Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures.

Integrative spiritual counseling with Sabrina Jones, M.A. A full hour to look at what hurts from every angle — body, mind, heart, and spirit — and leave with something to actually do.
Not advice. Not a diagnosis.
A deeper look.
Spiritual counseling is the art and science of conscious awakening.
It operates on a single principle: we are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but souls having a human experience — and the earth functions as a school for our spiritual evolution. What looks like a problem is usually a lesson still waiting to be understood.
Traditional talk therapy treats the mind on its own. This doesn't. Integrative spiritual counseling looks at the physical, the mental, the emotional, and the spiritual together, because that's how a person actually lives. We find the root, not the symptom — and then we work on it.
Some people arrive in the middle of something enormous: grief, addiction, a marriage coming apart, a child they don't know how to reach. Others arrive because everything looks fine and something still feels off. Both are reasons enough.
Four movements
Every session follows the same shape. Knowing it in advance means you don't have to walk in wondering what's expected of you.
Ground
We settle first. Before anything is said, we get you out of your head and into the room, so you're not talking about your life from a distance.
Set the intention
You name what you want out of this hour. Not what you think you should want — what you actually came for. This becomes the thread we follow.
Go deeper
We follow that thread down to the root: the belief, the loss, the pattern underneath the thing you named. This is the part that takes the whole hour.
Leave with an anchor
You leave with an anchor — a practice or a piece of work shaped to what came up. It's how the hour turns into a change you can feel next week.
Nothing about you is broken. Some of it has just never been looked at properly.
The soul used to be in the word.
The Greek psyche meant breath, life, and soul. Somewhere along its journey into English, psychology came to mean the study of mind and behavior — and the soul quietly disappeared from the definition. The work I studied at the University of Santa Monica exists to restore it.
When the soul returns to psychology, the aim shifts from coping to evolving. Here, evolution means learning to recognize the deeper spiritual reality beneath everyday experience, and gradually releasing whatever obscures your peace — including the oldest illusion of all: that you are separate, alone, or disconnected from love. As those illusions fall away, healing unfolds through the body, the mind, and the emotions together.
What emerges isn't a better version of you. It's the one that was there all along: loving, peaceful, compassionate, and joyful. Your authentic self. From that place, an ordinary difficult week is no longer something to simply endure. It becomes part of your curriculum. Every challenge becomes another rung on the ladder you were already climbing, drawing you closer to your purpose and expanding what you're able to offer the people whose lives you touch.

I came to this work the long way around.
Within a few years I lost my husband, my mother, and my grandmother. I was raising my son alone and trying to hold a life together that had come apart in every direction at once. I did what you're supposed to do — I went to therapy. It didn't reach what was actually wrong. The grief wasn't only in my mind. It was in my body, and it was in the part of me that had stopped believing anything meant anything.
So I went looking for a way through, and then I went and studied it properly. I earned my master's in Spiritual Psychology at the University of Santa Monica in 2013, on top of a psychology degree from UCLA, because I wanted the training to match what I'd learned the hard way.
What I found is that healing doesn't happen when someone hands you a technique. It happens when someone stays with you long enough to see the whole of it, and asks the question no one has asked you yet.
That's what I do now. I've done it with 17-year-olds and with people in their seventies. I have a particular love for young people finding their footing — but if you have a soul and something to dig into, you're who this is for.
How it works
A full hour
Most practitioners schedule fifty minutes and call it an hour. A session here is a true sixty minutes. If we're in the middle of something real when the hour ends and we both have the time, we keep going — additional time is billed by the minute at your session rate, and I'll always tell you before the clock passes.
One to three hours
Single sessions run an hour. Some people book two or three hours at once for heavier work — a loss, a decision, something that shouldn't be rushed. We can decide together on the first call.
Remote, wherever you are
Sessions are held by video or phone, and I work with clients across time zones. In-person is available in the Los Angeles area by arrangement when there's a real reason for it.
What a session costs
There is a standard hourly rate. I'll tell you what it is on our discovery call, before you've committed to anything — so you can decide with the full picture in front of you rather than a number on a page.
Start with a discovery call
Twenty minutes, at no cost and with no obligation. We talk about what brought you here, whether I'm the right person for it, and what a session would cost you. If it isn't a fit, I'll say so and point you somewhere better.
