Spirituality, Meaning & Transpersonal Integration
Honouring Your Spiritual Life as a Pillar of Healing
For many individuals, spirituality is not merely an optional interest or a secondary belief system—it is the central organizing axis of their identity, values, and sense of purpose. When navigating profound life transitions, existential crises, or emotional pain, attempting to separate your psychological health from your spiritual foundation can leave therapy feeling sterile or incomplete.
My practice offers an open-minded, highly supportive environment where your spiritual life, personal faith, or search for meaning are fully honored and seamlessly integrated into our clinical work.
Practical Wisdom Beyond Dogma: A Pragmatic Framework
Drawing from the timeless insights of secular recovery literature—such as the perspective articulated in We Agnostics—we recognize that authentic spirituality does not require subscribing to rigid theological doctrines or uncritical dogma.
For the intellectually rigorous, skeptical, or secular individual, spirituality can simply mean tapping into a deep, internal reservoir of wisdom, purpose, and connection higher than the isolated ego.
Respect for Your Unique Framework: Whether you practice a traditional world religion, draw from esoteric traditions, identify as "spiritual but not religious," or take a purely humanistic, existential approach to meaning, I meet you with genuine reverence and curiosity.
Empowering Your Inner Agency: Therapy is a space to support your personal worldview, never to impose mine. When I am familiar with your spiritual framework, we draw directly upon its wisdom and concepts. When you bring traditions outside my knowledge base, I welcome you educating me—using your authentic language to deepen your therapeutic progress.
Healing Spiritual Trauma: If you have experienced rigid religious conditioning, institutional disillusionment, or moral injury, our work provides a compassionate, objective space to process those injuries and reconstruct a personal philosophy rooted in authentic freedom.
Eastern Philosophy & Existential Depth
Personally and professionally, I draw profound value from decades of studying Eastern philosophies and Asian traditions, including seven years spent living, studying, and practicing mindfulness and Buddhist psychology in Asia.
Integrated Wisdom, Only When Invited: While my background deeply informs my understanding of human consciousness, non-attachment, and nervous system regulation, I only explicitly introduce Eastern concepts or meditative frameworks when invited by you, or when they directly serve your specific clinical goals.
Cultivating Presence & Non-Attachment: We frequently utilize secularized, gold-standard applications of these traditions—such as cultivating "the observer mind," self-compassion practices, and deep present-moment awareness—to quiet mental chatter and foster unshakeable internal peace.
Whether you seek to draw strength from your established faith, navigate an existential crossroad, or discover a grounded, dogma-free connection to something larger than yourself, our work provides the depth and safety necessary to align your psychological well-being with your ultimate values.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
I believe all paths toward Oneness carry the message and call of finding inner peace, outer harmony, and unfathomable love. As a teen, I was drawn to the passionate contemplation of the mystics, and to the presence of Godde in nature. My Catholic roots led me into progressive Protestantism, Buddhism and Universal Sufism. After earning a Master of Divinity (2014) in Berkely, CA, I worked as an interfaith chaplain for 9 years with dying adults and children. Now in private practice, I integrate scientific research on trauma, ancient and emerging spirituality, and holistic wellness. I'm currently an ordained cherag with the Sufi Ruhaniat International (since 2018). I am also a certified Sivananda yoga and Vedanta teacher (2009) and an ANFT forest therapy guide (2021). A mother, poet, and queer, I am deeply embracing a hurting world and mending the ruptures that deter us from knowing this divine love. If you are on a path of self-realization and feel blocked, I'd love to help.

Psychologist, PhD
While psychotherapy often focuses on decreasing psychological symptoms; I am open to working with individuals who also believe that spirituality is an important component to decreasing psychological issues and furthering psychological growth.
