Dana Essex, MA

Dana Essex PhD is a health psychologist and certified spiritual director guiding spiritual people to deeper meaning without regard to religion or faith, no matter where they find themselves on their journey. And Dana can because she has lived as both scientist/atheist and committed person of faith. She rests comfortably between doubt and faith, deeply interspiritual with the recognition that certainty is not her answer.

Dana’s expertise includes evidence-based positive psychology tools, contemplative practices, Heart Math, Enneagram, Examen, Centering Prayer, and all things self-care. She also guides the Extended Ignatian Exercises.

Dr. Essex is a Contemplative Practice Leader for the University of St. Catherine/Lilly Foundation Collaborative in Contemporary Discipleship grant.
