Mind, Body and Spirit Counseling
Holistically minded counseling is a unique form of psychotherapy which uses natural health and spiritual resources as well as psychological understanding for healing and growth. These counselors are mental health professionals who have had theological, psychological, and natural therapy training.
This form of counseling provides psychologically sound therapy that weaves in the spiritual dimension and physical healing. Combining these areas in a person’s life in helpful and healing ways is what holistically minded counselors do.
Across the world, thousands of counselors provide a variety of services, including treatment for persons with mental disorders; counseling for adults, adolescents, children, families and couples; substance abuse treatment; wellness programs; religious retreats; spiritual direction; clinical training; consultation to corporations; outreach preventive services in prisons, military settings and schools; and community education.
Overview of Programs
Pastoral Counseling
Pastoral counseling is a unique form of psychotherapy which uses spiritual resources as well as psychological understanding for healing and growth. Pastoral counselors are ordained ministers who have had in-depth mental health training. The secret of the heart’s influence lies in your awareness of spiritual energy: your ability to accept it, gain strength from it, and understand how to work with it. Many Pastoral Counselors work in hospitals, hospices, churches, and chaplain programs.
Spiritual Counseling
Spiritual Counseling shows you how to find your spiritual direction through heart-centered living. This psychological and transpersonal approach focuses on personal strengths, spiritual vision, compassion, and commitment to create a life in alignment with the Highest Self. You learn to apply transformative tools for heart-centered living, loving, and leading. You can make powerful and successful life changes, in the lives of others, because of your willingness to grow and expand.
Holistic Psychology
Holistic Psychology is emerging as a new paradigm directed toward the advancement of human consciousness. While based firmly in the art and science of psychology, it also draws upon the disciplines of religion, counseling, natural health and nutrition to offer an integrated view of the human developmental process. This mind, body, spirit based approach affords a more rounded and complete picture of what it means to be human.
