About Transpersonal Therapy
Transpersonal therapy integrates spiritual and transcendent aspects of human experience into psychological healing. While our network of transpersonal therapists is growing, you can explore therapists who incorporate spirituality and meaning-making into their work.
Transpersonal therapy is an approach that honors the spiritual and transcendent dimensions of human experience alongside psychological well-being. It recognizes that healing often involves questions of meaning, purpose, connection, and experiences that go beyond the individual self. Transpersonal therapists may work with meditation, dreams, peak experiences, and spiritual practices.
This approach appeals to people seeking therapy that addresses the whole person, including spiritual concerns. If you're interested in meaning-centered work, you can explore therapists on First Session who offer existential therapy, holistic approaches, or mindfulness-based therapy.

Therapy is hard work.
Transpersonal therapy is a psychological approach that integrates spiritual and transcendent aspects of human experience. Developed in the late 1960s, it emerged from humanistic psychology and draws from wisdom traditions worldwide. Transpersonal therapy addresses not only psychological symptoms but also questions of meaning, purpose, spiritual development, and connection to something greater than oneself.
Transpersonal therapy may help people find deeper meaning, integrate spiritual experiences, and develop a more expansive sense of self. It can address existential concerns, support spiritual growth, and help people make sense of transcendent or mystical experiences. Many find it helpful for life transitions, grief, and questions about purpose. It offers a framework that honors both psychological and spiritual dimensions of healing.
Transpersonal therapy may appeal to people interested in spiritual growth, those experiencing existential questions, or anyone wanting therapy that addresses meaning and purpose. It can be helpful for integrating spiritual or mystical experiences, navigating spiritual crises, or deepening meditation practice. People seeking holistic approaches that honor their spiritual life often resonate with this work.
While our network of transpersonal specialists is growing, you can explore therapists on First Session who integrate spirituality into their work. Look for therapists who mention working with meaning, purpose, spirituality, or holistic approaches. Existential therapists often address similar concerns. Ask potential therapists about their comfort with spiritual topics.
Existential therapy addresses meaning, freedom, and authentic living. Humanistic therapy focuses on self-actualization and growth. Mindfulness-based therapy integrates contemplative practices. Jungian therapy works with spiritual and archetypal dimensions of the psyche.
