Maribel Laguna: Catholic Psychotherapy - How Prayer & Counseling Go Hand-in-Hand

Mental health. It’s a big – and important issue – and one that has received more attention over the past few years. When it comes to mental health, or mental health afflictions, we know that it’s important to have a healthy balance between prayer and the pursuit of professional diagnoses and treatment. But how might mental health professionals further develop the skills needed to compassionately care for others while keeping their Catholic morals at the forefront?

The Catholic Psychotherapy Association is a community of mental health professionals “promoting the integration of evidence based mental health practice with the Catholic anthropology of the human person." Joining us this weekend to share more about their upcoming conference for mental healthcare professionals and students is Maribel Laguna, board president of the Catholic Psychotherapy Association.
