spiritual counselor
Religious advice giver
A spiritual counselor provides guidance on matters of faith, meaning, and inner life.
Unlike therapists who focus on mental health, spiritual counselors address questions of purpose, belief, and connection to the divine or transcendent.
They may work within religious traditions or offer secular approaches to spiritual growth: She met weekly with a spiritual counselor to process her grief.
