Here at Thriveworks Chesapeake Counseling, we believe that there are many factors that should be taken into account when helping someone in counseling. For example, if one’s religion is an important part of their identity, we think that it should be incorporated into their mental health treatment. That’s why we offer a range of services, including (but not limited to) Christian Counseling.
Faith tells me that no matter what lies ahead of me, God is already there.
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.
