If you are seeking counseling, you may be looking for support that honors both your emotional life and your spiritual beliefs.
Spiritually Integrated Therapy is an approach to counseling that welcomes the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Many people experience anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship stress alongside deeper questions about meaning, faith, doubt, forgiveness, or purpose. Traditional therapy sometimes leaves those spiritual questions untouched. Spiritually integrated counseling makes space for them.
In this approach, your beliefs are neither dismissed nor imposed upon. Instead, we explore how your spiritual life interacts with your emotional well-being. For some clients, faith is a source of resilience and grounding. For others, it may be connected to guilt, shame, spiritual struggle, or religious trauma. Therapy provides a safe and respectful environment to examine these experiences without judgment.
Spiritually integrated therapy may help if:
You feel conflict between your faith and your emotional struggles
You are grieving and wrestling with spiritual questions
You carry religious expectations that intensify anxiety or perfectionism
You want counseling that aligns with your values
As an ordained minister and licensed provider of counseling living in Vermont, I see clients online and in-person in Dorset and Manchester, Vermont, I offer trauma-informed and spiritually integrated therapy for individuals and couples. Whether you identify strongly with a faith tradition, consider yourself spiritual but not religious, or are uncertain about what you believe, all parts of your experience are welcome.
Healing is often deeper when psychological growth and spiritual reflection are not separated.
If you are looking for spiritually integrated counseling in Vermont, I invite you to schedule a free consultation to see whether this approach may be a good fit for you.
