Life is far from perfect. At some point, we all encounter towering mountains and storms that seem to last forever. When the storms hit, it’s easy to think you have to weather them alone. It’s easy to say you have to be strong enough, your perseverance powerful enough, your faith big enough. But we are not meant to walk alone.
Thriveworks Woodstock is here to offer a helping hand and walk beside you as you fight this life’s battles. We know we can’t take the steps for you, but our counselors offer empathetic, nonjudgmental support and professional guidance that can give you the tools you need so you can build the life you choose.
Christian Counseling at Thriveworks Woodstock can provide that missing piece in counseling sessions- spiritual health. Mental, emotional, and physical health are immensely important, but we can’t ignore the spiritual aspect of our lives. For some, their relationship with God is the center of their lives. If it is important to you, it’s important to us. Also, the Christian faith is immensely powerful! Thriveworks Woodstock has counselors who share the same faith as you, so you can grow in your religion with a like-minded professional helping you along the way.
What Is Christian Counseling?
Christian Counseling at Thriveworks Woodstock is much the same as counseling for non-Christians, except the techniques and discussions are taken through the lens of your Christian religion. This spiritual edge can be just what people need to overcome their trials.
A Christian proponent can be added on to virtually any counseling session. No matter what you are struggling with, Thriveworks Woodstock is here to walk with you through it. We always take a client-centered approach to counseling, which means you will remain at the center of our discussions. What your fears, passions, goals, and doubts are will be the focus.
In the course of a Christian Counseling session, Christian values are often brought up and explored. We can relate them back to your personal struggles and find guidance within their wisdom. Some of the techniques we use include:
- Examining scripture
- Discussing what the Bible says about your struggles
- What actions can be taken that align with your faith
- How to find healing and relief through your beliefs.
- Your identity as a Christian and relationship with God.
- Much more!
Christian beliefs are overflowing with themes of hope, healing, and faith. It would be silly to completely ignore the beautiful faith you’ve cultivated, or the impact it has on your life. Faith is a powerful thing indeed and can be just as powerful in a counseling room. Our Thriveworks Woodstock Christian Counselors want to help you grow not only personally, but spiritually as well.
Is Christian Counseling for me?
Christian counseling is for anyone who identifies as Christian or wants to take a spiritual take on the counseling process! We accept all denominations and beliefs. Our goal is to never change your core beliefs but to utilize them to create space and healing in your life.
Sometimes we can get into the headspace that we have to go through our trials alone. We start to believe that reaching out for help is a sign of weakness. We don’t want to be a burden to others or miss out on the chance to grow our own faith and belief.
These are valid concerns, but mostly untrue. As humans, we are meant to be in kinship with one another and help each other up. Reaching out for help is more often than not a sign of humility and strength, not weakness. Thriveworks Woodstock wants to thank you for your strength and courage in just reading this. We are excited to meet you and begin growing together.
You might find Christian Counseling especially useful if you are struggling with one or more of the following adversities:
- Relationship Issues
- Major change in life (career, move, etc.)
- Grief and loss
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Substance Abuse and addiction
- Feeling a spiritual void
- Low self-esteem
- Forgiveness
- Anger management
Your Christian faith has a huge impact on your life; it shouldn’t be ignored in a counseling session! Thriveworks Woodstock is passionate about growing your faith as well as helping you through your struggles. If you are ready to take the next steps towards healing and growth, give us a call today.
