“In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety” (Abraham Maslow). Sometimes what feels safe, comfortable, and familiar, is actually unhealthy; change can be hard and the unknown scary. Do you feel stuck, repeating toxic patterns or negative thinking? Have life events or stress become overwhelming or seem unmanageable? Maybe you just need a supportive space to talk about what you’re going through and how you are feeling.

Christian counseling in Henrico 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.
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:
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.
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.
The practice of Christian counseling dates back to the 1st Century, A.D., and is well-documented throughout the Bible’s New Testament. Today, it’s a therapeutic mental and spiritual approach that combines the benefits of faith and psychology based upon Biblical principles. Therapists that use Christian counseling methods utilize a wide variety of treatment methods. Some incorporate Scripture and Bible-based examples in an effort to guide their patients through life’s challenging times. Others assist the individual in applying his/her own set of spiritual beliefs to day to day decision making. All of us possess some type of spirituality. You don’t have to be a “religious” person to benefit form Christian based counseling. It’s been found that spiritual healing improves the health and well-being for many patients within both individual and group settings. Christian counseling emphasizes faith, values, moral beliefs and guiding principles, which are defined by a person’s:
When you or a loved one are faced with hardships, Christian counseling can be used to apply faith-based healing techniques to a wide-range of situations including:
When people attempt to work through these life challenges on their own, oftentimes the pain and stress become too much to bear. Christian counseling is an effective way to connect you with a higher spiritual power or belief system in an effort to strengthen your ability to cope with and successfully overcome the issue(s) you face.
When you or a loved one are ready to take a more spiritual and faith-based approach to your healing journey, the first step is to speak with a licensed Christian counselor. Many of the life challenges listed above involve marital, relationship and parenting situations. Engaging a couple and/or family in spiritually based counseling will assist them in aligning family roles, goals and traditions that align with their personal belief system. In addition, children experiencing mental and emotional issues can also benefit from participating in individual or family Christian counseling sessions. Positive spirituality-focused counseling, or coaching, methods have been found to improve the overall well-being of children that are experiencing bullying at school, physical and mental illnesses, learning disabilities, developmental challenges, eating disorders and addictions. The good news is that qualified Christian counselors, or coaches, can help patients of all ages overcome life’s inevitable hardships using faith-based therapy.
As we’ve seen, when you or someone you care about experience life challenges and hardships, one of the ways those can addressed is through Christian counseling, which emphasizes faith in God and Biblical principles as part of a total body, mind and spiritual healing process. At Thriveworks Henrico, our compassionate and helpful counselors understand Christian counseling and will guide you in an effort to use this proven, faith-based approach as you overcome life’s obstacles and progress towards a more positive sense of well-being.
