About Don Mulford

---

Whether you have a faith tradition or are "spiritual but not religious," Don specializes in "coming alongside" people as they grapple with the lack of peace and angst that these days bring. He understands deeply the disconnect one feels in our spirit from the anxieties of not knowing what to do or where the answers are, when we feel alone.

Don provides safety and warmth in a relaxed environment to talk it over and find peace.  We need listeners or "soul friends" to skillfully and comfortably come with us to find our healing and wholeness. 

Don is one of these. His unique life experience and training makes him one of the people who can bring about the relief we yearn for. He knows crisis. He understands counseling. He has suffered. He has facilitated spiritual growth and healing. He has journeyed into his own depths. He knows that we often are aware of the yearning in our spirits, that we know we are spiritual, yet cannot find a way. whether through a faith tradition or not, to understand the way "home." Don does. 

Don has experience as a counselor from serving as a spiritual counselor in hospice work and as a pastoral counselor when working as an ordained minister, for over 20 years. Also, he was a director of a mediation service so has extensive conflict resolution experience in small and large disputes. Earlier, he practiced law as a licensed attorney in California, for the federal and state governments, and private law firms. Additionally he worked in politics as a legislative assistant.

He suffered from non-Hodgkins lymphoma for a decade, which included a bone marrow transplant, but has had no recurrence for 15 years.

He has a family with his wife and several adult children and a dozen grandchildren.
