For Colleagues & Referring Professionals
If you are a therapist, spiritual director, clergy member, chaplain, somatic practitioner, or other helping professional, you may find yourself working with clients whose process is pointing toward the deeper curriculum, spiritual integration, or experiential healing — and who might benefit from a colleague who holds that as a primary focus.
Referral Information & How to Reach Out
I welcome referrals from colleagues and hold them with care. I work private pay, with sessions available in person or online in Accord, NY and online throughout New York State. If you would like to speak informally about a potential referral, I welcome that conversation.
For therapists
Clients seeking to explore individuation, shadow integration, dreamwork, or meaning and purpose. Clients navigating midlife or existential thresholds. Clients who identify as creatives.
For clergy & spiritual directors
Those whose distress has a clinical dimension — grief, trauma, anxiety or depression — and who would benefit from a therapist who holds their spiritual life with fluency.
For somatic practitioners
Clients whose body-based work is surfacing material that needs a depth psychological and relational container to integrate.
CEOs & executives
Clients looking to grow their leadership and supervision capacities within their professional lives.

about workshops
Some clients seek innovative ways to deepen and integrate the therapeutic or spiritual work they are already doing with their practitioners. Therese offers individualized retreats and workshops for individuals, couples, families, and friends, thoughtfully designed around client intentions, needs, and unique journeys.
These experiences offer an opportunity to slow down and create the space for deeper reflection, healing, and integration.
