Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have extensive experience working with people in religious communities, including people who identify as Jewish, Christian, and Muslim. I have worked with people who have experienced religious trauma, as well as those who are strengthened by their spirituality or may be in the process of coming out to their community.

Christine Henry
Psychologist, Ph.D
People often minimize the impact of religious trauma. It's like having a million apps running in the background, which slows your computer speed and its ability to complete tasks. You do not have to live life in the slow and glitchy lane. You can rediscover who you are. Therapy can help you re-evaluate your values and your wants in life instead of being told what they are. You can re-learn so you can have healthy relationships with others. Find a new belief system to replace the one that no longer fits you. It can feel scary to trust a therapist give that you have been hurt before. However, therapy is a good first step in learning not only how to trust others but also how to trust yourself.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Spirituality issues can deeply affect individuals grappling with addictions, relationship issues, or depression. For instance, feeling disconnected from one's spiritual beliefs or struggling to find meaning in life can exacerbate feelings of emptiness or despair, contributing to depression. To support someone facing this challenge, I would focus on exploring their spiritual beliefs, values, and practices, helping them reconnect with sources of meaning and purpose in their lives. This may involve encouraging spiritual practices such as meditation, prayer, or engaging in community activities aligned with their beliefs.
