Diversity of Faith Traditions

Our staff consultation group has been talking about spirituality and religion, and how faith issues impact both our clients' lives and psychotherapy, and it occurred to me to make a list of all the different faith traditions we've welcomed here at Willow in the last 4 years. I was amazed at the diversity, especially because we practice in a suburban area that on the surface seems anything but diverse. Take a look (in alphabetical order), though know that we've left out a couple very small religions in the interest of protecting our clients' confidentiality, as well as many people who consider themselves "spiritual but not religious":
