Spirituality Therapists in Nashville, TN
I also work with religion, spirituality and faith issues and how they intersect with mental health and relational issues.
Taking care of yourself, your relationships, and your soul are some the most important things you can do. However, sometimes stress can pile up, relationships get strained, or unexpected losses leave an empty place in life. Sometimes even church can hurt. When these things happen it can get overwhelming resulting in many more questions than answers. It is a privilege for me to walk with people who are experiencing challenges and help them heal from wounds, solve problems and glean some redemptive meaning from the challenges they face.

As a clinical pastoral therapist, I am listening for themes and patterns - psychodynamic and spiritual - in your struggle. I sit with gifted individuals and couples to help them experience relief from the loneliness and destructive behaviors that arise from trauma and addiction.

Alternative Spirituality.
I approach counseling practically and holistically (mind, body, soul, spirit). I think it is important to consider where we all came from and how that shaped us to be the people we are today. This often looks like addressing issues that have plagued us for a long time and acknowledging how this is affecting us and others.

From healing the hurts of the past, to releasing some of that "eldest daughter energy", to coming to a personal place of understanding about spirituality, to leaving behind perfectionism or finding peace with the body we live in, there are so many reasons people walk into my office all looking for the same thing- to feel better.
What I can offer is a designated time and place for us to unpack it together, and the support of not having to figure it out alone. Because let's be honest, if anyone could have figured it out by now, it would have been you. Some of my most trusted tools to bring to the table are EMDR, self compassion and a trauma-informed curiosity.

I am passionate about exploring identity as it relates to family systems, spirituality, sexuality, and gender identity.
Over time, many of us have sacrificed authenticity for connection. Maybe that’s meant pulling back- hiding your more sensitive or vulnerable sides in order to feel a sense of acceptance or safety. Maybe that’s meant heightening parts of yourself by over-performing in roles that feel like they earn you more love and appreciation, like being the family care-taker. These ways of navigating relationships are adaptive, and all too often get reinforced by those around us in both spoken and unspoken ways. However, this may leave you feeling out of touch with your own needs, desires, and intuition.

I also weave in brainspotting, parts work, mindfulness, and spirituality.
Before I became a therapist, I assumed therapy was all talk. After all, it's mostly how we see it depicted in media-how we hear it suggested to someone who's in crisis or stuck in a pattern: 'Maybe you should talk to someone?' Don't get me wrong, talk is important-it builds connection and reminds us of the transformative power of active listening and living our questions. But what about our troubles that live below language? The parts of us that are perhaps oldest and closest. Deeply felt, yet hard to articulate. Experiences like complex trauma, attachment wounds, religious trauma, and grief and loss may need more than talk to heal.

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.
