Starting Christian counseling

What is Christian counseling?

Christian counseling in Bethlehem 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.

As a person of the Christian faith, you were probably taught at an early age to build time into your day for talking to God and growing your relationship with him. Maybe at the time, you didn’t really understand the purpose of doing so. Maybe you even put this on the backburner every now and then. Today, though, we’re confident that you understand why this was an important part of your day. On the same note, it is never too late to put more effort into this practice and grow closer to God.

“Faith isn’t the ability to believe long and far into the misty future. It’s simply taking God at his word and taking the next step.” –Joni Erickson Tada

Regardless of where you stand in your journey with God, know that when you’re confronted with challenges, He is right there with you. At Thriveworks Bethlehem Counseling, we provide Christian counseling to those of the Christian faith to help them work through these challenges and get back on track. Remember: maintaining and improving your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual self is an essential part of life’s journey!

Christian counseling uses Christian practices and teachings as well as scientifically-proven therapy techniques to help you better your life. If you think that you could benefit from working with a Christian counselor, reach out to Thriveworks Bethlehem Counseling today.

How Might Christian Counseling Guide Me?

Seeking help does not signify weakness. In fact, it signifies quite the opposite. Asking for help is a sign of strength, as it takes true strength to admit that you have work to do and that you are willing to go the extra mile to improve your life as well as your relationship with God. When you devote time and attention to your faith, you also put time and attention into your relationships with others as well as your own personal growth.

Christian counselors help individuals conquer a variety of challenges. There aren’t any challenges that prove to be too big or too small to receive help with. Remember: Asking for help is a sign of strength. At Thriveworks Bethlehem Counseling, our Christian Counselors can help you in the following areas:

  • Struggling amid major life transitions
  • Stress, in one’s personal or professional life
  • Depression or anxiety management
  • Working through and healing from trauma
  • Grieving a tough loss

We have only just scratched the surface. Christian counseling at Thriveworks Bethlehem, PA has proven to help many different clients make changes in their life for the better. You don’t have to struggle in silence. Reach out to a mental health professional and always trust in God.

What Does Christian Counseling Look Like?

Going to your first counseling appointment can feel intimidating or scary. There are too many unknowns that might make you wary or uncertain. In Christian counseling at Thriveworks Bethlehem, you can find comfort in the fact that your provider shares your Christian faith and will use your faith to create an effective plan to help you make improvements in counseling. Your Christian counselor will keep your faith close as they design this plan and also utilize psychological practices that prove to help people heal and grow.

Sometimes when we struggle, we lose touch with our faith and put our relationship with God on the wayside. Christian counseling can help put things back into perspective again as you learn to deal with the challenges in your life and walk closer to God again.

Kenneth Fulton has been my psychologist for over a year and a half. He has brought meaning back to my life, after losing my mother in February 2020 and dealing with covid. I can never put into words what his counseling has done for me. I went from a very dark place back into the light again. He's the greatest at what he does. I could go on and on about this counselor but that would take too long. Thank you Ken for everything you've done.

Through my sessions with Lora I’ve been able to stop doubting myself and my capabilities. My life has changed drastically for the better through her teachings and spot-on feedback. I started seeing Lora because I was going through a tough breakup and not only were we able to acknowledge the toxicity of that relationship, we were also able to tackle my productivity issues at work and I have since completely turned my career around. I feel as though I’ve been running with a ton of weight on my shoulders and Lora was able to guide me on how to liberate myself from all of these burdens and run freely! Thank you Lora, don’t know where I’d be without ya!

I worked with Christiana for nearly four years in a clinical setting. In our agency, she was known as a compassionate counselor and was very sought-after by clients because of her caring nature and ability to hold clients accountable when needed. Her solid clinical skills made her a colleague I could always count on for solid feedback and a very thorough way of addressing client needs. She was able to look at clinical issues from multiple perspectives and with a real sense of fairness and respect for the client. Christiana is a rare find in this field!
