Psychospiritual Therapy & Trauma Healing
Are you ~
Lost - Confused - Alone
Grieving - Scared - Stuck
Disconnected - Distracted - Diminished ?
I Welcome You
Have you…
Experienced a change or loss that’s unsettling you
Done everything “right” but still don’t feel right
Struggled to connect with what’s truly important
Become estranged from the joy of living
Or become ~
Unable to quiet the anxiousness
Tired of ignoring your deepest needs
Sick of turning against yourself
Afraid it’s never going to get any better…
Come, sit, rest.
You are not alone.
I’ve been there too.
The good news is there’s a way through.
I help struggling adults get to the root of their issues, heal, and come alive again.
I help you face your darkness, so you can rediscover your light.

Some Imagine There Is No Light
Some imagine there is no light
in their life but only a long darkness.
I say that the light is never absent,
always seeking to flow forth within
the ground of the soul, but we block
it in our confusion and fail to see
how it ever shines and burns in us.
So if you want to know the light,
you must first face the darkness
that is in you. Only then will
this light overflow your soul and
dance with your radiance in your life.
Meister Eckhart
Learning to trust Life again
Psychospiritual therapy goes beneath the surface of things to get to the essence. Beyond conventional thinking, past noisy anxieties, lies a place of deep wisdom and love; one that has the power to transform our lives. The trouble for most of us is there is a lot of old pain that needs tending to on the way to the light. This subliminal salvage yard is not the destination; but often requires a sleeve-rolling amount of good hard work to clean up so the clear spring of Being can flow freely in our lives once again. That’s where this work comes in. That’s what I’m here to help you do. Instead of trying to solve every issue from a thinking place, we go down into the depths; listening, addressing whatever needs to be addressed, and opening you back up to your own inherent wisdom, which simply knows best how to navigate the challenges of your life.
Getting to the Roots of the issue
My gift is to see beneath the surface of things, to get to the underlying patterns and roots of your troubles. From there, we tend to whatever needs tending, and provide you with tools and practices to support your journey well. Persistent issues diminish and often fall away on their own. We don’t need to attack our symptoms; loving attention brings everything to light. The answers can simply reveal themselves, coming out from behind our walls of fear and protection. All it takes is a bit of courage, a touch of faith, and a trusty guide to help you find your way.
I’m Carlin Sundell, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (California #17570) and student of Spirit. I utilize both psychological and spiritual means in my approach. I came through my dark nights by the loving grace of both. Together they offer a vital and wholehearted way to engage in today’s world. I have a strong foundation in each, and we can approach whatever is troubling you from a vantage point that makes sense.
How it Works
Clients I work with report getting to the core of issues that have plagued them for years, if not decades. You can expect laughter, tears, challenging moments, breakthroughs, being with hard feelings, and seeing things in a new light. All in a warm and safe container where you get to be fully you. It’s been described as “beyond nonjudgmental”, a place where all things are deeply seen as they are.
This is often good hard work, and most people would rather avoid any kind of direct contact with their most painful places. I get it – I tried that approach too. But if avoiding these things was working for you, you probably wouldn’t be reading this right now - and I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t believe in and know how there was a way through.
So, are you ready…
Let’s find your way home
Entertain the possibility that your own direct experience, whatever it is at any given moment - positive, negative, wonderful, difficult - is not a mistake. It is the way. Showing up for it, whether it's beautiful or challenging, that's the way. Always running away from it and towards something else is just a delay. So, maybe we can, all of us… have an even deeper trust in our own immediate experience.
