Working through pain associated with spirituality can be complicated

Do you relate to any of the following?

  • You were hurt by a religious leader you trusted and aren’t quite sure how to process it

  • You’ve been told that you cannot be who you are and have a vibrant spiritual life

  • Scripture has been used as a weapon to threaten your sense of being loved by God

  • A spiritual teaching has a hook in you that you are ready to get rid of

  • The idea of organized religion makes you tense but you find yourself still missing it somehow

  • You are or were in a high-control environment and you can’t shake the effects

  • You have a secret that you’ve worked hard to keep from your faith community

  • Purity Culture has impacted you and can’t seem to integrate your spirituality and sexuality

  • You would like a pastor but don’t have one (or the one you have doesn’t feel safe or helpful)

  • Maybe you’re not sure where to start, or if you even want to open the door to exploring spiritual things again

When we’ve been taught not to trust ourselves it can be difficult to work through any of these things alone. We’d love to be a part of your process.

“I grew up in a very unhealthy church, which sent me into spiritual disorientation and shame. Meeting with Melissa allowed me a consistent time and space to sort out the spiritual impacts of everything I was uncovering in my therapy.

Melissa was a fellow traveler as I navigated deconstruction and reconciled my faith with my sexual orientation.”

— Daniel F.
