I’m a licensed independent clinical social worker and an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA). Working at the Danielsen Institute training new clinicians in spiritually-sensitive psychotherapy and teaching on integrations of the Christian faith and LGBTQ+ identity is a dream come true. My hope is to help clinicians become competent in working with individuals who come from highly reactive religious backgrounds, to heal trauma, integrate identity, and find a sense of wholeness.
Happy to connect with those considering working in the church (lay or ordained) or in psychotherapy, as well as collaborating on research and teaching.
Contact Rev. Dr. Jonathan for academic support, research support, career support, coming out, mentoring, and general networking.
