Everything You Want to Know About Spiritual Counseling

Since you’re here, I’m guessing life’s been throwing some curveballs your way, or maybe you’re just feeling disconnected from the path you want to be on. My approach to spiritual counseling is all about meeting you where you’re at—whether you’re dealing with loss, seeking direction, or just needing a clearer sense of purpose. This is about diving deep, finding what’s real for you, and building up the inner strength to handle whatever life’s serving up. No judgment, just honest, grounded support to help you make sense of things and keep moving forward.

1. What exactly is spiritual counseling?

Spiritual counseling is a way to work through life’s challenges with both practical guidance and a spiritual lens. It’s not about a “one-size-fits-all” approach; it’s about diving deep into what’s going on with you—emotionally, mentally, and even energetically—and helping you find clarity, strength, and direction.

2. How is spiritual counseling different from therapy?

Therapy tends to focus on diagnosing and treating mental health issues, while spiritual counseling is more about guiding you to connect with your inner wisdom and process things from a bigger-picture perspective. We don’t focus on labels or prescriptions; instead, we work together to understand what’s blocking you and get you moving forward again.

3. Do I need to be religious or spiritual to benefit from this?

Not at all. This isn’t about any specific beliefs or practices. Spiritual counseling is just as effective for people who don’t identify with a particular spirituality but want support in finding purpose, working through emotions, or gaining a new perspective on life.

4. What can I expect from a typical session?

In a session, we’ll talk through whatever’s on your mind. I’ll guide the conversation to dig deeper, helping you make connections and find clarity. You won’t be “talked at” or pushed into anything uncomfortable—it’s a safe space to explore what’s weighing on you. I might introduce spiritual or energetic tools if it feels right, but everything is tailored to you.

5. What types of issues can spiritual counseling help with?

Spiritual counseling can help with pretty much anything that’s weighing on you: grief, stress, relationship issues, life transitions, feelings of being stuck, a lack of purpose, trauma, and more. It’s also great for personal growth and understanding yourself better.

6. Is this a good fit if I’m new to spirituality?

Absolutely. You don’t need any prior experience or beliefs. I meet you where you are—whether you’re curious about spirituality or completely unfamiliar with it.

7. How often should I come to sessions?

For real progress, biweekly sessions tend to work best. They give us time to dive deep but also allow space in between to process and reflect. Some people prefer weekly for quicker growth, while others go monthly if they’re in a maintenance phase.

8. Can sessions be done remotely?

Yes, they can! We can meet virtually, which is just as effective as in person. It’s really about the connection and guidance, not the physical setting.

9. Is everything we discuss confidential?

Yes, 100%. Everything you share is completely private. You should feel comfortable knowing that what’s said in a session stays in that space.

10. How do I know if spiritual counseling is right for me?

If you’re feeling stuck, seeking purpose, or struggling with a challenge and want guidance that goes beyond surface-level advice, spiritual counseling could be a great fit. It’s also for those who want a deeper connection to themselves, with or without traditional therapy.

11. Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, I understand that sometimes finances can be tight. I’m open to discussing flexible payment options on a case-by-case basis if that helps make support accessible for you.

12. What’s the difference between spiritual counseling and coaching?

Spiritual counseling is more introspective and emotionally focused. Coaching often has specific goals and action steps, while counseling is a deeper exploration of your personal, emotional, and spiritual needs. It’s less about “doing” and more about “being” and finding clarity.

13. Is there homework or follow-up work after sessions?

Sometimes. If I feel something specific could help you between sessions, I’ll suggest it, but there’s no pressure. Homework could be as simple as reflecting on a thought, journaling, or a grounding exercise. It’s always tailored to you and what feels manageable.

14. What’s the cost of sessions?

Single sessions are $350 for 90 minutes. I also offer three- and six-month packages with biweekly sessions and in-between support at a reduced rate. If you’re interested in a longer commitment, we can discuss what works best for you.

15. What does the “in-between support” include?

In between biweekly sessions, I offer voice or text support. This means if something comes up or you’re in need of quick guidance, you can reach out. It’s a good way to stay grounded and connected without waiting for the next session.

16. Do I need to prepare anything before our sessions?

Nope, just bring yourself. If you have something specific you want to discuss, keep that in mind, but there’s no need for a big prep. Our work together is about what’s true and real for you in the moment.

17. Is this the same as energy healing?

It can include aspects of energy work, like clearing out negative patterns or grounding techniques, but it’s not the same as a full energy healing session. Spiritual counseling is more of a blend—it’s talk-based with some energetic or spiritual tools brought in if they’re helpful for what you’re working through.

18. Can I still do therapy while working with you?

Yes, many people do both. Spiritual counseling complements therapy well because it’s focused on your personal and spiritual growth. Therapy can help you dig into mental health concerns, while counseling can provide clarity, connection, and insight on a broader level.

19. What makes this different from a support group?

In spiritual counseling, it’s just you and me, working on whatever you need. It’s a very personal experience, customized to you. Support groups can be great but are usually more general. Counseling is about finding what you specifically need to grow, heal, or just make sense of things.

20. How long does it take to see results?

It varies. Some people feel a shift after one session, while others notice gradual changes over a few months. It depends on what you’re working through, how much you’re able to integrate the work into your life, and your own readiness for change. Real transformation takes time, but even small steps forward are valuable.
