About Us
Why We Built This
There is a quiet hunger growing in the Church. More people than ever are looking for spiritual direction — a trained companion who will walk alongside them as they listen for God in their everyday life. And yet, finding a director remains one of the most difficult searches a directee can undertake.
The gap between directees and directors is not a gap of supply. There are thousands of trained, credentialed spiritual directors across the United States and beyond. The gap is one of discovery. Directories that do exist are often outdated, difficult to search, or designed for insiders who already know what they are looking for. They assume knowledge that most directees do not have.
We built FindSpiritualDirector.com to close that gap.
What Makes This Directory Different
Filters That Make Sense
We designed every filter around how directees actually discern: by tradition, area of accompaniment, meeting format, fee range, and more. You do not need to already know what Ignatian means to find a director who practices it.
Vetting That Matters
Every director on this site has affirmed the Nicene Creed, holds recognized formation in spiritual direction, is currently receiving direction themselves, and has agreed to our Code of Accompaniment. We verify what matters.
Copy That Educates
Most people searching for spiritual direction do not yet know the vocabulary. Our site is written to meet directees where they are — explaining traditions, terminology, and expectations in plain language.
Search Built for Discernment
Finding a spiritual director is not like finding a plumber. It is a process of discernment. Our directory is designed to support that process — to help you explore, reflect, and choose with intention.
Our Commitment
We are committed to keeping this directory free for directors and directees alike. Spiritual direction should never be gated by a paywall, and neither should discovery.
We are committed to theological breadth within the bounds of historic Christian orthodoxy. Directors on this site come from Catholic, Protestant, Episcopal, Anglican, and ecumenical traditions — all united by their affirmation of the Nicene Creed and their dedication to the art of accompaniment.
We are committed to trust. Every profile is reviewed. Every director is vetted. This is not a marketplace. It is a ministry resource.
Who's Behind This
This directory was built by Joe Reed, founder of Exponent Group — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that builds tools for organizations doing good. Joe's own experience searching for a spiritual director revealed a gap: thousands of trained directors exist, but no trusted, vetted directory connected those searching with them. Find Spiritual Director was built to close that gap.
