At Psychology & Developmental Clinic, we provide spiritually-integrated care that respects the deep connection between faith, values, and mental well-being.

Faith and Spirituality

Integrating Spirituality

At Psychology & Developmental Clinic, we recognize that faith and spirituality are important aspects of many people’s lives. Research, including studies from the American Psychological Association (APA), shows that spirituality can play a significant role in mental health, resilience, and personal growth. Our psychologists are committed to respecting and integrating your spiritual beliefs and practices into your care, if you wish. Honoring your values and faith can be an important part of the healing process. If you would like your spiritual beliefs to be part of your therapy, please let your psychologist know. We are dedicated to providing a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for everyone.

Additionally, we have experience working alongside pastors and spiritual leaders, understanding the unique challenges they face in supporting the well-being of their communities. Our team is skilled in equipping leaders with practical knowledge and effective strategies to integrate mental health care within their spiritual work. Through our specialized services and resources, we help faith leaders foster healthier, more resilient communities. Reach out today to learn more about how we support leaders in their vital roles.

Church Workshops

Our church workshops are designed to support individuals and families at every stage of life, including teens, kids, parents, and couples. These engaging and informative sessions focus on building stronger relationships, enhancing communication, and fostering deeper connections within your community.

Each workshop addresses real-life challenges and offers practical strategies to promote emotional and spiritual well-being. Through open conversations and evidence-based approaches, we create a space where participants can grow individually and collectively.

Whether you aim to empower youth, strengthen family dynamics, or nurture couples, our workshops are tailored to meet the needs of your congregation and inspire positive, lasting change.

Philippians 4:8

"...Focus on whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and admirable—

anything that is excellent or worthy of praise."
