Spiritual Abuse Recovery and Counseling Services

  • Spiritual abuse leaves spiritual scars. We are never more vulnerable than when we share our spiritual selves with another. Unfortunately, all too often, authority that claims to represent God is used to wound God's beloved children. At AspenRoots, we customize a mix of Brief Therapy counseling with spiritual coaching to help you move towards healing after your painful experiences with spiritual abuse.
  • Along with other traditional counseling methods and medical care, we believe that spiritual counseling is integral to living your healthiest and most joyful life as you navigate life's challenges including: Depression, Anxiety, or other mental health issues.

End-of-Life Work

 "It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens." 

  • Woody Allen's famously pithy quote is a fairly accurate picture of how many of us view our inevitable death. We know that we are mortal and that this earthly life is limited, but many of us would rather not think about death and dying at all. While understandable, neglecting the work of end-of-life planning robs us of the opportunity to reflect on the fleeting, precious nature of our days. It also places a difficult and painful burden on our loved ones as they try to fulfill unsaid wishes in the midst of mourning. 
  • At AspenRoots, we can guide you through the practical, yet emotional work of medical advance directives and memorial planning and help you celebrate the joy and peace that often comes with such work! Whether you are planning ahead or in crisis mode, on your own or seeking to educate a group, we can help.

About Us

Chaplain, Celebrant, and Counselor Shari Otteman wearing large green glasses, a scarf and coat.

Who is Aspen Roots?

Shari Otteman founded Aspen Roots Christian Counseling and Chaplaincy Services after working as a healthcare chaplain for Centura hospitals and hospice. Shari learned the important work of helping families grieve through numerous memorial services and continues that work as a celebrant.  In hospitals and hospice beds, Shari met hundreds of patients who shared heartbreaking stories of spiritual and religious abuse. Unfortunately, in her role as a healthcare chaplain she lacked the opportunity to offer continuing care to these hurting people. From this longing, Aspen Roots was born.
