The Spiritually Curious Therapist
The Spiritually Curious Therapist is a podcast exploring the intersection of nervous system science, mental health, spirituality, and healing.
Hosted by Jodi Silverman, LCSW, this show is for therapists, healers, and curious humans who sense that true healing happens below the level of insight alone. Through thoughtful conversations and solo reflections, we explore trauma, chronic pain and illness, altered states, regulation, meaning-making, and what it really takes to help the nervous system feel safe enough to change.
This is a space for grounded mysticism, where evidence-based practice meets soul-level wisdom, and where healing is approached with curiosity, compassion, and respect for the body’s innate intelligence.
Whether you’re a clinician expanding beyond talk therapy or someone on your own healing path, this podcast invites you to listen differently — to symptoms, to stories, and to what’s asking to be integrated.

Walking Into the Room Like You Belong: Integrating Holistic Practices into Therapy with LeNaya Smith Crawford, LMFT
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
