Spiritual Treatment

Our treatment regimen normally includes a series of conversations with a qualified spiritual counselor. Our definition of "qualified" is a professional with both academic and clinical training in both psychology/counseling and theology/spirituality. It also includes a person who does not work in isolation, but is accountable to and consultative with a team of interdisciplinary professionals. We respect the training and program of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors.1 We also respect spiritual directors who are members of Spiritual Directors International.2

During our treatment, the spiritual counselor will discuss the various components of spirituality, noted above in the assessment phase. The counselor will then explore the blocks that prevent the client from realizing a fuller spirituality. We will help the client tap into the various, perhaps hidden spiritual resources within his or her life that can be useful in this enterprise. Spiritual counselors normally assign homework, usually in the form of various spiritual practices and actively coach clients through the successful use of these practices.

Spiritual counselors will also help clients self-assess on a regular basis to make sure the client is achieving the results he or she desires.
