Starting Christian counseling

What is Christian counseling?

Christian counseling in Bethesda is a form of faith-based counseling that utilizes psychological and spiritual techniques to guide and support. Often, Christian counselors often incorporate prayer and scripture-reading into treatment to help practicing Christians work through their challenges.

How does Christian counseling work?

Christian counseling works by focusing on themes of hope and healing through one’s faith. At Thriveworks, your Christian counselor will discuss Christian values and relate them to your unique struggles. You can expect to discuss the following with them:

  • Your Christian identity
  • 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 long does Christian counseling last?

Christian counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer. It depends on what challenges the client might be working through, the severity of those challenges, as well as other needs or preferences.

What Issues Can Christian Counseling Help Me Overcome?

As busy as life can be, it’s easy to get caught up in the everyday demands and stresses of life. Sometimes, this can pull us away from our faith. When things get rough, we should lean on our faith to guide us. However, sometimes hardships drive us further from our faith than we would like to admit.

At Thriveworks Bethesda, our Christian counselors understand what you’re going through, and help you reconnect while working to address the emotional and mental health problems trying you as well. Christian counselors are trained and equipped to help you conquer whatever life struggles you are facing. In Christian counseling, you can address the following issues and more:

  • Grief and loss
  • Self-esteem
  • Learning disabilities
  • Relationship issues
  • Struggles with addiction
  • Parenting
  • Family dynamics

At Thriveworks Bethesda, our Christian counselors are ready to help you tackle whatever it is you’re facing while drawing you near to God and his plan for you.

Could I Benefit from Christian Counseling?

In our modest opinion, we think that everyone could benefit from counseling. Everyone reaches a point in life where supplementary direction can come in handy. Maybe you haven’t reached a point in life where you feel overwhelmed by daily stressors. If that’s you, it’s not too early to start building your skillset. Of course, we hope you never face harsh realities, but that’s not always the case. Being prepared ahead of time could help you prior to this breaking point.

You may already feel strong in your faith, but counseling sessions centered around Christianity could help you overcome your mental and emotional hardships. Your relationship with God, like your relationships in life, are ever-growing and everchanging. The more time you spend on developing your relationships, the better off you’ll become at:

  • Forgiving others and yourself
  • Loving others and accepting love from others
  • Spreading happiness and kindness
  • Self-reflection
  • Selflessly helping others

I couldn't have asked for a better therapist. Nina Zuriff is such a good fit for me. She is very knowledgeable and compassionate. She has really helped me cope with this very hard time I am currently experiencing and makes herself reachable should an emergency arise. I am very happy I selected Nina. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
