Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy are confidential processes designed to help you address your concerns, come to a greater understanding of yourself and learn effective personal and interpersonal coping strategies. It involves a relationship between you and a trained service provider who has the desire and willingness to help you accomplish your individual goals. Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy involves sharing sensitive, personal and private information that may at times be distressing. During the course of this work, there may be periods of increased anxiety or confusion. The outcome of spiritual care and psychotherapy is often positive; however, the level of satisfaction for any individual is not predictable.
