During a traumatic event, the brain can become overwhelmed, leaving memories fragmented and difficult to process. This often leads to distressing symptoms such as nightmares, anxiety, or flashbacks.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps restore balance by using bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, sounds, or tapping) to reprocess these difficult memories.

The result? The brain reconnects painful experiences with the truth of the present—allowing emotions to settle and peace to return.

➡️ Learn more about how EMDR can bring healing and hope at Spence Counseling Center.

Love looks different for everyone. Some need words of affirmation, others thrive on quality time or small acts of service. Understanding your love language (and your partner’s) can help you connect more deeply and reduce frustration.

College can feel lonely at times — especially if you’re away from family. But you don’t have to do life alone.

• Stay connected with loved ones back home.
• Find community on campus through clubs, groups, or a local church.
• Build friendships that encourage and support you.

Healthy connections strengthen resilience and remind us that God created us for community.

College life can bring anxiety and stress — but there are tools to stay grounded.
✨ Mindfulness practices like prayer, deep breathing, or journaling.
✨ Using the five senses to bring yourself back to the present.
✨ Reframing negative thoughts into truth-filled ones.

God reminds us that peace doesn’t come from our circumstances but from His presence.

📖 “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7

Why include the Bible in therapy? A better question might be — why not?

God’s Word provides answers that transcend trauma, dysfunction, and fear. It offers direction for forgiveness, peace, healthy habits, and lasting hope. As Peter once said to Jesus: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”

That’s why we do what we do. At Spence Counseling Center, we integrate biblical truth with professional therapy so people can find healing that lasts.

Starting college is exciting — but it can also be overwhelming, especially when you’re far from home. Homesickness, stress, and the pressure of new responsibilities can affect your mental, physical, and social health.

Remember: small, consistent habits like regular exercise, healthy meals, and good sleep routines can make a big difference. Taking care of your body helps you take care of your mind.

📖 “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit…?” — 1 Corinthians 6:19

Depression can feel overwhelming — affecting mood, energy, and motivation. But the good news is this: depression is treatable. 💙

Through therapy, healthy habits, and support, many people experience real relief and hope. At Spence Counseling Center, we walk alongside clients with proven tools and Christ-centered care to help them rediscover peace and joy.

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18

When you’re struggling with depression, even small steps can matter:
✨ A short walk.
✨ Talking with a friend.
✨ Taking time for prayer and rest.

Research shows regular activity, connection, and healthy thought patterns can make a big difference. Healing doesn’t always happen all at once — but step by step, God can renew your strength.

📖 “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

Isolation often deepens the weight of depression, but meaningful connection can be a lifeline. Whether through therapy, support groups, or simply sharing with a trusted friend — you don’t have to carry this burden by yourself.

At Spence Counseling Center, we believe God designed us for community, and healing often happens when we walk together.

📖 “Encourage one another and build each other up.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Some people expect Christian counseling to be harsh or judgmental. The truth? Biblical counseling is rooted in the perfect balance of grace and truth.

Jesus calls us to a higher standard: “Take up your cross and follow me.” Yet He also offers love and redemption: “I did not come to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.”

That balance is what makes real healing possible. We walk with clients through life’s pain with both compassion and truth — because both are needed to grow.
