As a board certified chaplain I began my journey to certification by completing four units of College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy. Though I agree that there might seem to be difficulty between spirituality and mental health professions I do not believe that it is negative. (If this is what you are asking?)

I am trained to understand that every person lives a spirituality (even if not religious) and everyone needs to care for their mental health. There can be times when the two combine in a manner that a spiritual psychotherapist or a pastoral counselor can benefit the patient that would not be approved for behavioral counseling.

Mental health is related to science, while spirituality and religion are subjective experiences, related to philosophy. As a consequence, the quality of the relationship between them and mental health is entirely up to the quality of the person who takes charge of the connection. This means that, if the spiritual or religious person has good connections and competence with philosophy and criticism, on one side, and science, which means mainly medicine and psichology, on the other side, then a good experience will happen in the relationship between religion, spirituality and mental health. If, instead, the religious or spiritual person is ignorant or fanatic about philosophy, criticism and science, then the relationship between religion, spirituality and mental health can be useless or even devastating.
