Where is Jesus in the Room?
Integrating Inner Healing Prayer with Evidence-Based Trauma Therapy
Can faith-based inner healing prayer and evidence-based clinical psychology coexist in the therapy room?
At Integrate You, our research focuses on bridging the gap between spiritual care and clinical science - demonstrating how experiential encounters with God can accelerate trauma recovery, emotional regulation, and deep psychological wholeness.
In this conference research presentation, Dr. Kharma Parker joins co-founders Emma Rose Klinger and Lisa Roseman to present empirical foundations, clinical case studies, and practical integration models that bring Christian inner healing prayer alongside top evidence-based trauma modalities like individual therapy with Internal Family Systems (IFS) and group Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).

Dr. Parker is the owner of Elemental Counseling, LLC and an IFS Institute Approved Clinical Consultant & Certified IFS Therapist.
Her doctoral dissertation, A Clinical N of 1 Time Series on the Efficacy of Internal Family Systems and Christian Inner Healing Prayer with Adult Survivors of Childhood Trauma (chaired by Dr. Fernando Garzon), stands as a pioneering empirical study on combining IFS with Christian Inner Healing Prayer (CIHP) models like Theophostic and Immanuel Approach.
In this research presentation session at the 2025 Christian Association of Psychological Sciences in Denver, CO titled “Where is Jesus in the Room? Integrating Inner Healing Prayer with Trauma Therapy,” Dr. Parker demonstrates how inviting Christ directly into parts-based trauma processing allows clients to safely unburden protective exile parts, resolve internal conflicts, and replace deeply rooted trauma lies with divine truth.

Integrate You
Research Partnerships
Integrate You was founded in part to support spiritually integrative trauma research. In partnership with faith-based university counseling centers in Southern California, Integrate You has helped resource attachment and trauma-focused group therapy for Christian students that was collaboratively co-facilitated by therapists and spiritual directors under the supervision of licensed clinical psychologists.
The attachment and trauma-focused group was approved by the following Institutional Review Boards for data collection:
Fuller Theological Seminary School of Psychology
Vanguard University
We welcome research partnerships with more university and college counseling centers desiring to train their therapists and counselors, along with local spiritual directors and pastors, for delivery of this collaborative spiritually integrative and directive therapy.
