CPA members have access to Hallow and the opportunity for content and research collaboration
CHICAGO, Feb. 12, 2025 – The Catholic Psychotherapy Association (CPA) is honored to partner with Hallow, recognizing the profound impact that integrating faith-based resources can have on member clinicians and the people they serve.
Hallow’s extensive library of prayer, meditation, and scriptural content offers a powerful tool for spiritual and emotional healing, complementing the therapeutic work of CPA members.
This partnership not only supports the growth and healing of clients through deepened spiritual engagement but also provides CPA members with invaluable resources for their own spiritual journey. By fostering both personal and professional spiritual development, Hallow equips clinicians to accompany their clients with greater depth and integration of faith.
“Hallow has been a transformative resource in my practice and personal prayer life,” said Shannon D. Mullen, Ph. D, CSAT-S, CPA president. “Clients struggling with anxiety, scrupulosity, loss, and spiritual dryness have found immense solace in guided prayers and meditations, and I have personally experienced a renewed depth in my own spiritual walk through Hallow’s amazing and diverse content.”
“In a world that is increasingly dominated by stress, anxiety, and a general sense of chaos, we could not be more excited to partner with the CPA in their development and promotion of mental health practices centered on an authentically Christian conception of living a full and fulfilled life,” said Alessandro DiSanto, Hallow co-founder. “Christ encourages us, ‘Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.’ (MT 11:28) Our hope with this partnership is to bring that message to as many people as possible, especially those currently suffering from mental health issues and those ministering to them.”

As part of the extended partnership, Hallow will work with CPA experts in various fields to co-develop custom, faith-centric content on social and emotional health areas. This content will be exclusively available in the Hallow app and include a mix of educational and experiential content.
Finally, Hallow plans to collaborate with the CPA on an RFP process among members for projects seeking to advance research into the behavioral effects of prayer and other spiritual practices on both mental and spiritual health. Resulting efforts will be reviewed for publication in Integratus, the Journal of the Catholic Psychotherapy Association.
