This course invites students to explore their own spiritual foundations and examine how spiritual dimensions can be thoughtfully integrated into the counseling process. Rather than aiming to alter personal spiritual or religious beliefs, the course emphasizes experiential and analytical engagement with spirituality as it relates to human development and therapeutic practice. Students will investigate methods for incorporating spiritual and religious issues into counseling and psychotherapy in ways that support clients’ growth and well-being. Course content is structured around the Association for Spiritual, Ethical, and Religious Values in Counseling (ASERVIC) competencies for addressing spiritual and religious issues in counseling. Fee: Additional course fee required.
