Toddy Holeman
This seminar presents a model for theologicallyreflective counseling that is adaptable to different schools of counseling and that is not tied to a particular theology stream (e.g., Reformed, Wesleyan, Lutheran, etc.). Foundational to this model is the awareness that theological reflection has power to shape daily living when Christians (counselors and clients) allow scripture and theology to illuminate those areas where their life is conforming to the heart of God and to clarify those places where their life is in tension with the heart of God. This kind of transformation is possible when counselors invite clients to explore the theological truths that relate to clients’ struggles.
Dr. Virginia Todd Holeman (Toddy) is professor of Counseling. She is the past president of the Kentucky Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. She is a licensed psychologist in Ohio and a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional counselor in Kentucky.
In this seminar participants will: 1. Review current literature on the integration of religion/spirituality with counseling practice. 2. Identify four commitments that are prerequisite for theologically-reflective counseling. 3. Learn a process for theological-reflection during counseling. 4. Practice identifying opportunities for theological -reflective clinical conversations.
Dr. Holeman has published several books, including her most recent, Theology for Better Counseling: Trinitarian Reflections for Healing and Formation (2012, IVP). Dr. Holeman’s research interests include interpersonal forgiveness, repentance and reconciliation, and integration of psychology and theology. Phyllis Kiser Phyllis is a licensed counselor with Stonegate Counseling Associates in Athens, GA. She is pursuing certification as a Sex Therapist through the American Board of Christian Sex Therapists.
