Why Secular Therapy
For some clients, it's important to know whether their therapist incorporates spiritual or religious perspectives into sessions. Our work is client-centered and neutral—you set the tone for what's discussed and what isn't. We support your growth, we do not attempt to influence your beliefs or values.
What is Secular Therapy
Evidence based therapy is secular by nature, it's grounded in science and human experience rather than religion or spirituality. It relies on proven methods to help you heal in ways that are authentic and empowering.

Secular therapy is not by any means against religion or spiritual belief. "Secular" simply refers to an approach that doesn't include religious or spiritual teachings unless the client requests it. In secular therapy, you can explore your goals, challenges, and identity through a neutral, evidence-based framework—one that honors your experiences without assuming or rejecting any belief system.
Why It Is Important
Labeling therapy as secular helps create clarity and trust. It communicates to clients that sessions are grounded in science, ethics, and inclusivity—not any particular faith tradition. For people who have felt uncertain, misunderstood, or pressured in past therapeutic or religious settings, this distinction offers reassurance that their care will be neutral, respectful, and free from spiritual bias. It also helps clients who do hold faith beliefs know that therapy will honor their values without assuming or imposing any religious framework.
