Integrating spiritual interventions into clinical therapy remains a complex and often debated area in mental health practice. Many clinicians feel constrained by ethical and professional guidelines, uncertain about how to incorporate faith-based interventions without compromising their licensure or professional responsibilities. This workshop is designed for licensed mental health professionals seeking to ethically integrate evidence-based spiritual interventions, including inner healing tools and prayer ministry, within clinical practice. Participants will examine ethical considerations, including distinctions between pastoral care and clinical interventions, and explore best practices for documentation, billing, and third-party reimbursement. Additionally, an overview of key inner healing techniques will be provided, along with guidance on informed consent, ethical implementation, and research-based clinical applications. Through case studies and experiential learning, participants will develop strategies to effectively integrate spiritual interventions into evidence-based therapeutic models while maintaining compliance with both Christian and secular ethical standards for willing Christian clients.
