Jacob Hamlin
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed., LMFT, CST
For many people, therapy is not only about symptoms or coping skills. It is also about meaning, values, conscience, longing, grief, identity, forgiveness, sexuality, faith, doubt, and the search for a more whole way of living. I welcome conversations about spirituality when they are important to the client’s healing. This may include working through religious shame, integrating sexuality and faith, exploring spiritual trauma, clarifying values, or reconnecting with a deeper sense of purpose. My approach is respectful and non-imposing. I do not tell clients what to believe; I help them listen more carefully to what is true, life-giving, and honest within themselves.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I support clients exploring spirituality through a compassionate, trauma-informed lens that honors both personal experience and ancestral wisdom. I work with those navigating religious trauma or restrictive beliefs, helping deconstruct patterns that have caused shame, fear, or disconnection. For those seeking contemplative accompaniment or spiritual direction—or even what I call “unspiritual direction”—I draw on mindfulness, earth-based traditions, and somatic practices to help clients reconnect with their inner guidance, intuition, and sense of meaning. Together, we explore spiritual growth, self-discovery, and the integration of mind, body, and soul in ways that are both grounded and transformative.

James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
I agree with Alcoholics Anonymous when it asserts that alcoholism -- and all addictions -- are spiritual disorders. The same could be said of many of the other conditions that patients bring to their therapists. Life is very big and complicated and challenging, and our little egos are scarcely equipped to negotiate all of that unaided. Larger sources of support and wisdom are essential, if one is at all oriented to that dimension. My own spiritual life is central to me personally, and is vital to my understanding my patients -- although I never suggest spiritual beliefs to patients. I believe that this is a crucially personal aspect of life, and the implicit power given to the therapist should never be used to sway vulnerable clients in any particular direction. But if a patient is at all spiritually inclined, and searching for larger meaning in life, I always stand ready to support that search wholeheartedly.

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
People who are engaging in intense, deeper personal work often find themselves considering thoughts and feelings about spirituality. This can mean entirely different things to different people. While there are no right or wrong answers to questions about spirituality due to its intensely personal nature, exploring and developing one's sense of spirituality can be a deeply rewarding experience, and can help us develop in deeper ways that are very helpful to living a more fulfilling life. Having engaged in a great deal of this type of work myself, I feel well-qualified to help clients navigate this area of therapy work. I enjoy using various therapeutic approaches in this work, with a Jungian approach often proving to be very helpful.

Mallory Lamb
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with many people who want to include their spirituality in counseling or who come from a religious background and are no longer sure what they believe. My academic training (Wheaton College) and personal background is in Christian theology. While I am most familiar with Christian tradition, scripture, and culture, I also work with folks of other spiritual backgrounds, non-spiritual, and those experiencing spiritual confusion. Some common issues that might be complicating spiritual factors include: divorce, grief and bereavement, cancer or another medical illness, or engaging in behaviors incongruent with religious beliefs. My approach to spiritual integration is full of curiosity, sensitivity, and compassion. Spiritual integration is not obligatory when working with me. I am not a spiritual leader, but am a spiritually minded clinician. Specific questions about theology are best met by your spiritual leaders.
