Empowering Healing for People of Color: Spencer Counseling Services offers culturally responsive online therapy with a focus on Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered, and Holistic approaches. We prioritize your unique experience and create a safe, inclusive space for you to heal and thrive.
Agency Philosophy:
Spencer Counseling Services operates as a teaching-centered clinical practice grounded in the belief that excellent therapists are developed through intentional training, ethical supervision, and real-world experience. We believe learning therapy is not limited to clinical technique alone; it also includes understanding professional boundaries, documentation, systems, business operations, and sustainable practice management.
Our philosophy recognizes that student therapists thrive when they are supported, structured, and challenged in a learning environment that values growth, accountability, cultural humility, and reflective practice. By integrating clinical excellence with business literacy, we prepare interns to enter the profession with confidence, competence, and integrity.
Vision:
Our vision is to cultivate a new generation of therapists who are clinically skilled, ethically grounded, and professionally prepared to thrive in the evolving mental health landscape.
We envision Spencer Counseling Services as a model teaching practice where students develop not only therapeutic competence, but also the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills required to build sustainable careers, lead with professionalism, and serve their communities with excellence.
Mission:
Our mission is to train today’s students while supporting tomorrow’s therapists by providing high-quality clinical supervision, structured learning experiences, and exposure to the real-world operations of mental health practice.
Through a combination of supervised client care, hands-on training, and education in both clinical and business foundations, Spencer Counseling Services empowers emerging therapists to develop strong clinical judgment, ethical decision-making, and professional readiness-ensuring they are prepared not just to practice therapy, but to sustain it responsibly.
