Benefits of Working with a Christian Counselor

Christian counseling has the power to help people of the Christian faith reconnect with their Christianity and work through the problems that are tainting their livelihood. Here are a few specific benefits that come with working with a Christian counselor:

  • Shared beliefs and recognition of a higher power: Your Thriveworks Columbia Christian Counselor walks the same faithful path. They recognize the authority of God and use His principles to lead clients toward a more joyful life. They will reinforce the fact that sometimes counting on our own individual strength is not enough. Instead, we need to lean on God in times of trouble and can also benefit from seeking help from a Christian counselor.
  • Encouragement to believe and follow God’s plan: Christian counselors know that sometimes us humans can stray off the path that is meant for us. They will steer us in the right direction again by reminding us of God’s plan and using His guiding principles. This will help you to take actions that relate to your Biblical Truth.
  • Pursuit of a higher, ever-important goal: Every person comes to counseling for their own reason(s). Someone might decide to pursue counseling because they’re experiencing symptoms of a mental illness, while another might pursue counseling because they are experiencing problems in their relationship. Whatever your reason might be, your Christian counseling will keep in mind a higher, ever-important goal as well, which is to help you walk in your faith and live a meaningful, fulfilled life.
  • Discovery of hope and healing: Finally, Christian counseling can help you find real hope and healing. It’s easy to feel hopeless or unmotivated when it seems like everything is going wrong. They will work to instill this hope in you again and help you find true healing, by reconnecting you with your faith and your relationship with God.

These are just a few Christian counseling benefits we have identified. There are many others, of which might vary from person to person, depending on their unique situation.

Can I Benefit from Christian Counseling?

Christian counseling can prove helpful and valuable in many different scenarios. It can help an individual who is struggling with an addiction or another mental health condition; it can help someone who is suffering with grief after the loss of a loved one; it can also help someone who is doing their best to weather a storm in their most important relationship(s). Long story short, Christian counseling can prove beneficial to many different people who come from varying backgrounds.

We don’t want you to feel like you are alone. God is always on your side, and the Christian counselors at Thriveworks Columbia Counseling are here to remind you of that. They are also here to provide you with additional assistance, guidance, and support.
