My specialities include: grief/loss, anxiety, Christian faith and spirituality concerns, relationship issues, communication, loss of relationship, codependency, self esteem issues, women's issues, relational trauma, depression, career concerns, and mood disorders.
Life is sacred and challenging. Navigating problems on our own can be overwhelming and difficult. Counseling can be an important part of our journey to become the best version of ourselves in our relationships with others and ourselves. A kind and caring presence can help us begin to change and enter into a growth process. I approach clients with compassion, empathy, and kindness to work collaboratively on what you are going through.

My doctoral research was on the role of spirituality in the treatment of trauma.
As a PhD clinical depth psychologist and pastoral counselor, I am skilled at identifying underlying patterns of behavior that contribute to self-defeating ways of living. If you are tired of repeating patterns of behavior and disturbed by chronic symptoms that interfere with work, love relationships, intimacy, physical health, and spiritual wellness than you are ready to begin a journey of healing and recovery. Depression, anxiety, overwhelming stress, re-occuring dreams, traumatic memories, and difficulty with intimacy are symptoms I am best suited to treat.

As a Queer therapist and spiritual companion, I like to do things a little differently. At this time in my career, I’m mostly working with beloved humans who are bravely journeying through deconstructing their religion of origin and are wanting to explore a spirituality beyond religion. I’m doing this because it was part of my story and was a life-altering transformation I wrestled on my own. The good news for me was coming out the other side as my truest self, and with a new expansive spirituality that feeds my seeker-soul and fills me with awe and wonder (without the rules and guilt/shame). You’re not alone! You belong here.

In my 25+ years of experience as a clinical psychologist, I have repeatedly witnessed this truth: therapy is a sacred space where healing can occur when genuine safety and trust are present. Taking the risk to begin a therapeutic relationship is an act of both bravery and self-compassion. Therapy can and should be empowering and transformative. I seek a balance of gentleness, nurture and challenge in my work with those who entrust me with their stories, and my clients have shown me that deep change is possible. My specialties include women's sexuality and spirituality, complex trauma, & anxiety disorders.

I am also passionate about helping people work toward deeper and more satisfying relationships, identify personal values and new life directions, heal their relationship with food and their bodies, and wrestle through issues of faith and spirituality.
I believe that even in the darkest seasons, we contain within ourselves the seeds of healing, change and growth. However, we often need someone to walk alongside us to ask good questions, offer perspective, and cheer us on. I love listening to people’s stories in order to help them untangle the different threads and consider the impact their past is having on their emotions and behavior in the present.

Hi! My name is Dr. Andre Marseille. I am an internationally trained Existentialist and Positive Psychotherapist (PPT). Not to be confused with Positive Psychology, my goals in therapy are to help clients achieve Life-Balance. According to PPT, life can be viewed in four domains including: (1) body/health, (2) work/achievement, (3) relationships/traditions, and (4) meaning/fantasy/spirituality. The demands of globalization and an evolving, cross-cultural world make it more and more difficult for people to find and maintain their Life-Balance. Nonetheless, maintaining life balance is the key to a mentally healthy & meaningful life.

Spirituality Therapists
What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
