How We Approach Spirituality
Spiritual growth in therapy unfolds through the willingness to embrace mystery, navigate uncertainties, and engage in a continual process of deepening self-awareness. Our practitioners embrace an open, curious, and empathetic mindset, rather than adhering to a fixed belief system. Our inquiry is nondenominational, client-led, and attentive to mind, body, and spirit.
Founded in 1975 by four Protestant congregations, PSI has evolved to be inclusive and responsive to the growing interest in Eastern religions, indigenous traditions, and mindfulness practices within our community. Our therapists engage in their own spiritual exploration, fostering self-awareness and deepening their capacity for compassionate, attuned care.
In our therapy practice
As traditional religious affiliations decline and shift, therapy has become a profound space for spiritual psychotherapy. In our sessions, we integrate spirituality to help clients find meaning, process trauma, and access their inner wisdom. Viewing spirituality as a vital resource for healing, we collaborate with clients to identify and apply a spiritual framework that fosters growth, resilience, and deeper personal understanding.
In our programs
Our clinical training equips therapists with the skills to thoughtfully integrate spirituality into their practice, deepening their ability to address clients’ existential concerns, resilience, and meaning-making processes. By exploring the intersection of contemporary psychotherapeutic approaches and spiritual traditions, clinicians gain a nuanced understanding of how spirituality can both support and complicate mental health. Our training fosters greater cultural and spiritual competency, ensuring therapists can engage clients with sensitivity, authenticity, and a holistic perspective.
In community initiatives
Our partners share our commitment to spirituality. Working with social service providers, religious institutions, nonprofits, community-based organizations, and even corporate employers, we weave in spirituality as a way to help community members cope with stress, build resilience, and find meaning.
