Do we have to integrate faith?

The short answer: no. Integration of faith and to what extent is up to the client.
I’ve worked with clients from various faith and non-faith orientations, and I do not expect us all to hold the same beliefs. That said, faith ties into so much of the work we do, whether or not clients realize it — it is in a degree of faith that you are reading this and considering working with me. It is by a degree of faith that there might be something better for you, empowering you to consider support. Each day, clients drive to my office and walk in expecting me to be there in good faith.

Spirituality is often overlooked in counseling settings despite that all people have values and belief systems that influence their wellbeing and how they show up in their lives. For these reasons, I invite clients to explore what faith and spirituality mean to them and the place they hold in their lives.
