How To Find A Good Witchy Therapist
Finding the right therapist can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack, especially when you’re a spiritual seeker or a witchy soul. The journey isn’t just about finding someone with the right credentials; it’s about finding someone who actually gets you, someone who won’t raise an eyebrow when you mention your tarot deck or full moon rituals. You’re looking for a therapist who sees your spirituality as a strength, not something to be ‘explained away.’
A good therapist can hold space for both your emotional healing and your spiritual growth. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood in a traditional therapy setting, this guide is for you. Let’s explore what to look for when seeking a witchy therapist.
1. Look for Someone Who Respects Spirituality
A lot of therapists say they’re open-minded, but that doesn’t always mean they truly respect spiritual practices. Some might view your rituals, astrology, or energy work as a coping mechanism rather than valid parts of your healing journey. That’s why it’s so important to find someone who won’t make you feel like you have to justify your beliefs.
Signs they respect spirituality:
They ask about your spiritual beliefs without judgment.
They acknowledge that healing happens on multiple levels, mind, body, and soul.
They integrate holistic approaches, such as mindfulness, shadow work, or energy psychology.
They don’t dismiss tarot, astrology, or energy healing but instead ask how these practices support you.
2. Seek Out Holistic or Depth-Oriented Therapists
Therapists who take a holistic or depth-oriented approach are often a good fit for spiritual seekers. These therapists understand that healing isn’t just about surface-level changes. It's about going deep and making peace with your whole self. Depth psychology, Jungian therapy, and transpersonal therapy focus on the unconscious, symbols, archetypes, and soul work - approaches that can resonate with witchy folks.
Spiritually-oriented modalities include:
Jungian therapy – Works with archetypes, dreams, and the unconscious.
Transpersonal therapy – Blends psychology and spirituality.
Gestalt therapy – Encourages self-awareness and present-moment exploration.
Psychosynthesis – Recognises the different ‘parts’ of you and works toward inner harmony.
Somatic therapy – Helps you process emotions through the body, which can be powerful for energy-sensitive people.
3. Check Their Website and Social Media
A therapist’s online presence can give you a lot of insight into whether they align with your needs. Look for therapists who openly discuss spirituality, holistic healing, or alternative approaches in a way that feels natural and welcoming. For example they might talk about shadow work, intuitive healing, or practices like dream analysis. On the other hand, red flags might include dismissive language around spirituality or a purely clinical approach that leaves no room for spiritual beliefs.
Signs you may have found a good fit:
They talk about spirituality in a way that feels inclusive.
Their language is free of judgment and respectful of different spiritual paths.
They offer approaches that resonate with you like dreamwork, energy healing, or soul-centred therapy.
4. Ask the Right Questions in a Consultation
Most therapists offer a free consultation to see if you’re a good match. This is your chance to ask direct questions and feel out their energy. You don’t have to justify your beliefs or convince anyone that your spirituality matters.
Questions to ask:
How do you integrate spirituality into therapy?
Do you have experience working with spiritual or witchy clients?
How do you view practices like tarot, astrology, or energy work in the context of mental health?
What are your thoughts on shadow work and healing from a soul perspective?
Notice how they respond. Are they curious and open, or do they seem dismissive? Trust your gut. A good therapist for you will make you feel understood and respected.
5. Trust Your Intuition
One of the most important things in finding a therapist is trusting your own intuition. Therapy is deeply personal, and the right fit should feel good in your bones. If something feels off, if you feel like you have to hide, censor yourself, or explain your spirituality in a way that doesn’t feel right, keep looking. The right therapist is out there.
Signs you may have found the right therapist:
You feel seen and heard without having to over-explain.
You feel comfortable sharing your spiritual side.
Their approach aligns with your healing journey.
6. Be Open to Online Therapy
If you’re struggling to find a local therapist who aligns with your beliefs, consider online therapy. Websites like Liberatory Wellness Network or Inclusive Therapists offer directories that allow you to filter for therapists who integrate spirituality and holistic approaches. You can also explore community forums or social media groups where others might share recommendations for spiritually oriented therapists.
7. What If You Can’t Find the Perfect Fit?
The reality is, the ‘perfect’ therapist might not exist, and that’s okay. Sometimes, finding a therapist who respects your beliefs, even if they don’t fully understand them, is enough. You can still do meaningful healing work with someone who is open, curious, and willing to learn about your spiritual path. The most important thing is that they respect you and your experiences.
8. Therapy Is Relational. Give It Time.
Once you find a therapist who feels like a good fit, give the process some time. Therapy isn’t about instant results. It’s a relationship that deepens over time. If something feels off, talk to your therapist about it. If they’re a good match, they’ll listen and work with you to adjust their approach.
You Deserve a Therapist Who Honours Your Whole Self
Finding the right therapist isn’t just about their degrees. It’s about whether they make you feel safe, seen, and supported. You deserve someone who won’t make you feel weird for being your full, magickal self. Trust yourself in the search. The right therapist for you is out there.
