Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
I have an underlying belief that we are spiritual beings. I also acknowledge that spirituality is a personal and unique relationship. I honor your beliefs and want to foster them towards your highest good. Unfortunately, as we move through life, experiences may challenge our spiritual understandings leaving us in spiritual crisis. If spirituality is light, without it, the seeds of joy and compassion cannot thrive. We will work to find your light.

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.

Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Spirituality is a very important aspect of life for many people. For individuals with a very developed spiritual life working with a therapist who is understanding and supportive of their spirituality can be very helpful. For others who may be wanting to connect more deeply with spirituality it can be useful to include that as a focus within the therapy. As a psychotherapist I am very comfortable working with people with a wide range of spiritual beliefs. Sometimes I have knowledge about the the spiritual beliefs the person finds meaning in and other times my clients educate me bout spiritual topics and views I don't yet know about. My approach is to be highly supportive of incorporating spirituality into the therapy. Rather than trying to impose my own spiritual views or beliefs I strive to understand the beliefs and practices that have meaning to my clients and to help them to find ways of connecting with and using those beliefs to support them in their daily lives. Personally, I find a great deal of value from my study and practice of Buddhism. I am glad to engage with clients about Buddhist ideas and practices if these have meaning to the person but I only do so when invited, and in doing so I strive to find ways of it supporting the client's therapy.

The 3 principles of spirituality are: Rejection – Aspiration - Surrender
Elleen Caddy writes: „Always remember that you can do something for the state of the world by changing the whole attitude of your heart, mind and spirit. When you realize this, take your responsibility and do something about it, then changes will happen, initially small, but then more and more until everything is taken over.
Just think how wonderful, how encouraging it is to know that you can do something to improve the state of the world by changing within yourself and then passing the change on to the outside.
Blessed are those who are willing and open, who recognize the need for change and do something about it, for they are like the yeast in the lump of dough that makes the bread rise. Without the yeast, the bread would not rise.
Without change everything would stagnate, stagnate and die.
So change and grow in true joy and gratitude, and be grateful that you can do this; do it right now.
Spirituality means to live from the centre, to unfold the powers of the heart and serve the good of all. When people live their spiritual intelligence, they not only change themselves, but also the companies in which they work and even beyond.
Managers who live their spirit breathe soul into business, living spirituality gives us a mindful approach to ourselves, to employees and to our entire environment - including "Mother Nature". She opens us to the wholeness of the world and lets us grow in the desire to give back something of what we have received. Then there is no place for fraud, envy, greed and avarice. Abundance, freedom, fulfilment and success can become an integral part of life and work.
The fact that many people cannot yet do anything with this spirituality is mainly due to the fact that it has to be wanted and lived by everyone. These changes have yet to reach the convictions of management and executives. Further training can pave the way for this. I am offering various coachings, where participants find their personal spirit and learn how to integrate wealth and abundance into their work and life.
