Through a referral from my employer, we had good experience with Spomennka over first few sessions but she invoked penalty fees for missing an appointment for a misunderstanding on her part. Tried to reason out with her and she wouldnt budge. Wont go back or refer her again.
Not a good human being.
Spomenka is very professional and helpful, especially in cross-culture area. She’s the best!
When we, my wife and I, started therapy with Spomenka we could barely looked at each other, we were one step to divorce. And today we enjoy our life together. Spomenka gave us tools that we can use to help our relationship. She taught us how to communicate again. I enjoyed Spomenka’s attitude and that she go above and beyond for us. She were able to reconnect us
Spomenka has a great knack for helping people with various issues. Her workshops for families, couples, or professionals cover a range of topics that might help you or someone you know. Many situations call for a neutral perspective and professional help.
Ive been working with Spomenka for close to a year now. As a middle aged empty nester with extreme OCD tendencies, Ive had my share of personal challenges. Spomenka has been a lifesaver to me in guiding my perspectives about myself and my relationships with others. Shes been empathetic beyond measure and has empowered me to stand up for myself. Shes intelligent, personable, kind-hearted, open-minded, and extremely effective at helping me manage the tangle of varied issues for which Ive sought help. Many tears have been shed, but theres been plenty of laughter in our sessions too! Ive dealt with a number of therapists in my life and Ive never found one that has connected as well as Spomenka. I still have work to do for myself and I cant be more grateful for the support of such a fine counselor.
I have had the privilege of working professionally and personally with Spomenka Vitman at Vitman Counseling LLC for the past year. Spomenka is unique in that she is able to effectively communicate with all types of clients ranging in age, gender and cultural backrounds. Spomenka is passionate about and effective in teaching communication skills between men and women and teaching her clients mindfulness, which can greatly affect how someone handles stress or anxiety in their day-to-day lives. I have witnessed the positive effects of referring clients to Spomenka, and over time have seen patients blossom and let go of old trauma that had been holding them back. Mutual patients have reported that after a session with Spomenka they have an overall sense of relief, knowing that they now have tools to help guide them through stressful situations. These same patients also comment that there is no comparison between Spomenka and other practitioners they have experienced.Personally, I have enlisted Spomenka’s expertise on parenting skills. Those of you with children know that they do not come with handbooks, and she is a wonderful resource for offering new suggestions on how to handle tricky situations so that you and your child walk away with positive outcomes.Spomenka is a compassionate, caring, empathetic, and highly skilled mental health counselor and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve his or her life.Heather Kettner LAc/ EAMPKirkland Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine
I had the pleasure of hosting Spomenka Vitmans Mindfulness Workshop at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance in September 2017. My team was experiencing a significant increase in work-related stress and urgently needed training on how to cope with the daily challenges of clinical trial service. I invited Ms. Vitman to present to our staff after attending one of her workshops in Kirkland.Ms. Vitman is a passionate and knowledgeable speaker who effortlessly engages her audiences. As a licensed psychotherapist, she brings years of experience from her own practice. Ms. Vitman conducts the workshop in a fun and interactive manner. The theory behind mindfulness and skills needed to succeed were nicely presented with an abundance of examples. The participants welcomed her advice and solutions to their real-life problems. In the last part of the workshop, the group participated in various exercises and shared their experiences. They walked out with new perspective on how to better manage their stress at work and improve their overall well-being. Since the workshop, my team has been able to implement Ms. Vitmans mindfulness techniques in their daily routines and have found them helpful and relaxing. I highly recommend Ms Vitmans interactive mindfulness workshop for healthcare professionals and beyond.Bojana Askovich, PhDPhase 1 Research AdministratorUniversity of Washington
Spomenka helped me find my footing a few years ago while I navigated some difficult personal situations at that time. After a period of relative calm in my life, I found myself in a new situation feeling deeply rejected, overwhelmed by sadness and wavering indecision about my future. Im so grateful that when I reached out, Spomenka was there for me once again. She listens with empathy, understanding, and an open mind. Shes given me a safe space to speak honestly, has provided me with alternate perspectives and fresh insights that have helped me move through tough times to a more manageable place. I really cant thank you enough, Spomenka. Youve been a constant champion for me and I appreciate you tremendously.
