Christian Counseling FAQs
What are the goals of Christian counseling?
Christian counseling at Thriveworks focuses on integrating psychoeducation with Christian beliefs in order to combine them into a blended treatment style.
Who can benefit from Christian counseling?
Even though Christian counseling is primarily oriented toward those with Christian beliefs, anyone who is seeking support from a therapist can benefit. Issues such as grief, anxiety, marital strife, or spiritual-based issues may find significant relief from working with a Christian counselor at Thriveworks.
Is Christian counseling only for Christians?
As explained above, even those who don’t identify as Christian can benefit from working with a counselor who offers Christian counseling services at Thriveworks. Additionally, many of our counselors offer more than one specialty, meaning that even if your therapist offers Christian counseling, that doesn’t mean it’s the only approach they are able to utilize to help you feel better.
Is Christian counseling covered by insurance?
Whether or not Christian counseling will be covered by your insurance depends on your plan and what your insurance provider specifies they will cover. Call your insurance provider and talk with our support team to determine what you may owe.
How does Christian counseling differ from secular counseling?
Christian counseling will differ from secular counseling sessions because they will focus more on spiritual growth, emotional healing, relational restoration, and personal development in alignment with Christian principles.
Does Christian counseling treat mental health conditions?
Yes—Christian counseling incorporates evidence-based treatments in combination with passages and themes from Christian scripture. This approach makes it a diverse method for treating a wide variety of conditions.
