Psychotherapy Spiritual Direction
Life is hard. If you struggle with anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, the life altering effects of abuse; or as an estranged parent of an adult child, I can help you find hope and peace again.

Spiritual direction is an ancient practice within the Christian tradition going back before the early church. It’s now making a comeback in ecumenical circles and contemporary life.
In a nutshell spiritual direction is about coming closer to God and discerning the Divine Presence; companioning and guiding us in life’s circumstances. We learn to be still in the center and listen deeply seeing more clearly wise choices.
As a trained Spiritual Director and an Oblate of St Benedict, I am a seasoned guide on your quest. Together we will attune ourselves to God and listen deeply to what the Sacred is saying.
About
Approach
A practitioner of holistic psychotherapy, Beverly cares about the body, mind and spirit. Seasoned with over 20 years of experience she is eclectic weaving together Cognitive Behavioral techniques with narrative therapy and family systems alongside spiritually sensitive Mindfulness. Credentialed as a psychotherapist and Spiritual Director, she offers both these services and views them as two separate disciplines: “While I am present to both these professions whenever I am in the room, I have come to honor each as distinct disciplines that offer complimentary paths toward well-being.”
Non judgmental, she creates a climate of acceptance, safety and trust. Collaborative in approach, she invites clients to step back and see a Bigger Sky from which to target problems, craft a game plan and learn skills and strategies that last long after therapy ends cultivating hope and peace.
Background
Following the completion of her Master’s degree in counseling from Salem State University and Masters in Divinity from Andover Newton, Beverly earned a Doctorate in pastoral counseling from Louisville Presbyterian Seminary. Focusing her work on healthy boundaries she developed the workshop entitled “Healthy Boundaries: Being Defined But Staying Connected,” presenting it cross-country to churches, seminaries and faith based organizations. As an adjunct she also taught courses at Louisville Seminary and Fuller Seminary. Awarded the Help for Abused Women and Children award in MA (2002), she went on to serve on the Attorney General’s Survivors Council in KY followed by an appointed to the Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Board for the Commonwealth by Governor Andy Beshear (2017-2022).
Currently she has returned to her home near Boston and has a private practice in psychotherapy and Spiritual Direction in Westford, Massachusetts. An Oblate shaped by Benedictine spirituality, she writes a quarterly column for the Oblate Magazine of St Meinrad’s Archabbey in Indiana.
Reviews
“Throughout the course of my sessions with Dr. Weinhold, I discovered how to recognize and name my feelings after a lifetime of avoidance which was huge for me. She helped me find my self worth that was buried under years of negative thinking. Her gentle reminders of God’s presence in my life has led me to a much deeper desire to enhance my spiritual journey with prayer and meditation.”
-Former Client
“I saw Dr. Weinhold after a divorce and she was most helpful. I have emerged with a firm sense of self, the ability to set and enforce boundaries, and much deeper understanding of the life events that have shaped me. Dr. Weinhold is a unique therapist in her ability to integrate psychological and theological theories to address the emotional and spiritual dimensions of life.”
-Former Client, http://www.alltherapist.com/dr-beverly-weinhold-re…
“Her knowledge and skills in understanding and addressing the impact or traumatic experiences on both a family/community and individual level far exceeds most, if not all, of the professionals I know in the Louisville area. She has an unparalleled understanding and skills related to integrating spiritual beliefs and practices into her therapeutic relationships.”
-Sam Stoghill, PsyD. St. Luke Center, Louisville
“In the last decade she has networked effectively and established an excellent reputation in the area as a therapist, presenter and social advocate…I invited her to be a guest speaker in my classes at seminary; she consistently did an outstanding job…I have also heard from area pastors that she offered the best boundary training workshop that they had ever attended.”
