  • 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.

It was incredibly easy for me to find a provider and book a first appointment. . . I have continued to work with Emily for over a year. She created an immediate rapport with me and understood how to meet me where I am at. She has been patient with me as some issues are more difficult to even begin to discuss let alone process. Emily has been helping me process through my difficulties now and what holds me back in life.
