Jeanine Siler Jones, MSW, LCSW, and Russell Siler Jones, ThD, LPCS, are licensed therapists who specialize in integrating spirituality into the counseling process. If we had to describe what that means in just a phrase, it would be: we help people connect with the inner resources they need to live fully.
These resources include things like compassion, calmness, wisdom, clarity, and courage. We do not give these inner resources to anyone. They are already there, gifts from God. Sometimes people lose connection with them and need help in reconnecting with them, but they are always available. This is spiritual work of great importance, and it is a great privilege to offer this help to others.

In many ways this work chose me. I am the oldest child of a pastor-father and therapist-mother. I grew up doing things like being the chief cook and bottle washer for personal growth retreats, being the guinea pig for Virginia Satir's latest family therapy intervention, and sitting through family meetings where we talked about what was working and what was not in our family.
I hope that when people come to me for counseling, they feel less like they're talking to a counselor and more like they're talking to a human being. Yes, a counselor needs to have "counselor knowledge" and "counselor skills, " and I have spent much time and energy to acquire them (more on that a little later).
Russell and Jeanine are professionally trained in integrating psychotherapy and spirituality. Russell is an ordained minister and has a Doctorate in Theology from Columbia Seminary in Decatur, Georgia. He directs the Residency in Psychotherapy and Spirituality for the Wake Forest Baptist healthcare system.
There are few things we want more than a satisfying, successful relationship, and yet few things can be more challenging. When a couple is in a good place together, the care and goodness between them spills over and becomes a force for good in the world. And when a couple is struggling or reeling in their relationship, it is a source of pain for them and their capacity for good is diluted and diverted.
Jeanine completed a one-year intensive Spiritual Direction program in 2017-2018 through Moravian Theological Seminary in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. This program augmented and integrated the Wisdom work she has done over the past ten years with Cynthia Bourgeault, Episcopal priest and teacher.
