Sonya Gaffney is very comfortable working with a client whose faith is important to them. The Clinician’s intake process does not include questions regarding potential client’s faith, religion, or spirituality. The Clinician identifies as a Christian who is very active in their faith tradition and is very comfortable sharing their own spiritual beliefs in sessions to assist in the therapeutic process as appropriate. The Clinician is open to incorporating holistic practices in therapy sessions with client's consent or request including mindfulness, prayer, scripture, and bibliotherapy including faith, religious, or spiritual books/literature.
“As humans, our faith and beliefs are inherently included in the counseling space. That said, the counseling space belongs to our clients and we are invited as caretakers of their human experiences and spiritual beliefs. I practice a stance of inviting all of the client (physical, mental and spiritual) into a treatment of healing and affirmation.”
