Spirituality therapists in Ripon, 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.

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.

I believe that at times it is difficult for us to see things clearly. My goal is to help you re-adjust your way of looking at yourself and your world, and to help you realize what is possible. I believe that the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship that develops between you and me.
