Unlocking Potential: The Intersection of Mental Health & Spirituality
Manage episode 508417189 series 2500330
— Many people draw on spiritual beliefs, practices, and communities as sources of meaning, resilience, and connection. Mental health care increasingly recognizes that spirituality — understood broadly as how people find purpose, belonging, and transcendence — can interact with psychological well‑being. When integrated respectfully and ethically, attention to spiritual life can enhance assessment, deepen treatment, and help people unlock personal potential. This interview introduces key ideas, evidence, practical approaches, and cautions for clinicians, caregivers, and anyone curious about the intersection of mental health and spirituality.
Valeria interviews Keith Kurlander, MA, LPC — He is the Co-Founder of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, specializing in integrative mental health and psychedelic therapy education.
He also co-hosts the Higher Practice Podcast for Optimal Mental Health and co-founded the Integrative Psychiatry Centers, a clinic transforming mental healthcare with innovative treatments. With over 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist and coach, Keith’s mental health journey began after a near-suicide at 19 following a psilocybin experience. Now a successful entrepreneur, he’s dedicated to teaching methods that help eradicate mental illness and unlock potential.
