“I offer soul-centered, trauma-informed therapy rooted in Jungian psychology, Mindfulness-based approaches, Psychedelic Integration and spiritual wisdom. I walk alongside those navigating religious trauma, relationship change, and life’s deeper questions.” I’m Richard Thomas, founder and clinical director of Spirit of Sonora Counseling and Wellness. My work as a therapist arises from a lifelong journey through spiritual seeking, relational transformation, and personal reckoning. I know firsthand what it means to walk through a dark night of the soul—a season of profound depression, grief, and loss of identity. It was this experience that clarified my commitment to healing and deepened my calling to help others find their way home to themselves. My approach to therapy is grounded in Jungian psychology, mindfulness-based interventions, and a trauma-informed lens. Like Jung, I believe that many mental health struggles are spiritual in origin. True healing, therefore, is not simply about managing symptoms—it’s about recovering meaning, reconnecting with your inner wisdom, and living in alignment with your values and purpose. I hold space with full acceptance and reverence for each client’s unique story. I honor the intersecting identities, cultural backgrounds, and belief systems that shape your experience, and I work collaboratively with you to co-create an individualized path forward. Our work together may involve exploring unconscious patterns, releasing outdated systems of belief, and cultivating a renewed relationship to self, others, and the Earth. My clinical work focuses on helping clients: Heal from religious and relational trauma Navigate complex life transitions and shifting relationships Rediscover meaning and vitality amid disillusionment Break intergenerational patterns and cultural wounds Reclaim their spiritual path and inner truth This work is more than a profession for me—it’s an expression of devotion. Alongside my role as a therapist, I am a father, husband, helper, and friend. I hold a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Westminster College (2014), and I bring to my practice a longstanding passion for mythology, spiritual traditions, Eastern and Western philosophy, and indigenous healing frameworks. In my view, real transformation occurs when we face our wounds not as enemies to be eliminated, but as sacred invitations to become who we truly are. I am honored to walk alongside those ready to step into that journey.
