Starting Christian counseling

What is Christian counseling?

Christian counseling in Chesapeake 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.

Work with a Christian Counselor in Chesapeake, VA—Christian Counseling and Therapy

Christian Counseling at Thriveworks Chesapeake is often integrative. In other words, our Christian Counselors combine Christian scripture, prayer, and science-backed therapeutic techniques to best help their clients. For example, one session might focus heavily on one’s relationship with God and involve prayer work. In the next session, the client and counselor might talk about one’s Christian faith ever so briefly.

Christianity brings stability, happiness, and strength to our lives. It can lend support during particularly difficult times and make the joyous times that much better. Now, when you do enter those difficult times, it is important that we tune into our faith and trust that God is right there beside us. On the same note, this does not mean that you are too strong for counseling or that counseling is not necessary. In fact, it will instead ready you for the relationship you will build with a Christian Counselor. Reach out today to get started.

I have been in and out of therapy for decades until I came to Thriveworks and got placed with my current therapist. Over the past year and a half, she has changed my life in so many positive ways there aren't enough words to describe it.

Alise is wonderful. She is a fantastic listener and her empathy is felt in each of our meetings. She is patient with me even when I realize I'm rambling on. I like that she is direct and forthright. I definitely need that…. I feel once we've met that a load is off of my shoulders and heart… My mind is at ease.. at least for a while. She gives me plans and activities that help me in a tremendous way. I greatly appreciate her and would recommend her. I know with her counseling I'm getting better soon.
