Spirituality in therapy
Room for questions of meaning, faith and the transcendent — when they matter to a person.
How it works
Therapy isn’t a religious conversation and doesn’t argue in either direction. But if faith is part of your world, there is no reason for it to stay outside the door.
What we do with it in therapy
I’m interested in what your belief gives you and where it may press on you. Both are legitimate subjects.
