Question 1

Who is Gregory Mariani, MDiv, BCC?

Accepted Answer

Recognizing a gap in the wellness space, Greg created a practice rooted in alternative emotional support—a judgment-free environment centered on discernment rather than a medical diagnosis, completely independent of permanent health records.

With 1,600 hours of clinical pastoral education and experience as a former spiritual care department manager at a community hospital, Greg brings exceptional expertise to every session. Widely known as a 'pastor’s pastor,' he offers an open heart to individuals navigating setbacks, loss, life transitions, ministry challenges, isolation, and uncertainty. His leadership extends across the field: he has served on certification committees for board-certified chaplain candidates through Board of Chaplaincy Certification  Inc. and shared his expertise as a two-time spiritual care panelist for the Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine.

A dedicated advocate for healthcare professionals, Greg stood shoulder-to-shoulder with doctors, nurses, and frontline providers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Through Real Chaplaincy, he welcomes individuals from all walks of life, faiths, creeds, and non-religious backgrounds into a secure virtual space that is entirely their own.

Question 6

***Disclaimer***

Accepted Answer

Chaplaincy is NOT a replacement or substitute for therapy, medical, legal, or psychological advice. No diagnosis is involved. Conversations are kept private unless you pose a threat to yourself or others, or there is reason to believe there is abuse or neglect of a child or elderly person. Some of what comes up during the session may be outside the scope of emotional/spiritual support and may need follow-up with a mental health professional. By booking a session, you acknowledge and understand and agree to these terms. Real Chaplaincy LLC is not responsible for data integrity and handling of Talkspresso.
