Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
In my work with clients, I draw on spirituality as a vital aspect of their therapeutic journey, recognizing that for many, spiritual beliefs and practices are deeply intertwined with their sense of well-being and identity. I approach this integration with sensitivity and respect, exploring how clients' spiritual perspectives can be a source of strength, meaning, and healing. Whether it involves discussing spiritual beliefs, incorporating mindfulness practices, or addressing existential questions, I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable connecting their spiritual experiences with their therapeutic goals. By weaving spirituality into our work, I aim to support clients in finding greater insight, purpose, and resilience, helping them navigate their challenges with intention and a holistic sense of self.

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
People who are engaging in intense, deeper personal work often find themselves considering thoughts and feelings about spirituality. This can mean entirely different things to different people. While there are no right or wrong answers to questions about spirituality due to its intensely personal nature, exploring and developing one's sense of spirituality can be a deeply rewarding experience, and can help us develop in deeper ways that are very helpful to living a more fulfilling life. Having engaged in a great deal of this type of work myself, I feel well-qualified to help clients navigate this area of therapy work. I enjoy using various therapeutic approaches in this work, with a Jungian approach often proving to be very helpful.

Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Some individuals or families may be deeply committed to their faith and base much of their lives around spirituality or religion. Prayer, religious meditation, or some other aspect of spiritual connection may form part of an individual's self-care routine, as might church or volunteer work in the community.
Spiritual beliefs can also play a significant role in one’s ability to cope with adverse events in life. Spiritual practices can:
Provide social and emotional support.
Help people find meaning and purpose in life.
Offer comfort in times of grief.
Provide ethical and moral guidelines by which some choose to live.
When a person who is religious or spiritual seeks treatment, sensitivity on the part of a therapist may be beneficial to treatment because it may lead to a broader evaluation of the person seeking treatment and allow the therapist to explore a wider variety of treatment solutions.
Therapists who are aware of therapeutic strategies based in spirituality, such as spiritual journaling or forgiveness protocols, may also be able to provide people in therapy with resources on these topics, whether or not they are able to address them personally. Individuals who gain strength from their spiritual faith may find it difficult to achieve progress and healing in therapy when unable to address and incorporate all dimensions of who they are.
