Spirituality Therapists in York, Bellingham, WA
I specialize in the successful treatment of childhood trauma, PTSD and Complex PTSD. My approach is primarily somatic work, and behaviorism, utilizing the knowledge of the subconscious to end those problems and repeating patterns for good. Achieving women, motivated, intuitive and intelligent are drawn to the work because they are ready to move beyond the mental and emotional limitations that have kept them struggling in lower frequencies of torment. I treat the multidimensional human system: spirit, energy fields, intuition, emotions, body, and subconscious mind.

Life can take us on an unexpected journey. Sometimes it brings an exciting adventure, and other times it leaves us feeling anxious and out of control. Do you find yourself wishing you could get "back to normal" or wondering how to cope? Many of my clients seek therapy because they want to feel like themselves again. Trauma, loss, and other life transitions are painful, but difficult experiences don't define who you are. We all have the inner capacity for healing and growth.

Regrets no current openings. Waitlist available. I work with individuals & individuals of couples & particularly appreciate working with young adults & elder adults. Emphasis is on building self-efficacy, a positive psychology approach supported by CBT - not only navigating the impact of internal and external weaknesses but also building your strengths - what else is going to bail you when times get rough! And yes, it's OK to have weaknesses. No human is without. To say, "I have weakness," is not to say, "I am weak."

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.
