ADVERTISEMENTS  (Spiritual Directors/Soul Care Practitioners in a Christian Tradition)
 

When finding a spiritual director/ soul care practitioner below, please note:

Always exercise your own good judgment when selecting a director.  When meeting with a spiritual director feel free to directly ask your director about their qualifications, including: 1) their training and educational background; 2) credentials and certification (if applicable); 3) theological or faith perspective; primary spiritual influences.  You and your director should also have a frank and up-front discussion about fees and frame, etc.

Spiritual Directors for Clergy:   Shepherd Heart has added a classified section for the paid ads of spiritual directors who claim to have specialized training in direction.  In publishing spiritual directors’ paid advertised listing, Shepherd Heart Ministry Consulting is not endorsing these directors, and is not responsible for the quality of their services to you or anyone else.  Shepherd Heart does not credential nor accredit any spiritual director, nor verify directors’ claims about themselves or their practices.  Choose from this (and any other) listing at your own risk.

 
 
 

Kim Denyes

 
 
Spiritual Affiliation:
Christian
 
Formal Training:
Moravian Theological Seminary – M.A . Theology Studies & Certificate in Spiritual Direction; Oasis Ministries for Spiritual Development – Certificate in Spiritual Direction.
 
Personal Statement:
“As a life-longer seeker of God, my formation started early in my life. I am scholar as well as practitioner of God’s ways. My master’s thesis brought together the Babylonian exile and the healing power of community around non-life-giving attachments.”
 
“Kim grew up in a minister’s home and knows first-hand ministers and individuals called to nurture the body of Christ lack time and space to meet all the needs of the congregation. Called to “one anothering” those in leadership is the space in which she finds herself and God’s work…Growing up with a front row seat on church work, God uses this background in listening to church leaders. God built us to be with one another, and Kim sees spiritual direction as beautiful gift to leaders and seekers who long to heal, be transformed, and grow in God. “

Theresa L. Frye

 
 
Spiritual Affiliation:
Christian, Non Denominational
 
Formal Training:
M.A. Spiritual Formation, Northwest Nazarene University, B.S. Counseling Psychology, San Diego Christian College; AACC Life Coach Certification; AACC Wildflowers Facilitator 
 
Personal Statement:
“I have been providing spiritual counseling in both individual and group contexts for 30 years. My education and experience is rooted in the work of leaders like Henri Nouwen, Dallas Willard, Brennan Manning, Tish Harrison Warren, and Adele Calhoun. I emphasize prayer and spiritual discipline to nurture the body, soul and mind.
 
My goal is to come alongside an individual as they walk with God and encourage extended, intentional spiritual practices such as prayer and solitude, inner healing prayer, contemplation of Scripture, and Lectio Divina. I lead prayer / solitude retreats for groups and individuals. I facilitate groups focused on developing spiritual disciplines and discernment in an atmosphere of mutual encouragement.
 
I am drawn to minister to those who lead in the church, especially those who have become weary of the demands of ministry. I believe biblical spiritual disciplines can renew and strengthen the soul…”

Spiritual Affiliation:
Christian
 
Formal Training:  2-year spiritual director certification: Christian Formation & Direction Ministries – Southern California
 
Personal Statement:
“I emphasize the “hospitality” aspect of this ministry. My role as a director is to provide a safe place for the seeker to discover God in their life. Although my training is biblically based and anchored in Ignatian practices, I believe the training I have received in contemplative and meditative practices transcends religious boundaries…”

Spiritual Direction is often intended for discernment and spiritual growth.  If you feel that you are facing an emotional or mental health crisis, a referral for therapy from a licensed mental health professional is more appropriate than direction.
