Topics and Objectives

Current and emerging issues we’ll address:
  • Spiritual abuse, church-based trauma, and high-control religious systems are receiving increased attention.
  • Christian counselors and coaches are encountering more tension between doctrinal convictions and professional ethics (and there’s still a lack of robust, integrative faith-based resources).
  • Heightened attention to language about God (e.g., “Father,” “submission,” “discipline”) is prompting practitioners to discern where certain terms may activate trauma responses.
  • Markets for spiritual goods and services continue to grow, signaling sustained demand for retreats, coaching, and experiential offerings focused on meaning and inner work.


Core topics we’ll cover:
  • Ethical scope and boundary clarity between counseling, coaching, and ministry roles.
  • Early recognition of spiritual abuse dynamics and how to prevent reenacting harm through prayer, Scripture use, or forms of accountability
  • Frameworks for care with those harmed by purity culture, racism, or anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric in church contexts—building safe, consent-centered, power-aware spaces.
  • Strategies to support clients navigating deconstruction, disaffiliation, or post-evangelical spaces who still seek spiritual connection or ritual.

Spiritual Care Worksheets for Counselors

What Counselors Are Saying

Impact reaching all 50 states since 2024

“Being part of the program has definitely had a positive impact on my work with clients and [pre-licensed] students. I feel more confident in my call and ability to incorporate biblical spirituality into the work I do, whether it's overtly or covertly.”

Dr. Rashida Davis, Ph.D, Heal to Hear (Texas, CPAC)

“The training was awesome! The course has been helping me avoid digging the hole of discipleship and stay above ground with counseling. There’s a line, and now I can walk it with care.”

Ashley Alahakoon, Psychotherapist (New York)

“An aspect I hadn’t fully considered before the course is the actual, or even perceived, power dynamic that exists between a [Christian] counselor and client. I now recognize how that dynamic can be especially triggering for those who have experienced trauma in religious settings.”

Valerie Lilley, Bible-Based Counselor (Florida)

“It has changed my approach to viewing trauma and that whole concept of spiritual bypassing—being intentional not to make everything so spiritual so quickly.”

- Alexus Farmer, Spiritual Counselor (Georgia)
