Spiritual psychology acknowledges that there are different layers of consciousness: the subconscious layers, the conscious layers and the superconscious layers. It offers a comprehensive framework for a mental health professional to look at a person holistically and help him/her in the evolution of consciousness. A spiritually-oriented psychologist diagnoses and treats abnormal psychological states, offers necessary support and encouragement for the conscious psyche to reach a perfected state and continues to guide it in the realm of spirituality and mysticism so that it blossoms into a superconscious state.
