Professional Interests/Specialties:

Dr. Spaine's practice includes work with individuals, couples, and families, integrating depth psychotherapy, a family systems orientation, and cognitive-behavioral therapy to facilitate healing and psycho-spiritual growth.

His work with couples includes treating relational difficulties expressed as extramarital affairs, loss of intimacy, and relationship boredom. Issues with parenting, money, in-laws, and sex often strain an emotionally-committed relationship to the point of breaking. Dr. Spaine assists couples in working cooperatively and with greater harmony in these often-trying relationship arenas.

Dr. Spaine also works with those recovering from the pain and loss of divorce. He assists individuals in working through the grief surrounding the end of their marriage while helping them to gain a better understanding of the dynamics that ended the relationship, teaching them to identify why they chose the partner they did, and how they can make wise choices in future relationships to avoid the pain of another divorce.

As a former Episcopal clergyperson, an educator, and in private practice, Dr. Spaine has spent over 30 years working with those interested in personal and relational growth.

In 2000, he founded the practice that would become Fayetteville Psychotherapy Associates, the practice he envisioned as a young seminarian. Its purpose is to provide healing, growth, and direction for busy people who are attempting to balance work, committed relationships, family, recreation, and community involvement. Dr. Spaine's belief is that fullness of life is both discovered and created as we integrate these with a richer, more honest, and genuine understanding of ourselves and what we truly desire. He believes that by doing this work, we are equipped to be more loving creative, productive, and fulfilled.

Dr. Spaine speaks frequently to community groups and the media regarding issues related to mental health and psychology. He resides in Goshen with his wife and son.
