Our time together is designed to be integrative - that is, supportive of deeper connection and knowing of yourself - including aspects of your inner world (thoughts, feelings, sensations, experiences) that you may be struggling to feel or understand.
Curiosity, presence, exploration of patterns of connection and disconnection, and support of your experience of agency as you relate to yourself and your internal world are key aspects of the process.
Understanding complex trauma and training in the NARM model have been instrumental in my own journey and my work with clients. You can read more about NARM at https://complextraumatrainingcenter.com/what-is-narm/.Jungian, depth, and transpersonal psychological traditions are also significant influences for me.
I work from the perspective that you are already whole and view the relational process as a tool for deeper realization of your wholeness.

I have a heart for the community of believers - folks I grew up with and continue to connect with today.
To me, there is something deeply sacred in neutral space and relational presence itself. And because of my own life journey, I’ve seen and experienced so much healing and relief as a result of inner work oriented from there. So in turn, that’s the kind of space I want for people I care about. Safe exploration without agenda - supporting the selfhood of the person, acknowledging the complexities of their environment, being curious together about what in them is wanting to be known, felt, made space for.
That kind of support won’t be for everyone, but it might be important for some.
I also do this work because I care about the health of our spiritual communities. I believe it’s important that we collectively realize that religion can be traumatizing and has been for many. This is a new awareness for a lot of people, and I feel I can offer a unique place of support for people wanting to look at it. If we are going to create a world where religion doesn’t traumatize, it’s going to take awareness, intention, and genuine connection and healing.

We are growing in our understanding of the reality and impact of religious trauma.
I see religious trauma as a form of complex (developmental) trauma. It can lead to a range of challenges, including difficulty knowing and trusting one's self, significant challenges around one's identity/sense of self, and heightened fearfulness in relating to life. Many of the difficulties faced by those who have experienced religious trauma track with PTSD and complex PTSD.
You can read a description of religious trauma at https://www.journeyfree.org/rts/, written by psychologist Marlene Winell, who originated the term Religious Trauma Syndrome in 2011.
It has been and continues to be a meaningful part of my work to support healing in those who grew up in high control religious environments. Recovery isn’t ‘one size fits all,’ but for most people, healing from the impact of these early environments leads to greater autonomy, personal agency, and self-trust in their lives, a felt sense of worthiness, healthy self-esteem, and deeper capacity to experience inner peace and freedom.I’m available to consult with churches and religious organizations regarding religious trauma. Please be in touch if you’d like to connect about consultation.

Understanding the difference between coaching and therapy is important. While I worked for many years as a licensed therapist, and I bring expertise and experience from my education, skills and experience in that role, coaching sessions are different from psychotherapy.
Coaching does not require a medical diagnosis and is not considered mental health treatment — it occurs outside of our medical/healthcare system. It is present and future-focused. History may arise but we don’t overtly start or focus there.I view the type of integrative coaching I offer as personal development work, or if the language resonates - soul work. All aspects of your experience are welcome: intrapersonal, interpersonal, spiritual/transcendent.
If mental health concerns arise in our work together that are not appropriate to be addressed in the context of our coaching relationship, I'll assist you in finding mental health support in your area that can be an adjunct to or in replacement of our coaching work. -
My current fee per session is $200.
I understand the investment that inner work is, and genuinely believe it can be some of the ‘highest return’ time and money we ever spend in our lives. My hope is that if an individual can’t reasonably afford this type of support on their own, it might be something their community may help with. If this is your situation, and I can be helpful, I’m happy to meet with church patrons or other decision-makers regarding the value of this kind of one on one support.
I offer a free initial consult, followed by a no-charge first session.
Scheduling frequency is up to you. Regular sessions can be really useful, especially at first, and these can occur at different intervals (e.g. weekly, biweekly, monthly). I’m also open to ad hoc scheduling.
Coordinating scheduling is done via email or text. You can reach me at crozier.anne@protonmail.com or (480) 290-2079.
