Craig F Spiel, PhD

"Mr. Spiel was really great to talk to. He listened and responded in a pleasant manner and I feel great about my visit. I will visit him again in January."

"Dr Craig Spiel was empathetic and kind. I was comfortable letting it all out without judgement."

"Craig Spiel is amazing and has been so helpful. If you are looking for help - look no further. He is compassionate and understanding and super helpful!!!"

"Dr. Spiel listens intently to my thoughts and concerns or questions and then he articulates all the main subjects or themes and one by one organizes my thoughts and helps me see what is beneficial to me. He does this so well I’m learning to do the same on my own and it helps me manage my stress. A recent change in my life seemed a little overwhelming but I employed the tools he’s given me and I’m adjusting! …even with a quiet joy that the change isn’t going to overwhelm the good things. A mindfulness exercise often helps me to realize I can be kind and compassionate to myself so that I can be kind and compassionate to others without burning out. Negative areas of my life were addressed without judgement. No matter my perception of myself, my personal beliefs, or not knowing where to start or what to think, and sometimes not saying something well, he was skilled in helping me see progress, accept myself, get unstuck in discouragement, or would brainstorm with me, or build my confidence by listening and accepting me for who I am. Such a caring, kind, knowledgeable and skilled dr. Thank you, Dr. Spiel for using your gifts to make my life better. Dr. Spiel is amazingly skilled at listening, giving me his full attention, remembering what I’ve shared, organizing the discussion to help me process and know where I’m at, where I want to be and helping me get there. Three visits spaced several weeks apart, he has also taught an exercise that is teaching me to have compassion for myself, instead of stuffing down how I was feeling. He’s continuing to teach about the exercise so I can fully benefit from it. For the first time in years ( seriously years)I was able to think of several things I’d like to do because those things would bring joy into my life. I am accepting that it’s okay to be cared for and worth caring for myself. After the recent visit, I felt like I could anticipate a future I liked living in. I would recommend him to anyone who is feeling invisible or not understood, down, or like giving up on having better days. Let Dr. Spiel listen and help. I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you, Dr. Spiel. Dr. Spiel is incredibly good. In my first visit, he established a caring relationship for me quickly and when I left, I knew I was seen. I was heard. And I was hopeful! Thank you, Dr. Spiel. I appreciate you listening and your enthusiasm to want to help me!"

"Every thing was on time. Dr Spiel was engaging and professional. I look forward to working with him."
