Clergy members are among the most sought out individuals for multiple types of assistance to the communities they serve, including spiritual, marital, and individual counseling, parenting advice, financial advice and assistance, to name a few. (Weaver, A., Larson, D., Flannelly, K., & Stapleton, C., 2002). In conjunction with the services they provide to their communities, they are also responsible for the spiritual well-being of their congregations through teaching, preaching and pastoring as well as being an active part of their own families. The various responsibilities that clergy members provide could negatively affect their own mental health. Clergy members' mental health has become a hot button issue, as there has been an increase in clergy members resigning their positions and leaving the church due to poor mental health (Gallagher, D., 2017). Clergy members, historically, have had limited access to mental health services. The purpose of this interpretive phenomenological analysis was to understand the lived experiences of clergy members that received mental health services. I recruited clergy members from various churches and religious organizations across the United States that met predetermined criteria. This doctoral project revealed that clergy members who have accessed and/or received mental health services experienced feelings of shame, understanding the importance of the therapy relationship, limited access to services, stigma, viewing themselves as mental health clinicians, and the removal of stigma and shame. This doctoral project provided information to other mental health clinicians on how they may be able to improve their services to support this underserved population. Additionally, this dissertation will expand the dialog about clergy members and their accessibility to mental health services. Research limitations and concepts for
