Doctor of Metaphysical Counseling, Mc.D.

Metaphysical counseling offers insights to explain those aspects of a person which exist beyond the senses’ ability to perceive, such as influences of culture, family, friends, the media, and religion. With a spiritual understanding of the world in which you live, you can begin to make adjustments in your life, for greater fulfillment and more freedom. Metaphysical counselors facilitate spiritual awakening and connection to “God, Source, All that Is, the Divine, Higher Power,” or whatever you choose to call the spiritual connection.
