James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
I agree with Alcoholics Anonymous when it asserts that alcoholism -- and all addictions -- are spiritual disorders. The same could be said of many of the other conditions that patients bring to their therapists. Life is very big and complicated and challenging, and our little egos are scarcely equipped to negotiate all of that unaided. Larger sources of support and wisdom are essential, if one is at all oriented to that dimension. My own spiritual life is central to me personally, and is vital to my understanding my patients -- although I never suggest spiritual beliefs to patients. I believe that this is a crucially personal aspect of life, and the implicit power given to the therapist should never be used to sway vulnerable clients in any particular direction. But if a patient is at all spiritually inclined, and searching for larger meaning in life, I always stand ready to support that search wholeheartedly.

Louis Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
Spirituality can be an important dimension of how we understand ourselves, find meaning, and connect with others and the world around us. However, religious and spiritual experiences can also be sources of pain, particularly for individuals who have experienced judgment, rejection, shame, spiritual abuse, or trauma within religious communities or traditions. I have a particular interest in working with individuals who have experienced harm in religious or spiritual settings, including those questioning, reevaluating, or leaving their faith traditions. Drawing from existential-humanistic and relational psychotherapy, I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore these experiences and their impact on identity, relationships, values, and meaning. My approach respects each person's unique worldview, whether religious, spiritual, agnostic, atheist, or uncertain, without imposing beliefs or encouraging any particular spiritual direction. Together, we work toward healing from painful experiences, reclaiming personal autonomy, and developing a more authentic relationship with one's beliefs, values, and sense of meaning.

Bruce Clark
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Spirituality can be a powerful source of meaning, connection, and healing, but it can also bring up questions, wounds, or uncertainty. Whether you're reconnecting with a faith tradition, exploring your own beliefs, or processing spiritual trauma, I offer a respectful, open space to support that journey. Together, we can explore what feels authentic and grounding for you.
