Staying Above Ground: How Ashley Alahakoon Is Integrating Faith and Mental Health with Trauma-Informed Spiritual Intervention®

“The training was awesome!” 

For Ashley Alahakoon, a certified provider in Trauma-Informed Spiritual Intervention®, those words aren’t just a compliment—they’re a reflection of a shift in how she serves, counsels, and ministers to those navigating life’s deepest wounds.

Ashley recently worked with a new client processing difficult family dynamics—specifically around boundaries and communication. While supporting him through a challenging situation, she found herself returning to a key strategy from the TISI course: Inquiry Based Direction.

“I remembered the importance of rerouting the conversation to explore how behavior connects to someone’s relationship with God,” Ashley shared. “When I used the questioning we were taught, he was able to gain real insight into the intentions behind his actions. That was huge.”

This kind of shift—from surface behavior to spiritual understanding—is exactly what Trauma-Informed Spiritual Intervention® was designed to facilitate. It’s not about replacing discipleship or clinical work, but about finding the delicate and intentional place where they meet.

Ashley puts it this way: “The course has been helping me avoid digging the hole of discipleship and stay above ground with counseling. There’s a line, and now I can walk it with care.”

Beyond the counseling room, she’s started having deeper conversations with her pastors about what happens after major spiritual encounters. “I’ve been talking about the need for aftercare following deliverance,” Ashley said. “It’s so important to process what someone experienced—especially if it was their first time. Without that care, people can leave changed but still confused. That’s where we come in.”

Ashley Alahakoon is part of a growing community of certified leaders helping reimagine what holistic healing can look like—where clinical care, faith, and spiritual formation no longer have to live in separate rooms.

And for her clients, that makes all the difference.
