Spirituality in Counseling

Dr. Christine Belaire, Belaire Counseling Services, mental health counseling, spirituality

​
​Dr. Belaire works from a spiritual perspective incorporating the values and beliefs of the client into the counseling session. 

Spirituality and religious values are integral aspects of people's lives.  Therefore, addressing issues from a spiritual or religious framework adds an important dimension to the counseling process. 


Clients can decide to what extent they wish to discuss spiritual or religious issues within the counseling sessions.  Dr. Belaire can help clients understand issues as they relate to their beliefs and formulate solutions that are congruent with the client's own spiritual and religious beliefs. 



Spiritual and religious techniques can be incorporated into the counseling session in many ways:
  • Discussing spiritual or religious issues
  • Using religious stories, parables, or examples
  • Using scripture in session and/or as homework
  • Homework assignments including spiritual or religious techniques
  • Using prayer in session and/or independently
  • Consultation with your minister/pastor
  • Referral to your minister/pastor
  • Reading spiritual or religious books
  • Meditation
 
If spiritual and religious values are important to you, discuss with Dr. Belaire how you would like to address these issues in the counseling session.

Dr. Belaire's research has focused on spirituality and religion in the counseling process, publishing numerous articles in this area.  Further, Dr. Belaire's dissertation entitled Conservative Christians' Expectations for Counseling combined the area of spirituality/religion and expectations for counseling and examined what conservative Christians expect from the counseling process when working with a Christian counselor or a counselor without a religious identifier in the title. ​
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.  I do not give to you as the world gives.  Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.  John 15:27
