About Spence
Our Mission & Ministry
To help hurting people find genuine healing.

In 1999, his son Charles, moved back from Portland, Oregon where he received his Master’s in Counseling, and began working at Spence Counseling Center full time.
After this expansion, Spence Counseling Center began group therapy for domestic violence offenders and anger management. A year later, counseling was made available to individuals and their families who struggled with gambling addiction.
Over the following years, the number of therapists working with hurting people has increased which means our ability to help more people and reach more populations has also increased. Currently, Spence Counseling Center has over 15 Christian therapists in several locations throughout Nebraska, Iowa, and Kansas allowing us to serve more populations with a wider variety of issues. However, through all the changes in all the years, our mission has remained the same: bringing help, healing, and freedom to the hurting, wounded, and lonely people of this world.
As Spence Counseling Center moves forward into the future, our dedication to our mission remains the same as does our commitment to Christ-centered integrative therapy.
Committed to Our Community
We have been supporting Nebraska, Iowa, and Kansas communities for 30 years with a passion for Christ and a passion for people.
