Abstract: The authors explore literature discussing increasing levels of anxiety and depression among young adults connected to struggles with meaning and purpose. The authors present the challenges of young adulthood as a developmental stage, highlighting the role that spiritual and religious exploration can occupy in counseling. Exploring the barriers counselors report to integrating spirituality into counseling, the authors propose counselors use the Ways Paradigm framework to support young adults with their spiritual wellness, giving examples of ways of understanding, ways of being, and ways of intervening for working with clients with diverse religious and spiritual beliefs. The authors conclude with a case study and share implications for counselor educators and clinical practitioners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
