If a person is experiencing difficulty in their spirituality, they may benefit from counseling. Some therapists and counselors specialize in religious denominations and beliefs. Depending on what the person is experiencing, they may seek therapy from a person who more fully understands their religious or spiritual beliefs.
Available Treatment Options
Counseling interventions include offering a safe, validating space for people to question their beliefs, mindfulness interventions for self-discovery, or existential interventions for assisting folks in grappling with life’s “big questions.”
Therapists Who Specialize in Helping Those Who Struggle With Spirituality

Images from dreams, sandplay and art are integrated into the analytic work to explore deeper meanings and to elucidate concerns. I use play therapy & sandplay as appropriate for child...

Therapy can be as much about finding more ease and joy in one's life as it is about reducing symptoms and suffering. Self-limiting cognitive, behavioral, emotional and sensorimotor (gestures/postures) tendencies often stand in the way of fully engaging in relationships (with self/others) and in the present moment. Bringing non-judgmental attention and awareness to these patterns allows us the...

I believe everyone has their own unique experience in therapy, and that one approach or theory does not fit all. Having said that, I believe the therapeutic relationship is central. We are hurt in relationships, and we are healed in relationships. A therapist's job is to provide an open space so that the client can express thoughts and feelings, and have the experience of being listened to with...
I believe therapy offers people an opportunity to gain a better understanding of who they are, where they've come from, who they'd like to be, & where they'd like to go. Life can become overwhelming quickly. Too often people forget that it's okay to stop and ask for directions. As a therapist, I believe the most important part of the human experience is feeling comfortable in your own skin and...

It is my belief that many of us walk this world not fully allowing ourselves to come into our own, due to a fe...

Sometimes you might find that the relationships in your life just aren't living up to your expectations. Maybe it's the relationship with your significant other or with your boss or coworkers. It could be with friends or family members that you find the relationships missing something crucial. Perhaps the relationship you have with yourself is the one that's critical and condescending. I believ...
