Spirituality therapists in Atwater, California CA
Jeffrey Gianelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Spirituality can mean so many things to so many different people. What does it mean to you? Sometimes we feel like we can't talk about it with our therapist, however for many of us spiritually is a core element of our being and it is ok to bring it up. I welcome incorporating spirituality into therapy, no matter what your spiritual or religious beliefs are, as well as for atheists and agnostics. As an ordained minister in the Buddhist faith, I have my own commitment to a spiritual path and knowledge of many other spiritual traditions. I also have specialized training in contemplative practices such as mindfulness and self-compassion.

Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
There are difficult times we live in, and the modern world can be more stressful and confusing than it's ever been. In a world drowning in technology and permeated by scientific advancement, a great many people are experiencing the meaninglessness and emptiness of a world that doesn't give enough attention to the soul. Many people have been very hurt and damaged by negative and controlling religious experiences, and much of what organized religion is offering today has no appeal at all. Yet people long for something deeper, they feel the need inside. Whatever your background and however you want to work on or integrate your spirituality, I am a therapist who can meet you where you are and walk along side you in your spiritual journey.

Dr. Glenn Francis
Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., MFT
Spirituality is not something that is apart from us, but is our deepest indefinable essence. Some people are drawn to the exploration of this their whole life through, and some people are agonized by it. I have a lot of experience in this realm that can be very helpful, especially if you find yourself troubled and feeling alone in respect of your spirituality, or your religion. I have also developed a specialty in helping people emerge from cults in a healthy way; please feel free to be in touch with me if something of this kind ails you.

Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
Our ancient ancestors used art, dance, music, and ritual to connect with the spirit realms. Our thinking, talking mind is only a small fraction of our psyche and experience. There is a vast, inner world of symbolic imagery that exists beneath our conscious mind. Carl Jung ventured to say that this inner world is our soul. When we connect with our inner world through imagination and creativity, we create meaningful opportunities to understand ourselves in new ways, regulate our emotions, rewire unconscious patterns and core beliefs, reprocess meanings linked with traumatic memories, develop a spiritual relationship with our soul, and unlock our spiritual power to heal and evolve. I help clients to explore their spirituality through a full spectrum of creative mediums and ancient wisdom from our ancestors.
