The Counseling Center at UAH is committed to viewing religion and spirituality as important aspects of human diversity. We strive to create an environment that is respectful of the various faith perspectives represented among UAH students.
Here are some of the things that you can expect from a clinician who is sensitive to your spiritual beliefs and practices:
1. A nonjudgmental, accepting, and empathic relationship with
you
2. An openness and willingness to take time to understand your
spirituality as it may relate to your emotional difficulties
3. Some familiarity with values, beliefs, and practices that are
common among people residing in a particular area of the
country
4. Comfort in asking and talking about spiritual issues with you
5. A willingness to seek information from appropriate
professionals and clergy and coordinate care concerning your
spiritual traditions
