Spiritual Counseling

Sometimes it helps to have someone listen who shares similar spiritual values. Spiritual counseling is an opportunity to address challenges and deepen our connection with God. Although spiritual counseling is not meant to replace therapeutic counseling, it can provide some guidance that reminds us of the truth that is always inside. Laura V. Grace provides spiritual counseling by appointment only, on Tuesdays afternoons, from 3-5PM at the Circle of Spiritual Enlightenment.
