Dr. Speare is amazing! His quiet demeanor and honesty, make him easy to talk to and respect. He always made time for me and he never let me get away with the easy "answers". He has many therapeutical techniques and he will always provide you feedback. I would and have highly recommended him! Please don't forget his Secretary, Patty! She is organized, polite and efficient! Thank you both for helping me!!!!!!!!! From.....someone pretty lost in MN! ??

Didn't know what to expect and was relieved he talked and seemed like anyone, just calmer and more serious like. Saw him for short time only. Helped me learn how to relax when upset. Also taught me how to look at situations more clearly so I don't get stuck in my head. Seemed to care. Would see again if needed. Think he could work with anyone. Have recommended to another person and would do again.

Dr. Speare is a rare jewel in his profession. He helps people build lives with greater self-esteem, happiness, family involvement, and vocational and social involvement. He combines approximately 40 years of experience with one of the most extensive records of ongoing training I have encountered, including behavioral approaches, Gestalt therapy, hypnotherapy, chemical dependency, and many new and alternative therapies. He is qualified to deal with issues ranging from bipolar disorder, PTSD, pain counseling, severe depression, marital counseling, and more. He is a well sought after therapist you may need to wait to see, but the wait is worth it. I moved here from a large city where I worked with numerous therapists, and Dr. Speare is by far the most well-trained therapist with whom I have worked. He cares deeply about the quality of services he provides, And a client is never a mere number. The iron Range is lucky to have his services.

An amazing find - genuinely committed to helping people and remains curious and interested in learning about field 42 years after receiving his degree. Well versed in many types of therapy including emerging treatment approaches. Calm, careful, and committed. Of the approximately 25 therapists I've interviewed to find the best care, he is among the best two I've found. A rare jewel - and proof you can sometimes find the best care not in the middle of a big city but in a small, rural area. If you're in therapy and not getting anywhere, give this therapist a try!
