Spetseris said Nuci's Space is a great alternative resource for those seeking mental health aid, especially since it lacks the long waiting list of students who wish to see a psychologist at the University Health Center.
Nuci's Space also is holding a benefit concert Friday night with four student bands, opening for local band Hope for Agoldensummer. Students can enter a raffle for various prizes, which include albums signed by local artists and an acoustic guitar.
Hope for Agoldensummer's set on Friday will include songs from its latest album, "Ariadne Thread," said Claire Campbell, who along with her sister Page Campbell and Deb Davis comprise the band.
Claire said she has a long history of involvement with Nuci's Space, which has many resources for musicians including low-cost mental health counseling and practice space.
"I've worked with them for years now. We've performed tons of benefit shows there," as well as Hope for Agoldensummer's CD release party for its first album, she said. "They've provided really nice, clean practice space. Just in general, it's a really nice place to stop by."
Claire said she first went to Nuci's Space to practice, but it wasn't until later that she made use of the Space's medical and mental health support.
"It wasn't until five years ago, when I was dealing with a lot of mental anguish and anxiety, that I found myself asking for help," she said.
"Their financial support has allowed me to get counseling."
The aid Nuci's Space provided Claire in establishing herself in the Athens music scene has set up their "mutually beneficial relationship," she said. "I'm able to give back by performing there."
Her involvement extends outside performing, as well. Claire said she will be a counselor for a children's music camp, or "boot camp for rock 'n' roll," that Nuci's Space is holding in July.
