My hope each day is to make even the smallest positive difference in someone's life, whether by offering a safe space to process difficult emotions, helping create a plan to manage life’s stressors, or exploring strengths to pursue meaningful goals. If I’ve lightened even one person’s burden, I consider that day a success. Read more

Starting Christian counseling

What is Christian counseling?

Christian counseling in Columbus 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.

I've been seeing Ashley for years, and she has done a great job supporting me while I navigate life stressors and changes (big and small).

Melissa really listens, and she is able to take what I say and then make connections to either what I have said or felt. She helps me make connections to how I live my life with ADD, PTSD, trauma. She helps me make sense of the hard stuff.

Cecilia has been fantastic during each of our sessions, and I look forward to each appointment. I've tried therapy before but it didn't feel as targeted, or nearly as personal as my time with Cecilia. I would recommend her to anyone who finds her bio/background and areas of expertise resonate with their needs.

Easy to use. Love virtual sessions. Melissa is wonderful. She's a good listener, has excellent insights, gives me meaningful feedback and education, and is comfortable to work with. I highly respect her skills and compassion.

Everything about my experience was top notch. From finding a therapist, to booking an appointment, to my actual therapist - I adore her and tremendously look forward to our sessions.

Donisha meets me after business hours either in person or over the phone, going on two years now. She's young enough to be my daughter, and has a different perspective on life and people and relationship dynamics than I do, and isn't reticent to call me out on bad behavior or distorted thinking. She's guided me through and past three very toxic relationships and a hostile work environment, and instills hope but not at the expense of reality.

My trauma therapist does an excellent job of balancing time in sessions between helping me sort through current challenges and gently leading me back to keep digging deeper for roots of trauma responses and addressing those things.
