34th Annual Psychotherapy & Faith Conference

Psychotherapeutic and faith traditions offer resources that help individuals and communities respond with resilience, creativity, and care to challenging emotions and experiences. Today’s headlines—marked by conflict, disconnection, and disorientation—often echo in the therapy room, at the hospital bedside, and during spiritual conversations. To help address pervasive feelings of division, disappointment, and existential uncertainty, this year’s conference offers tools and perspectives that can help cultivate connection and resilience.

By drawing on ancient wisdom, contemporary clinical insights, and shared ethical commitments, speakers will explore topics such as the limits and power of sanctification, the healing potential of ritual, and the enduring role of family, community, and tradition. Through dialogue and reflection, we will consider how suffering is addressed—and sometimes transformed—when we listen through both clinical and spiritual lenses.

Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how religious and psychotherapeutic disciplines can work together to support hope and spiritual evolution towards meaning and wholeness.
