Spiritual Care and Meaning-Centered Support
Professionally facilitated spiritual care integrated within The Lotus Center’s whole-person model.
At The Lotus Center, we recognize that mental health and wellbeing are often connected to questions of meaning, purpose, belief, and identity. For some individuals, spiritual or transpersonal exploration is an important part of healing.
To support this dimension of care, we offer spiritual care services as part of our integrative model. Jude O’Higgins, Ph.D., serves as our non-denominational Clinical Chaplain, providing one-on-one and group support in a way that is inclusive, grounded, and thoughtfully integrated with our broader care team.
What is Spiritual Care?
Spiritual care at The Lotus Center is not tied to a specific religion or doctrine. Jude defines spirituality broadly as that which gives life meaning, connection, and direction.
Spiritual care may support:
- Life transitions and identity shifts
- Grief and bereavement
- Religious or spiritual trauma
- Psychedelic preparation and integration
- Meaning-making after difficult experiences
- Exploration of personal values and purpose
- Nervous system regulation through reflective practice
This work is approached with psychological safety, clinical awareness, and respect for each person’s beliefs.

Connectedness
