You’re allowed to question, evolve, and define what faith means to you now.
Therapy for Religious Fit & Faith Exploration
Maybe you’re reevaluating beliefs you grew up with...
You might find yourself wondering: Is this still what I believe? What do I actually want to pass on to my kids – and what stops with me? Is it possible to hold onto a spiritual life without carrying all the shame?
Faith and religion can be sources of deep comfort. Or deep pain. For many people, they’re both. You might still be carrying old wounds from messages that shaped how you see yourself, trying to untangle fear-based beliefs from what still feels true. Parenthood has a way of stirring up questions you thought you’d buried years ago.
Therapy can be a safe place to lay it all out and make sense of what you want to keep and what you’re ready to let go of.
Together, we’ll make room for your lived experience. You might be…
Recovering from religious trauma or spiritual abuse
Wrestling with purity culture, hell anxiety, or shame-based doctrine
Feeling alienated from your faith community after becoming a parent
Navigating a mixed-belief marriage or parenting partnership
Wondering how to parent in alignment with your values
Feeling grief over what you’ve lost, or confusion about what you still believe
Exploring your spiritual identity can feel messy, even scary. But you don’t have to do it alone.
What therapy can offer
During our time in therapy together, we can:
Make space for questions without judgment
Process past experiences and the emotional weight they carry
Explore how your faith or spirituality shows up in your life today
Separate core values from inherited shame
Grieve the community, identity, or certainty you may have lost
Clarify what you want to hold onto—and what you’re ready to release
Support you as you parent with integrity, whatever your beliefs
No perfect answers necessary, just come and be honest about where you’re at.
