Nature of Services

The Sacred Pause provides spiritual health and emotional support services. Kenny Solis is a Board Certified Spiritual Health Clinician with the Association of Professional Chaplains and a Doctor of Ministry candidate. He is trained in Clinical Pastoral Education and mental health support but is not a licensed therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker, or medical professional.

The services offered are spiritual care, chaplaincy, and emotional support—not psychotherapy, mental health treatment, or medical care. Sessions may include spiritual counseling, grief support, mindfulness practices, and exploration of questions related to meaning, purpose, and spirituality.

​

Not a Substitute for Medical Treatment

Spiritual health services do not replace professional mental health treatment, medical care, or crisis intervention. If you are currently in therapy or under medical care, I encourage you to continue those relationships. My services can complement but not replace licensed therapeutic or medical treatment.

​​

​

Crisis Support

If you are experiencing a mental health or medical emergency, please:

• Call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline)

• Call 911

• Go to your nearest emergency room

• Contact your primary care provider or therapist

 

The Sacred Pause does not provide 24/7 crisis support. Sessions are scheduled appointments and are not appropriate for urgent or emergency situations.

​​

​

Confidentiality

I respect your privacy and maintain confidentiality in accordance with professional chaplaincy standards. However, confidentiality has limits. I am required by law to break confidentiality in the following situations:

• Imminent danger: If you present a serious risk of harm to yourself or others

• Child abuse or neglect: Suspected abuse or neglect of a minor

• Elder or dependent adult abuse: Suspected abuse or neglect of a vulnerable adult

• Court order: If required by a valid court order or subpoena

 

Additionally, I may consult with professional supervisors or colleagues for clinical guidance while protecting your identity and personal information.

​

I do not:

• Guarantee specific outcomes or results

If sessions are conducted via video conferencing, please ensure you are in a private, quiet space where you feel comfortable discussing personal matters. Technology issues may occasionally disrupt sessions; we will reschedule if significant disruptions occur.
