Spirituality

The term spirituality has evolved and broadened over time and typically refers to a sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves. Spirituality is an expansive and wide-ranging concept encompassing many points of view. It often involves a search for meaning in life. Although it means different things to different people, spirituality can play an important role in helping people address mental health issues and maintain good mental health generally. A spiritual practice can help individuals stay grounded and provide a framework for coping with stress. If you are interested in expressing or exploring your spirituality as a part of therapy, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s spirituality experts today.

I love integrating an individual's personal spirituality into session. I truly believe in treating mind, body, and spirit together. My clients utilize this opportunity in all different ways. From integrating their spiritual beliefs into IFS parts work, to creating meaning from past trauma, to deeply exploring the client's unique spiritual experiences in this lifetime and beyond, this aspect of therapy is individually tailored to the client's comfort level and needs.

Life is inherently spiritual to humans as we wrestle to find meaning in our lives, whether or not we realize it; although we sure feel the symptoms of anxiety, numbness, anger, etc. when we do not find it. This could involve a search for fulfillment, a question of who we are and what we have to offer, how to live morally... The journey is not easy, as it concerns the very fabric of our beings; thankfully, we do not have to journey alone. Here as your wayfinder, let's explore.

— I-Ching Grace Hung, Psychologist in New York, NY

How you connect to yourself, love, nature, or an eternal being is often not discussed in therapy when in reality spirituality/religion can be just the thing we need to heal and cope from life experiences.

— Janay Bailey, Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, NY
 

Are you wrestling with mental health and faith? How do you bring faith into conquering anxiety? You want more than just symptom relief; you seek to cultivate a deeper sense of inner peace and emotional resilience that harmonizes with your faith. There's more to mental health than just "praying it away". I offer a compassionate, faith-integrated approach to counseling that focuses on both practical strategies and spiritual guidance. I also love working with those with different faith backgrounds.

— Bayleigh Tan, Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in Austin, TX

With training from a seminary, I enjoy integrating both faith and evidence-based practice for those clients who choose to do so.

— Grayson Craig, Counselor in Conway, AR
 

I minored in religion while at Florida State University and I find that using someone's spiritual beliefs can be a strength in their recovery. Our belief system has an impact not only on our feelings and behaviors, but also on our thoughts, self-identity, and awareness. My hope is to help you focus in on your spiritual goals, by coming to terms with the past, gaining skills in the present, and visualizing a better tomorrow.

— Brooklyn Roddenberry, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in TALLAHASSEE,, FL

Discovering your soul essence or experiencing a spiritual awakening can be a deeply profound, but also scary and terrifying experience. Finding a deeper spiritual connection can cultivate a greater sense of purpose, meaning, and connection in your life, and I offer you a safe and compassionate space to do this. As a Buddhist-based therapist, it is common for clients I work with to process past lives, ancient knowledge, ancestral lineage, intuitive knowings, spirit guides and more.

Spiritual beliefs, experiences, practices, processes, and concerns as they relate to life transitions and identity issues.

— Elsa Lau, Clinical Psychologist in New York City, NY
 

I believe the integration of one's Christian faith can allow therapy to be more effective, which is something I myself have experienced in my own healing journey. But I welcome those from other faith backgrounds and completely respect those who wish to leave their faith at the door.

— Janae Kim, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

When we recognise that we are not just this body and we connect with something bigger than ourselves, doubts arise. It is in those moments when we need a guide to connect us with specific aspects that help us not to get lost in this journey. As a music therapist I specialise in transpersonal archetypal music therapy, a deeply spiritual approach and I work with the Body Nature method, in which we work with the 7 main chakras. I also work as an animal communicator and end of life doula.

I approach spirituality from a psychospiritual perspective, combining skills I have learned as a Spiritual Director, Psychotherapist and Coach. I believe in multi-spiritual awareness and where I fall short on knowledge about a particular belief or faith, I am open to learning from you.

— DeeAnna Nagel, Psychotherapist

There is a deeper approach available at the intersection of psychology and spirituality that addresses suffering at the root... identity. For those interested in seeing the nature and effect of ongoing identity formation in order to cut suffering at the root, the coaching arm of my practice may be a wonderful option. Also, if you are approaching or have had non-dual realization I can support integration and shadow work. I like to affectionately call this "accessing your inner guru."
