Psycho-Spiritual Mentorship
Psycho-Spiritual Mentorship is a holistic approach to personal growth that integrates psychological principles with spiritual exploration. It is designed to help individuals address emotional traumas, develop self-awareness, and cultivate inner healing through both practical and spiritual practices.
This form of mentorship guides people in understanding their inherent goodness, fostering authenticity, and embracing radical self-accountability. It emphasizes emotional and spiritual practices tailored to each person’s unique journey, encouraging sustainable personal growth and deeper connection to the world around them.
Rather than offering fixed promises, Psycho-Spiritual Mentorship invites participants to engage actively in their own wellness journey. Through reflective conversation, creative expression, and spiritual guidance, this process opens pathways for healing, personal empowerment, and meaningful transformation.
Sessions can be individual or for couples and families, taking place in person or virtually, and are designed to create lasting change in a supportive, compassionate environment.

About Lacee
Lacee Dilmore has been dedicated to the field of mental health since 2007, beginning her career at just 21 years old. She started at Passages Malibu, a mental health and addiction treatment center, where she was promoted twice during her seven years there. While working at Passages, she pursued her studies to become a licensed marriage and family therapist (MFT).
In 2015, Lacee transitioned to Acadia Malibu (now Oro House) as a primary therapist, where she also helped cultivate a culture of love, fun, and respect that drew clients to the program. It was at Acadia that Lacee deepened her understanding of her strengths and discovered her passion for service work. Her intuition, ethics, creativity, and boundless compassion became the cornerstones of her success in mental health and addiction treatment.
In 2017, Lacee left Acadia and co-founded Good Heart Recovery, an intensive outpatient program in Santa Barbara, with her partner Jaymee Carpenter. As both clinical director and primary therapist, she played a key role in daily operations while working closely with clients. Around the same time, Lacee became a licensed MFT. After three years at Good Heart, she decided to pursue a private practice in 2020, having gathered invaluable insights into the most effective and sustainable methods for healing.
Through her professional and personal experiences, Lacee recognized that cultivating a spiritual relationship with oneself and the world is the most powerful pathway to healing.
Her private practice has since evolved into a unique specialty she calls “psycho-spiritual mentorship,” where she blends her deep therapeutic knowledge with spiritual guidance. Far beyond her professional accomplishments, Lacee is known for her dynamic approach—spacious, playful, and profound. Her life is a devotion to spiritual practice and service, offering an experience that is truly one-of-a-kind.
How do sessions work?
In Psycho-Spiritual Mentorship, sessions are typically structured to provide a safe and supportive space for deep reflection, healing, and personal growth. Here’s how the sessions generally work:
Initial Consultation: The process usually begins with a free consultation (often around 20 minutes) to ensure a good fit between the mentor and the participant. This allows both parties to explore the participant’s needs and goals and establish whether the mentorship approach aligns with those objectives.
What is the Session Structure?
Storytelling and Exploration: Each session often starts with a deep dive into the participant’s life story, current challenges, or specific issues they want to address. The mentor listens with compassion and offers fresh perspectives on past experiences, helping participants reframe situations in a healthier light.
Spiritual and Emotional Practices: Based on the conversation, the mentor may introduce practical spiritual or emotional exercises tailored to the participant’s needs. These could include mindfulness techniques, meditation, self-reflection, journaling, or creative practices.
Self-Accountability and Empowerment: A key focus of the sessions is helping participants develop radical self-accountability. The mentor works with the participant to foster a sense of empowerment, encouraging personal responsibility in their healing and growth process.
Between Sessions: Participants are often given spiritual or emotional practices to work on between sessions. These practices are designed to be simple yet powerful tools for everyday life, helping individuals integrate the lessons from their mentorship into their daily routines.
Long-Term Engagement: While sessions can be targeted to specific issues, many people engage in long-term mentorship for sustained personal growth and ongoing support. Sessions may be weekly or bi-weekly, depending on the participant’s needs.
Flexible Formats: Sessions can be conducted in person or virtually (via Zoom), offering flexibility for participants regardless of location. Some mentors also provide immersive, long-term sessions for more intensive support.
Overall, the aim is to create a nourishing environment where individuals can explore their emotional and spiritual selves, cultivate deeper awareness, and move towards a more authentic and sustainable way of being.
What are potential outcomes of sessions?
Psycho-Spiritual Mentorship can lead to a variety of transformative outcomes, depending on the individual’s unique needs and journey. Some potential outcomes include:
Emotional Healing: Participants may experience deep emotional healing, releasing past traumas or unresolved emotions. The mentorship can help them process grief, anger, fear, or other emotions in a healthy way, allowing for a sense of closure and peace.
Increased Self-Awareness: Through guided self-reflection, participants often gain greater clarity about their thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns. This heightened self-awareness can lead to more intentional decision-making and healthier responses to life’s challenges.
Spiritual Growth: Many people discover or deepen their spiritual connection through this process, whether through meditation, mindfulness, or other spiritual practices. Participants often gain a stronger sense of purpose and meaning in their lives, feeling more aligned with their values and beliefs.
Radical Self-Acceptance: A core outcome is learning to trust oneself and embrace one’s inherent worth. Participants often report a reduction in feelings of inadequacy, shame, or self-doubt, leading to greater confidence and a more compassionate relationship with themselves.
Improved Relationships: The personal growth fostered in these sessions often translates to improved relationships with others. Participants may develop better communication skills, more empathy, and a deeper capacity for love and connection in their interactions with friends, family, and partners.
Tools for Coping: The mentorship provides practical emotional and spiritual tools that participants can use in their daily lives to manage stress, anxiety, and other challenges. These tools can help create more resilience and balance in navigating life’s uncertainties.
Empowerment and Accountability: Participants often feel empowered to take control of their personal growth and healing. With a focus on radical self-accountability, they develop a sense of ownership over their well-being and are encouraged to make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives.
Creative Expression and Joy: Some individuals experience an awakening of their creative potential or rediscover joy in everyday life. The mentorship encourages playful exploration of one’s inner self, which can lead to a renewed sense of vitality and creativity.
Holistic Well-Being: Ultimately, the goal is a more integrated sense of well-being—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Participants often feel more balanced, centered, and connected, not just to themselves but to the world around them.
These outcomes can vary, but the overarching aim is to support participants in leading more authentic, fulfilling, and spiritually grounded lives.
