Spiritual Psychotherapy

Spiritual Psychotherapy is a type of therapy which has evolved as people have become more conscious and open to explore questions such as, “Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? Are we all connected? What is consciousness? Was there a lesson behind that experience?” and “What is my soul journey?” Spiritual Psychotherapy provides a safe and sacred environment for clients to discuss how these questions affect their well-being.

Spirituality should not be confused with religion. A variety of things such as a love of nature, following moon cycles, being curious about mediums or past lives, and much more, can all be considered spiritual. One can believe in more without having a religious affiliation. An example is a client who stated she did not believe in religion or any type of God or anything spiritual. However, she told me she had seen what she referred to as ‘ghosts‘. She didn’t want to use the word spiritual because she thought it was the same as religion and that institution had left deep emotional wounds which she was not prepared to discuss at the time. I assured her she didn’t have to use either term, though I would describe what she saw as a ‘spiritual experience’.

Spiritual Psychotherapy is more receptive to the idea there is more to the human experience than day to day existence. The spiritual approach is more contemporary than traditional psychological paradigms which operate in the framework of ‘mind’ or ‘mind and body’ alone. From my perspective, spirituality is being open to explore how the mind, body and spirit/soul are connected – they tend to mirror each other as One.

It takes a courageous person to explore and change their inner world. In spirituality, we focus on several belief sets and modalities to promote understanding the mind, body and soul. My goal is to assist people to achieve their optimal health and well-being by being open to various perspectives.
