying to figure out what comes next. Many of my clients come to me feeling overextended, disconnected from their values, or uncertain about the big decisions in front of them. Together we slow things down, explore what matters most, and build a plan that turns clarity into action.

My Approach

I believe meaningful change happens when therapy is both a safe harbor and a launchpad. Our work begins with truly understanding your story, including your challenges, strengths, and the values that guide you. From there we collaborate on clear goals that feel doable, not overwhelming.

My style is warm, curious, and interactive. I ask thoughtful questions to help you see patterns, identify what is keeping you stuck, and uncover possibilities you may not have considered. I also provide practical tools such as strategies to manage stress, scripts for setting boundaries, and exercises to help you slow down and make decisions from a grounded place.
I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, Narrative Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices, adjusting my approach to match your personality, pace, and needs. If you are feeling lost, I help you reconnect to your values and sense of self. If you are ready for change, I help you take intentional steps forward.

When working with couples, I integrate The Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to create an environment where both partners feel heard and understood. We focus on improving communication, repairing ruptures, and building a secure, resilient foundation whether you are preparing for marriage, navigating conflict, or seeking deeper connection.
