Spiritual Counseling

Are there issues in your life that seem paralyzing you? Have life events left you wounded and confused? Do you crave freedom from negative thoughts and dysfunctional behaviors? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then spiritual counseling may be the answer. At Pastoral Counseling Service in Milwaukee, we believe in assisting, facilitating and guiding clients towards discovering their authentic selves. Find out how an experienced spiritual counselor can help you reach your dreams and goals.

What is Spiritual Counseling?

In general, spirituality is becoming increasingly important in many people’s lives. Unlike traditional therapy, spiritual counseling focuses on a person’s spiritual side. Whether you’re seeking counseling to explore your own spiritual beliefs or just looking to speak with someone regarding problems in your life, spiritual counseling can help. By integrating standard therapy techniques with religious practices, we can help you through your journey to emotional and spiritual wholeness. 

Do I Have to be Religious to Benefit from Spiritual Counseling?

No, you don’t have to be religious to benefit from spiritual counseling. Spiritual counseling is available to anyone and everyone, regardless if you consider yourself religious or not. You might be wondering why a non-religious person would seek out this type of counseling. The fact is that spiritual counseling is beneficial for those who are unsure if they are in fact spiritual or religious. The goal isn’t to “push” religious beliefs on you, but rather to guide and advise you on all matters, whether they’re spiritual in nature or not. However, it is beneficial to explore how each client’s emotions are related to their belief system in order to provide effective treatment.What Should I Look for in a Spiritual Counselor?

As we all know, choosing the right counselor along with the right therapeutic approach is crucial for the efficacy of treatment. A counselor isn’t just an observer of your emotional journey but a fellow traveler who provides ample support. Any counselor who is conducting spiritual counseling should remain present and prioritize your needs in therapy. You’ll want to find a therapist who you feel comfortable opening up to. As you conduct your search, here are a few questions to ask a potential spiritual counselor:

  • How can spiritual counseling help me?
  • How long will treatment last?
  • What are your religious beliefs?
  • When will we meet and how often will the sessions take place?
