Buddhists believe that meditation, spirituality, good deeds, and positive behavior can help a person achieve enlightenment. Buddhist counseling is likely to focus on the causes of mental distress and using self-knowledge to cope with your response to them. The mental health professionals listed below specialize in treating Buddhists.

Your religious faith is vital to you. You want a mental health professional who supports your beliefs and provides advice steeped in your faith. All Counseling’s goal is to connect the hurting to the healers, and we understand your desire to strengthen your faith and mental health simultaneously. To help you find the faith-based therapist you need, we accept profiles from various vetted counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists and we ask them to identify whether they specialize in serving those in a specific religious faith. The below list is based on those profile responses.

I bring my experience as a hospital chaplain and a Zen Buddhist who received lay ordination in 2007 to my spiritual counseling practice. The purpose of spiritual counseling is to support you in living from your deepest, most authentic self. As we continually develop as human beings, it can be difficult to remain authentic, it can be difficult to balance our own highest values with cultural,...

One of my areas of focus is infidelity. Even though the discovery of an affair can be devastating, it doesn't necessarily mean your marriage is over. Each affair has it's own reasons and meanings. But almost always, the avoidance of certain painful thoughts and feelings keep things from getting better. I often hear that I'm easy to open up to, even about things that might feel embarrassing or...

I believe that coming to therapy is about making a home in ourselves: a home where we feel at ease, where all the different parts of us are okay and we don't feel that something is wrong with who we are. When life gets hard we can feel isolated and cutoff - from the people around us, and also from ourselves. When we most need to feel compassion towards ourselves it can be hardest to find. My wo...

During our time together, I will roll up my sleeves and wo...

An artist who never experienced being loved by a woman may look for a different therapy than someone who, after the collapse of the Twin Towers, has experienced crises of panic and is unable to travel the subway. Somebody may want to stop using drugs and alcohol, but may also be interested in finding a spiritual path. Most frequently, people do not know what they want from therapy. Finding out ...
My approach to therapy with adults is based upon the belief that everyone has the power to heal oneself. My role is to serve as a guide, a facilitator or a conduit depending on the needs of my clients.

I practice from mindfulness, self-compassion and positive psychology approaches. We often get stuck in resistance to the very normal experience of suffering, as if something has gone terribly wrong. In this awareness we acknowledge that we are disconnected from the fullness of our experience and ourselves; the mind, body and our relationships. We can incline toward your experience and yourself ...
