Buddhist & Spiritual Counseling

Buddhist and Existential Counseling

Modern Western clinical psychology is based on the great wisdom tradition of Buddhism. Buddhist psychology, in particular, is adept at creating the penetrative insights that can transform how we understand and work with our thoughts and emotions. This is especially true for the treatment of grief and loss, psychological trauma, and personality and mood disorders.

Two of AMI's Therapists and Spiritual Counselors Are Buddhist Practitioners and Meditators Of Many Years

Dr. Parker Wilson is an expert in Buddhist psychology and mindfulness and tantric meditation methodologies. He will take the time to know you, your life, and your aspirations. He has practiced with Buddhist masters for more than 30 years. As a spiritual counselor, Dr. Wilson routinely guides clients through some of the most difficult questions, experiences, and emotional states that human life can create. It is through such introspective and contemplative counseling that psychological growth and lasting change occur.

Julia Wilson is an expert psychotherapist and a Buddhist teacher in her own right. Julia has trained with several Buddhist masters over the last 20 years, and she specializes in tantric meditations. Right now, Ms. Wilson is a student of the Venerable Tsultrim Alione of Colorado, a known master of Tara tantra. These meditations can be particularly useful for trauma, and general anxiety and healing. 

Spiritual counseling provides an opportunity to shed masks, live mindfully and authentically in the present moment, and explore thoughts and feelings in a safe, confidential environment.

Quick FAQ's

  • What Is "Sex Addiction" and Can It Be Treated?

    Sex addictions are commonly considered to be habitual or even compulsive sexual activities that allow people to exit from connected, authentic and healthy life activities.

  • Do all of your doctors offer Buddhist therapy?

    Dr. Parker Wilson is Buddhist minister and retired psychologist, and he can provide advisement based on an extensive understanding and practice of Buddhist psychology and meditative technology. Dr. Wilson is a university professor, doctor of clinical psychology, and a practicing Mahayana Buddhist. He has been highly trained in Buddhist and existential psychology and meditation by some of the greatest living Buddhist masters of our time.

  • Isn't MBCT (Mindfulness) associated with Buddhism?

    The fundamental techniques for developing mindfulness, while rooted in the teachings of Buddhism, are actually more scientific than religious in nature. Buddhist psychology asks one to deeply analyze one's own existential experience. In other words, unlike traditional religious belief systems, Buddhism is not a faith or dogma based system; nor do its practitioners seek special consideration from a higher power, nor do they seek to convert others to their way of thinking. It is, therefore, more akin to a deep philosophy and empirical understanding.

  • What kinds of therapy does AMI offer?

    Primarily AMI offers cognitive psychotherapy; in particular Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), which is considered the modern standard of care for many types of depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and anger management issues.

  • How much will my therapy cost?

    The Awakened Mind Institute has very competitive clinical fees; this is especially true given the quality of treatment our doctors offer. Generally speaking, individuals and / or families with a household income between $60,000 and $150,000 (or more) find AMI's clinical fees to be affordable.
