Spiritual Care

Our Approach

Our Spiritual Care Services

Because we believe in care for the whole person, we offer spiritual support services on their own or alongside your Hope Behavioral Health therapy.

Spiritual Direction

Overview

A spiritual director meets with you one-on-one to help you notice and respond to the love of God in your own everyday life. They act as a friend and guide, walking shoulder to shoulder with you on your journey, whether you’re just beginning to explore faith, seeking God in a crisis, or wanting to deepen your spiritual life.

In life, we’re often fixated on finding answers. Spiritual direction helps us focus on the important questions, like: Where is God? What is God doing in my life? What’s God’s invitation for me now?

Spiritual directors are certified practitioners with at least two years of accredited training and ongoing professional supervision.

What You Will Experience

Your spiritual director will meet with you for about an hour each month to create an open, safe, and prayerful space for you to explore how you’re experiencing God. Spiritual directors listen and ask questions. Occasionally, they might reflect what they’re noticing, offer encouragement, or take you through a helpful prayer practice.
