Absolutely. This event isn’t about promoting a particular belief system—it’s about giving you tools to confidently and ethically navigate your client’s beliefs, whatever they may be. Whether they’re devout, spiritual-but-not-religious, atheist, or questioning everything, you’ll learn practical ways to meet them where they are and integrate their values into the healing process.
Spirituality in therapy isn't a side note.
It goes straight to the core of who your clients are—where questions of faith, identity, and meaning can either deepen suffering or open the door to profound healing.
- A crisis of faith.
- A rupture with a religious community.
- A painful clash between belief and identity.
- Or the hollow ache of wondering if life has meaning at all.
And with the right support, these struggles can become powerful turning points—restoring trust, safety, and hope.
That’s what the 2025 Spirituality in Psychotherapy Summit is all about.
Over two transformative days, you’ll learn from 10 of the most influential voices in the field, including:
- David Rosmarin, PhD — Harvard Medical School clinical psychologist and internationally recognized authority on spirituality and mental health
- Lisa Miller, PhD — Columbia University professor, pioneering neuroscience researcher, and best-selling author of The Spiritual Child and The Awakened Brain
Gain research-backed tools and practical strategies to bring faith, meaning, and identity into the heart of your work—so you can guide clients through their most high-stakes struggles and help them find lasting healing.
Don’t miss the clinical event of the year in spirituality and psychotherapy.
