About
Kelsey Dovico
Interfaith Spiritual Director
Building bridges across faith traditions.
From a young age, I have engaged with the teachings and practices of multiple faith traditions. I am deeply passionate about the universal Truth found within the diverse religious and spiritual practices across the world's Great Traditions. Indeed, interfaith spirituality is at the core of my identity.
My journey in Spiritual Direction began in adolescence, during a time of profound mental and emotional struggle. While therapy addressed some of these challenges, I sought additional support through a spiritual mentor. This relationship proved transformative, providing clarity and guiding me toward lasting change. Nearly two decades later, this sacred partnership continues to nourish my growth and is what ultimately inspired me to train as a Spiritual Director.
In 2025, I completed an 18-month Interfaith Spiritual Direction Certificate program at The Chaplaincy Institute. This experience equipped me with both the practical and personal skills to support individuals from all walks of life—across traditions, cultures, ages, orientations, and identities. I am especially skilled at working with people who...
-
Have an interfaith or eclectic spirituality
-
Are spiritually-seeking
-
Are navigating spiritual crisis or mystical experiences
-
Care about spirituality and mental health
Relating to the sacred is at the heart of who I am. It is from this core that I offer Spiritual Direction, walking alongside others in their pursuit of spiritual clarity and growth. As a Spiritual Director, I accompany seekers on their profound journey to deepen their connection with the Divine, provoking awareness, insight, and growth.
