What are Remote Spiritual Directors?

Remote Spiritual Directors are trained professionals who provide spiritual guidance, support, and companionship to individuals through virtual means such as video calls, phone calls, or messaging. Their role is to help people explore their faith, deepen their spiritual lives, and navigate life’s challenges from a spiritual perspective. Sessions are typically confidential and personalized to meet the unique needs and beliefs of each individual, regardless of religious tradition. Remote Spiritual Directors are often certified or have undergone specialized training in spiritual direction, and they adhere to ethical standards that ensure respect and confidentiality.

How does a Remote Spiritual Director typically structure sessions and maintain meaningful connections with clients virtually?

Remote Spiritual Directors often use video conferencing platforms to conduct sessions, ensuring privacy and a supportive atmosphere. Sessions are typically scheduled weekly or biweekly, and directors may supplement meetings with email check-ins or reflective exercises. Building trust and genuine connection remotely requires intentional listening and clear communication, as well as adaptability to various technologies and client preferences. Directors also often engage in ongoing supervision or peer support groups to enhance their practice and maintain accountability.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Spiritual Director, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Spiritual Director, you need a deep grounding in spiritual or theological studies, relevant training in spiritual direction, and often a certification from a recognized program or association. Familiarity with secure video conferencing platforms and digital communication tools is essential for conducting remote sessions. Exceptional listening skills, empathy, and the ability to offer non-judgmental guidance help build trust and rapport with clients. These skills and qualities are crucial for providing meaningful spiritual support and fostering personal growth in a virtual environment.

Both roles require pastoral or spiritual credentials, but Chaplains typically need specialized certification for institutional work.

Director of Therapeutic Care and Formation (part time/remote)

Seeds Wilderness Therapy

Montrose, CO • On-site, Remote

Part-time

Re-posted 11 days ago

Job description

Applicant Letter (job description below)
Cover letter with more information will be sent upon receipt of application or upon request by emailing heather.m@seedswildernessway.org.
Director of Therapeutic Care and Formation
Seeds Wilderness Way (formerly Seeds Wilderness Therapy)
The Invitation
Seeds Wilderness Way is seeking a spiritually mature and clinically experienced leader to guide transformation and restoration in the lives of teens, families, and ministry leaders. This is not a standard clinical role. We are looking for a partner who bridges professional therapeutic excellence with deep, Spirit-led ministry-someone who longs to advance the Kingdom of God rather than secular modalities.
Our ideal candidate is a Clinical Shepherd who brings high-level training under the submission of the Holy Spirit, shaping both the spiritual and clinical culture of Seeds.
About Seeds Wilderness Way
Seeds Wilderness Way uses wilderness expeditions and community-based discipleship to accelerate spiritual formation and healing. We seek to serve a diverse population-at-risk youth, parents, community leaders, youth pastors, missionaries, and families in crisis. While our flagship offering is a 40-day backcountry expedition for teens, our ministry extends far beyond that single program to include:
  • 40-Day Wilderness Expeditions for teens (Retreat-Restore-Revive model)
  • Parenting Workshops at diverse or home locations across the country
  • Parent and Family Intensives, a 4 day seminar for repair/prevention of deeper issues
  • Spiritual Development for Ministry Workers and Missionaries
  • 3 Year Aftercare Follow-Up Programs, helping build transformational relationships for long term restoration
  • Community-Based Discipleship & Church Partnerships

The ideal candidate will seek to advance the Kingdom of God, utilizing secular therapy models to increase understanding and treatment under the Lordship of Christ. Many of our clientele are coming in with previous diagnoses, complex traumas, and/or mental health disorders. Therefore, we honor clinical understanding, but we prioritize Kingdom approaches-prayer, scripture, spiritual disciplines, and identity formation in Jesus-over the standard "assess-diagnose-treat" model.
The Role
You will serve as a key restoration leader shaping both the spiritual and clinical DNA of Seeds. The role is primarily remote, with strategic travel to Colorado for field engagement, leadership meetings, and relational connection with staff and students.
You will operate at the intersection of:
  • Spiritual authority
  • Clinical oversight
  • Organizational leadership
  • Regulatory compliance

You will report directly to the Executive Director and work closely with the Field Director, primary therapists, and pastoral staff.
The Ideal Candidate: Spiritual DNA
  • Deep intimacy with Jesus and a life led by the Holy Spirit.
  • Believes experiential learning in the wilderness is a more powerful teacher than traditional talk therapy.
  • Alignment with the principles of Soul Care (Reimer), Breakthrough (Warner), and/or Living from the Heart Jesus Gave You (Wilder).
  • Recognizes the relational roles that biological family, adoptive family (legal or spiritual adoption), the Church, and the community play in transformation.
  • Ability to hear from God and lead with spiritual authority.
  • Adheres to Elder standards as described in 1 Timothy and Titus and as understood in the Life Model stages of maturity.

Key Responsibilities
-Spiritual & Strategic Leadership
  • Lead subordinates with spiritual authority, prayer, discernment, and a Kingdom mindset.
  • Shape the spiritual and clinical culture of the organization.
  • Participate in leadership strategy sessions, planning, and decision-making.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the board's leadership and the organization's other leaders, engaging with them in a posture of mutual relational submission.

-Admissions & Client Vetting
  • Oversee the admissions pipeline, evaluating clinical fit and making acceptance or referral decisions.

-Program Development & Field Engagement
  • Develop and implement curriculum for students, parents, and ministry leaders. This may also include contribution to the staff manual and training materials.
  • Support and/or supervise on site therapists. On site therapists will in turn disciple and shepherd students in the field and/or mom and dad at home.
  • Lead or contribute to clinical meetings, in-service trainings, webinars, and situational teaching engagements.
  • Support communication with parents through partnership with the parent coordinator.
  • Be onsite in Colorado for strategic trips to facilitate ministry or leadership engagements. This may include a mid-course parent week, training, or graduation ceremony. Additional conferences or key strategic events can be discussed

-Oversight & Compliance: Spiritual & Clinical
  • Review and approve all treatment plans, ensuring discipleship objectives, SMART goals and state licensing requirements are met.
  • Ensure Seeds adheres to evidence-based therapeutic practices while integrating Christ-centered ministry.
  • Maintain documentation compliance with Colorado DHS childcare facility regulations.
  • Monitor progress using tools such as YOQ and other outcome measures.
  • Oversee the professional development of the staff, both from a spiritual shepherding and clinical perspective.

Professional Qualifications
  • Master's-level training (LMFT, LPC, LCSW, or equivalent seminary counseling degree).
  • Licensed or license-eligible in Colorado (required).
  • Ability to supervise LPC or LMFT is preferred.
  • 3-5 years of clinical experience preferred.
  • Experience with trauma, addiction, identity work, and complex family systems.
  • Meets and maintains biblical elder standards.
  • Loves the wilderness and understands its transformative power.

Work Expectations
  • Minimum of 10 hours/week for part-time;
  • Weekly video meetings, including:
    • 1:1 with the Executive Director
    • Level 10 leadership meetings
    • Weekly clinical meetings (with additional supervision hours potentially to follow).
  • Flexibility for webinars, trainings, and occasional travel.
  • Keep up with emails, phone calls, and/or other professional correspondence (i.e. admissions updates).
  • Primarily remote with strategic trips to Colorado for relational and programmatic impact.

Why Join Seeds Wilderness Way?
  • Impact: Move beyond symptom management into true identity restoration in Jesus.
  • Community: Join a team that values prayer, discipleship, and the presence of God as the primary change agent.
  • Calling: Step into a role that blends clinical excellence with Spirit-led ministry.
  • Flexibility: Work remotely while staying deeply connected to wilderness transformation.
