The Spiritually Curious Therapist
The Spiritually Curious Therapist podcast is an exploration of the intersection between spirituality and healing in the context of psychotherapy and other healing arts practices. Hosted by Jodi Silverman, Psychotherapist, Reiki Practitioner and Consciousness Guide. Jodi is wildly curious about the human journey towards wholeness and seeks to understand all the ways in which human beings learn, heal and grow. Each episode will dive into conversations with fellow therapists, spiritual teachers and thought leaders with a few solo episodes interspersed with the goal of exploring how the therapist's spiritual practice impacts their identity as a healer.

Walking Into the Room Like You Belong: Integrating Holistic Practices into Therapy with LeNaya Smith Crawford, LMFT
In this episode of The Spiritually Curious Therapist, I sit down with the inspiring LeNaya Smith Crawford, licensed therapist, holistic educator, business mentor, sound healer, and founder of the Holistic Therapist Academy.
LeNaya shares her journey of weaving together clinical expertise, ancestral wisdom, and somatic/spiritual practices to create a truly holistic approach to mental health. From navigating the pressure of “staying in your lane” to reclaiming authenticity in the therapy room, she offers both practical insights and soulful reminders for therapists and healers.
Together, we explore:
- Why authenticity is non-negotiable in healing work
- How to ethically and confidently integrate holistic modalities into clinical practice
- The impact of colonization and code-switching on self-expression and burnout
- Trauma-informed facilitation and the importance of autonomy and safety
- The role of community healing alongside individual therapy
- The vision behind the Holistic Therapist Academy and the upcoming Holistic Therapist Conference
Whether you’re a therapist, healer, or seeker, this conversation will expand your perspective on what it means to show up fully—and walk into every room like you were sent there.
