Welcome to Your Soul Path, the website of
AnnE O’Neil, LCSWA/LCASA
Somewhere around a quarter century ago, I was introduced to the value of identifying a personal mission statement.
The one I developed at that time still stands today:
“To offer healing and inspiration to individuals so they may step into lives of consciousness, joy, and meaning.”
While the mission has stayed the same, today my primary work is that of a therapist, grief counselor, and spiritual counselor. I am also venturing into group work with a new program entitled Women who Age with Soul.

People come into therapy for a variety of different stated reasons. Yet the core of it is that healing needs to happen, healing of one’s heart and soul. This brings me to my favorite definition of healing from Rachel Naomi Remen. “Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you - all of the expectations, all of the beliefs - and becoming who you are.”
There is probably no time in our lives when it is more important to be supported by an understanding person than when we are in the throes of grief. Unfortunately it's also hard to reach out when we are feeling so raw and vulnerable. Even when we do reach out, others can be awkward and insensitive. As a helping professional that has experienced my own losses, I offer the perfect balance of deep listening, hope, and assurance.
In our world today, it takes support to listen to our hearts and follow the guidance of our soul. Spiritual counseling can offer that support. Less directive than coaching and more heart-centered than therapy, spiritual counseling is an invitation to exploration, authenticity, and a whole-hearted life. Although helpful at any time, people often find spiritual counseling to be a lifeline in times of transition and during dark nights of the soul.
“Four years ago I was blessed to meet AnnE after unexpectedly losing my mother and grandmother within 3 weeks of each other. I was literally at the lowest point of my life and I did not think I would survive it - and honestly a big part of me didn’t even want to survive. But AnnE was there for me through it all. Week after week she met with me in person or by zoom and patiently helped me learn to live with my grief.
In the process she also helped me address many of the challenges that were holding me back in other areas of my life including my career and finances. Before I met AnnE I was a lifelong “underearner”. She helped me to realize this, understand why, and coached me through the changes I needed to make to take my life to the next level.
Today although I still miss my mother and grandmother everyday and I know I always will, because of my sessions with AnnE I am much better able to manage my grief and honor my love for them. I am also now a 6 figure earner and a C suite level executive at my firm.
AnnE has been my grief counselor, therapist, spiritual companion, career coach, and a source of constant support since the day I met her. She is an angel on earth and I will be forever grateful to her for all she’s done and continues to do for me.”
