Starting Christian counseling

What is Christian counseling?

Christian counseling in Philadelphia 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.

Christian Counseling in Philadelphia, PA

Christianity provides hope, happiness, and stability for millions of people around the world. When life throws its curveballs, many Christians are able to transition and cope through the help of prayer, Scripture reading, and through building relationships with other believers.

However, there are some Christians who may need additional help reacting to things that happen in life. Being the victim of an abuse, going through a divorce, moving or changing jobs, or transitioning to married life once all the children have left home, all of these are situations that would make anyone wish for extra guidance.

If you are a Christian who lives in the Philadelphia, PA area and you need guidance that reflects your faith, Thriveworks Philadelphia Christian Counselors can help. Call us today to set up your first appointment.

How Can Christian Counseling Help?

Unfortunately, many Christians don’t ask for help because they’re afraid of being judged for having a weak faith. Asking for help doesn’t make you weak; in fact, it’s actually a sign of great strength. Our Thriveworks Philadelphia Christian counselors can help you in a number of areas, such as:

  • Life coaching
  • Couples counseling
  • Marriage counseling
  • Career counseling
  • Anxiety counseling
  • Depression counseling
  • Addiction Therapy

No matter what you may be facing, our counselors can provide the help you need that reflects the principles you live by.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Marie for years. Her work with her clients is unparalleled. She is clinically exceptional, while somehow maintaining an authenticity that makes working with her in any capacity a wonderfully positive experience. I would recommend Marie to anyone who is serious about helping themselves, and particularly those with a history of trauma.
