I'm getting ready for a second run at grad school apps after being passed over last time because my interests were a bit on the vague side. I've drifted towards a humanistic, mostly existential viewpoint since then, and I'm having a bit of trouble finding faculty doing that sort of research. Any suggestions on programs?

Good luck on that one!
Forget about finding a clinical psych researcher with a humanistic perspective.
If you don't have a positive or, if your a real radical in the field, to the far left a post-positive orientation towards research, your basically out of luck!
Counseling psych is a bit more supportive of qualitative/humanistic research, I think. Social work, too.

...but there's no clinical or counseling psych program there.
The PhD program is in health psych, but they have a clinical track. Although I honestly don't know much about the program other that the fact that Tedeschi and Calhoun are there, who do interesting work with PTG.
it's a lot easier to find clinical supervisors who have eclectic/humanistic/existential orientations than primary research mentors. I'm, in an externship right now like that: my research is pretty different than my clinical work..
