F. Monroe Spivey
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, BMP, LCMHC
“Why am I here? What’s my purpose? Where’s the meaning in it all?” The answers to these questions inform the very trajectory of our lives. By holding a safe and non-judgmental space for the exploration of spirituality and the existential “why’s” of our fragile human existence, I support clients to uncover their own sacred and unique meanings, living an authentic and heart-led life.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling for spirituality-related concerns, including spiritual distress, faith transitions, existential questions, and spiritual trauma. He also specializes in religious trauma therapy for individuals who have been harmed in religious or church settings, including experiences of spiritual abuse, coercion, shame-based teaching, exclusion, or emotionally damaging religious environments.
These experiences can deeply impact identity, trust, emotional well-being, and relationships, often leading to anxiety, depression, guilt, confusion, loss of meaning, or difficulty reconnecting with a sense of purpose or faith. Many clients also struggle with unresolved trauma related to their religious upbringing or spiritual community.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to spiritual and religious trauma counseling, providing a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences freely. Therapy supports clients in processing painful experiences, understanding the emotional and psychological impact of spiritual harm, and rebuilding a sense of inner stability, autonomy, and meaning.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process distressing memories, reduce emotional suffering, and restore a sense of groundedness and clarity. Treatment is tailored to each client’s beliefs, values, and comfort level, and can support both deconstruction and reconstruction of personal spirituality if desired.
Brad works with clients from a respectful, client-centered perspective that honors each individual’s unique spiritual background and life experience. The focus is on healing emotional wounds, reducing shame and fear, and supporting clients in developing a healthier, more authentic sense of meaning and identity moving forward.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond spiritual trauma, rebuild trust in themselves, and create a sense of peace, purpose, and emotional freedom—whether within, outside of, or alongside a faith-based framework.

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.

Emily Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MDiv, PhD, LMFT-S
Spirituality: Navigating the Sacred and the Systemic
Formation, Deconstruction, and the Search for Meaning
Spirituality is often the "silent system" that governs our values, our sense of belonging, and our understanding of our place in the world. When this system is healthy, it provides a secure attachment; when it is fractured, it can lead to a profound sense of shut down, isolation, and existential burnout. With over 20 years of experience and a background that bridges the clinical and the theological, I provide a courageous space to explore your spiritual narrative with radical curiosity.
The Spectrum of Spiritual Inquiry
I work with individuals and "healers" across the entire spectrum of spiritual experience:
Spiritual Formation: For those looking to deepen their connection to the sacred and integrate their values into their daily lives and relationships.
Spiritual Deconstruction: Navigating the "liminal space" where your old beliefs no longer fit your lived reality. I provide a safe harbor for the doubt, anger, and grief that often accompany the dismantling of a faith system.
Spiritual Trauma & Disillusionment: Addressing the deep wounds caused by high-control religious environments, spiritual abuse, or the systemic misuse of power within faith communities.
A Multidimensional Path to Integration
Using Systems Theory, Attachment, and EMDR, we address the "soul-work" through a clinical lens:
Healing the "Attachment to the Divine": We explore how your early relationships with caregivers have shaped your internal "image of God" or the Universe, working to repair the anxiety or avoidance found there.
EMDR for Religious Trauma: We use EMDR to target the specific memories of "spiritual shunning" or religious fear-based messaging that keep your nervous system in a state of hyper-vigilance or rejection sensitivity.
Power & Equity: Using Systems Theory, we examine how social constructs of power and inequity have influenced your spiritual community and your personal sense of worth.
Holding Space for the "Professional" Spiritualist
As a faculty member who has spent years in both the academy and the clinic, I have a "special love" for working with pastors and spiritual leaders. I understand the unique burden of having your personal "spiritual deconstruction" happen while you are still responsible for the "spiritual formation" of others. I provide a confidential, peer-level sanctuary where you can be a seeker, a questioner, and a human—without the weight of the pulpit.

Territa Chambers
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCMHC- QS
God created us in his image. Scripture says, "the strong spirit of a man will sustain him in his infirmity". If your spirit man is not strong, but broken, then your mental, emotional and external surroundings will be too. God wants you whole, so you can live life authentically and fully carry out what he has called you to do in the earth. The bible is replete with scriptures that speak to the heart, mind, and soul. Be made whole!

Psychologist, PsyD
At Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC, we understand that for many, spirituality and religion are not just background details, but the very lens through which they view the world. We offer a faith-sensitive approach that honors your beliefs as a powerful source of strength and healing, rather than something to be sidelined in the therapeutic process. Whether you are seeking to integrate your religious values into your growth, navigating "spiritual struggle" or religious trauma, or looking for a therapist who understands the nuances of a specific faith tradition including Islamic, Christian, or other spiritual backgrounds, we provide a safe, respectful space. By bridging clinical psychology with spiritual awareness, we help you align your mental health goals with your deepest convictions, fostering a sense of peace that is both psychologically sound and spiritually grounded.

Spirituality can be a source of strength and meaning, and it can also raise questions during hardship or loss. If spirituality is important to you, it can be part of the work in a respectful way, without pressure or assumptions. We can explore beliefs, doubts, values, and practices in a way that supports healing and a stronger sense of purpose.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
How is your heart today? The first time someone asked me that question I was befuddled and activated in a way I'd never been before. I'd never investigated my own heart before—not in that way. I offer the question to facilitate an encounter with your spirit and as a way to connect with the deeper importance of spirituality in our daily life. Many of us feel disjointed and detached from our own purpose, from other people and community, and from our place within nature and the cosmos. Engagement with and exploration of spirituality can help us come into alignment and cohesiveness with ourselves and reveal opportunities for connection that activate, invigorate and energize us—it can help us truly feel alive. As a certified professional Holistic Life Coach, I offer tools, methods, and experiments to explore what spirituality means to you, what helps you to feel activated as a whole person (mind, body and soul), and what you want to call forth into your life to be the whole person you truly are. The coaching approach can be powerful and is inclusive of all religions and spiritual beliefs, as well as agnostics and doubters too.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I support clients exploring spirituality through a compassionate, trauma-informed lens that honors both personal experience and ancestral wisdom. I work with those navigating religious trauma or restrictive beliefs, helping deconstruct patterns that have caused shame, fear, or disconnection. For those seeking contemplative accompaniment or spiritual direction—or even what I call “unspiritual direction”—I draw on mindfulness, earth-based traditions, and somatic practices to help clients reconnect with their inner guidance, intuition, and sense of meaning. Together, we explore spiritual growth, self-discovery, and the integration of mind, body, and soul in ways that are both grounded and transformative.

Matt Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LMHC
My graduate school focused on humanistic and transpersonal approaches, which basically means we looked at the whole person, including their spiritual side. Exploring spirituality has been a huge part of my own journey too. I've trained in various spiritual practices over the years, and I see spirituality and psychology as deeply connected. When your mental health improves, you often have better access to spiritual experiences, and working on spiritual growth can actually boost your psychological wellness.
I believe dreams are one of the main ways we connect with our deeper spiritual selves, and I've helped a lot of people understand what their dreams are trying to tell them. Another area I specialize in is what we call "spiritual emergencies," which are intense spiritual experiences that can feel overwhelming or confusing, like sudden mystical experiences or feeling like you're losing your sense of self during spiritual practices.
I also work with people who want to make sense of psychedelic experiences or other non-ordinary states of consciousness. Whether someone has had a profound experience with plant medicines, meditation, or other consciousness-expanding practices, I can help them understand what happened and integrate those insights into their everyday life in healthy ways.
