Frequently asked questions
What is pastoral depth psychotherapy?
Pastoral depth psychotherapy integrates theological training, contemplative practice, and depth psychology (Jungian, psychoanalytic, or psychodynamic). These practitioners hold divinity degrees or ordination alongside clinical licensure, bringing the traditions of soul-care into rigorous psychological practice.
Do I need to be religious to see a pastoral depth therapist?
No. While these practitioners are trained in theological and spiritual traditions, they work with people across the spectrum of belief — including atheists, agnostics, and those who are spiritually curious but not religiously affiliated. The focus is on the psyche and soul, not on prescribing a particular faith.
How is this different from regular pastoral counseling?
Traditional pastoral counseling is often brief, directive, and rooted in a specific religious framework. Pastoral depth therapists have full clinical training — licensure, supervised clinical hours, and often analytic certification — combined with theological depth. They bring the rigor of psychotherapy to the questions of meaning, vocation, and the sacred.
What traditions are represented?
The practitioners in this directory draw from Jungian analytical psychology, psychoanalysis, Tibetan Buddhism, Christian mysticism, Jewish Kabbalah, and contemplative traditions. Many trained at Union Theological Seminary's Psychiatry & Religion program, one of the premier pipelines for this integration.
