  • Your relationship with God
  • What the bible says about your current challenges
  • How you can overcome your struggles in a way that aligns with your faith
  • How to channel your religion in a way that helps you heal

Is Christian counseling conducted in person or online?

Christian counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How Can Christian Counseling Help Me? Who Needs It?

Life gets busy and overwhelming. So busy and overwhelming that sometimes we put our faith on the backburner. Ironically, this is when we should lean on our faith to guide us in the right direction. However that is easier said than done. You know just as well as I do that sometimes difficult times can steer us even farther away from our faith than we would like to admit to ourselves.

My therapist, Beatrice is so wonderful. It's almost like talking to a good friend, I respect her she's a fantastic listener to the point where she remember everybody's name in the conversation and I just can't believe I found such a highly professional therapist. I recommend everyone if they're looking for therapist to look into having Beatrice your therapist.
