Christian Counseling in Birmingham, MI—Oakland Christian Counselors and Therapists
When we experience mental and emotional challenges, we experience spiritual challenges too As Christians, we find refuge in our faith and in God Himself when we begin to suffer. He serves as our unfaltering guiding light—in Him, we can find the hope, the strength to work through our challenges. But what do we do when we struggle to turn to our Christianity and locate this gift from Him?
“The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.” –C.S. Lewis
Christian counseling is designed to help people of the Christian faith work through the mental challenges and life issues before them. How? It combines effective therapy techniques with God’s teaching and other elements of faith. At Thriveworks Birmingham Counseling in Oakland County, our Christian counselors use prayer, scripture, and a wide range of effective therapeutic practices to best help their clients. In this type of therapy, you don’t have to worry that your counselor doesn’t understand or consider your Christian faith in treatment; you can trust that this will be a focus of treatment, instead.

What Challenges Can I Work Through in Christian Counseling?
We all get caught up in the churn and burn of each day. We’re forced to name our priorities and put a few other things on the backburner. The sad reality is that sometimes our faith winds up on the backburner. Fortunately, if we dedicate a little time to introspection, we can recognize that putting time and energy into our faith as well as our relationship with God is always important. In fact, it’s especially important and valuable during times of struggle.
If you feel like you’re pushing away from your faith during times of struggle instead, the Christian counselors at Thriveworks Birmingham Counseling can help you get back on the right path. They can reconnect you with God as you learn to overcome the challenges that lie before you. The Christian counselors on our Thriveworks Birmingham team are skilled and experienced in doing so, not to mention they have their personal Christian knowledge and faith to supplement this process. Now, to be more specific, Christian Counseling can help you to address and manage a wide range of challenges including:
- Mental illness: depression, anxiety, and others
- Addiction or substance abuse
- The death of a loved one or another tough loss
- Major stress, at work or at home
