Description

Spirituality can’t be an afterthought in assessment—yet many clinicians feel unsure how to address it without overstepping or minimizing its role. Dr. Rosmarin brings years of clinical, somatic, and cultural expertise to offer a clear, compassionate framework for integrating spirituality into assessment and treatment planning.
You'll learn to:

  • Spot common therapist “traps” in spiritual conversations—and avoid them with confidence
  • Use practical spiritual assessment tools to uncover beliefs that shape symptoms and coping
  • Integrate values and meaning into treatment planning to strengthen clinical outcomes
