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.

— Janine Inez, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in New York, NY

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
 

I consider myself a spiritual being living a human experience. I believe sitting with humanity is sacred and very much an honor. I chose to take spirituality in counseling, and a course in dreamwork while in graduate school and am passionate about spirituality. I don't consider myself an expert, just another human walking the path and I enjoy still learning about things about myself on my own journey.

— Collin McWhite, Mental Health Counselor in Asheville, NC

Spirituality is such an important part of the healing process, and of simply being human. More than religion or faith, I look at spirituality through the lens of meaning and purpose; transcendence and interconnectedness; understanding our inner landscapes; the healing process and a life well lived. There is much wisdom in ancient philosophies and even instagram posts, and I delight in breaking it all down, supporting your own process and using this dimension of life for good.

— Corinne Nechalova, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor in St. Paul, MN
 

Life is often inherently spiritual to humans as we wrestle to find meaning in our lives, whether or not we realize it. This could involve a search for fulfillment in life, an existential question of who we are and what we have to offer to others, how to live morally, and so on. The journey is not easy, as it concerns the very fabric of our beings; thankfully, we do not have to journey alone.

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

Many clients seek me out in my local area because I am secular, and they feel comfortable discussing their doubts and struggles to create meaning in their lives without any fear of judgment. It's common for people to question longheld beliefs upon becoming parents, and it can be stressful navigating relationships with religious family members once you've left your faith. Together we'll identify some healthy boundaries and practice ways to communicate them to the people in your life.

— Kayce Hodos, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in , NC

From a depth psychological orientation spirituality is considered a core ingredient of overall well being. When we are disconnected from our own spiritual center, however that is defined by each of us, we can be more vulnerable to emotional instability, addiction, and depression. While I do not push any particular spiritual agenda, I do invite you to become curious about the spiritual dimension of your life, and how this represent a vital internal resource.

— Matthew Silverstein, Clinical Psychologist

— David Watson, Psychotherapist in Culver City, CA
 

Spirituality is an issue I have had the pleasure of treating, dating back to my time at Abilene Christian University. It is a concept often overlooked and one that I seek to synthesize with the mental health world by allowing my patients to examine themselves as beings who can acknowledge a higher power and simultaneously recognize that they have agency in this world to activate positive change. The use of religious materials is welcomed by me to my patients should they desire to use them.

— Dylan Daugherty, Licensed Professional Counselor in Dallas, TX

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.

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.

Spirituality is complex. It lives in how we experience life in its highs and lows, spirit carries us in to heavens and below in the depths. Its my work to ground your spiritual self with your body and to find it's integration your life. Without grounding spirits run too high or too low. When grounded within integration our spirit becomes a fountain of life giving energy and purpose.
