Christian Counseling: A Holistic Approach – Counselors and Coaches in Lynchburg
At Thriveworks Lynchburg Christian Counseling, we believe that therapy should deal with the whole person — your biological, psychological, social and spiritual self. Essentially what makes you, you.
To focus on one area of your life while ignoring how it interplays with all others, would be to ignore major insights into what makes you the way you are, and those insights are what will help you grow into a happier, more fulfilled version of yourself.
We want to help you approach whatever you’re going through, whether it’s a problem at school, trouble at home, a difficult relationship, depression, addiction or anxiety, and analyze those experiences in light of your faith. If you think you could benefit from Christian counseling, reach out to Thriveworks Lynchburg today.
What Is Christian Counseling?
What we do is not Christian counseling in the sense of pastoral counseling, which is when a trained member of the clergy (or a counseling professional with in-depth ministry/theological training) provides therapy services. The Christian counseling we provide is more about addressing your life issues and opportunities in relation to your faith. Our Christian counselors are believers, yes, but they don’t believe it is their job, nor in your best interest, to evangelize or push their interpretation of the Bible on you.
How Does Christian Counseling Work?
When you attend your first appointment, we want to talk about what you want to talk about, what’s important to you and how those things interact with your daily life, career and relationships. If faith in Christ is part of that conversation, then we will incorporate it into our sessions:
For example:
- What insights does your faith offer about the particular issue your struggling with?
- What does scripture say?
- How does what you believe align with your actions?
Your therapy sessions are about YOU and your thoughts and experiences. Our therapists will work with you in understanding what it means to find congruence between your faith and the way you live your life.
