Work with a Christian Counselor in Chesapeake, VA—Christian Counseling and Therapy

Work with a Christian Counselor in Chesapeake, VA—Christian Counseling and Therapy

Here at Thriveworks Chesapeake Counseling, we believe that there are many factors that should be taken into account when helping someone in counseling. For example, if one’s religion is an important part of their identity, we think that it should be incorporated into their mental health treatment. That’s why we offer a range of services, including (but not limited to) Christian Counseling.

Faith tells me that no matter what lies ahead of me, God is already there.

Christian Counseling at Thriveworks Chesapeake is often integrative. In other words, our Christian Counselors combine Christian scripture, prayer, and science-backed therapeutic techniques to best help their clients. For example, one session might focus heavily on one’s relationship with God and involve prayer work. In the next session, the client and counselor might talk about one’s Christian faith ever so briefly.

Christianity brings stability, happiness, and strength to our lives. It can lend support during particularly difficult times and make the joyous times that much better. Now, when you do enter those difficult times, it is important that we tune into our faith and trust that God is right there beside us. On the same note, this does not mean that you are too strong for counseling or that counseling is not necessary. In fact, it will instead ready you for the relationship you will build with a Christian Counselor.

Common Mental Health Challenges Discussed in Christian Counseling

What would you say if I told you that you can start living a happier, more successful life today? That’s right, even if you’re struggling with a severe mental health condition or another problem, you can start making changes right now that will enable you to live better. Even in the case of…

  • Addiction
  • Substance abuse
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Marital problems
  • Trauma and PTSD
  • Stress
  • Trauma
  • Loneliness
  • Guilt
  • Spirituality struggles

Whatever it is, you can learn to work through your problems with a caring Christian Counselor at Thriveworks Chesapeake, VA. Rest assured, if you choose to work with one of our providers, you do not have to feel shame or guilt for receiving counseling. Unfortunately, many people of faith do feel ashamed to admit that they are experiencing a problem and that they might need some help. And they fear being rejected by their community for “not having enough faith.” But the reality is that every single person, even devout Christians, struggle and need a little bit of help along the way.

Dr. Patricia Jones Review

★★★★★
Therapy was a brand new experience for me and i was actually very nervous about going. Dr. Jones was so great and helpful! She made me feel comfortable the very first day. She provided me the tools and guidance to combat my negative thoughts and anxiety. I was given great handouts that I can even carry with me in my wallet. I really enjoyed speaking with her and looked forward to each session and finding new tools to help me improve my self-esteem. I am truly grateful for the guidance I received from Dr. Jones!
Thriveworks Counseling Chesapeake

Excellent Rapport

★★★★★
First of all, I was so afraid to go to counseling yet open up to a total stranger. However, Dr. Crayton is THE exception to the rule. I didn't feel like I was being judged, or that I was "crazy... She is so kind, calm, and very easy to talk to. She helped me overcome my hesitation about counseling. She allowed me to talk and "hear" my inner voice. Her style and compassion for helping people seems to come naturally. She allowed me to see things from a variety of perspectives but did not discount my feelings and perception. I feel like a new person just from my initial session. I welcome the next session and have already reflected on my mini homework assignment that she suggested. Dr. Crayton has given me a new outlook. I will definitely continue with her!

I have spent the last year learning so much about myself and mental/emotional health! From day 1 Dr. Patricia Jones, has been open, welcoming and nonjudgmental. She truly created a space for me to work through the things I was going through there in the office but also gave me the tools that continue to help me now. DTRs changed my life lol, but seriously I would recommend Dr. Jones in a heartbeat! Also Thriveworks is simple to work with and the newsletter articles are great

Great Place for People Considering Therapy

★★★★★
At first I was super hesitant on going to therapy for myself. Once I found out about Thriveworks, I started up for about a month. Dr. Jones, Patricia Jones, helped me with much more than my mental health and it exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend her if you are considering therapy. It is a very reasonable priced place to go to if you have a great copay as well. I changed for a better during my time there and would 101% recommend if you are considering counseling.

I would trust him as a friend and as a therapist.

I had the pleasure of Brittany Morris working with me in my 4th grade classroom this past school year! She not only helped me manage my many students with anxiety and social adjustments, but she helped guide me along the school year as well. Brittany has a knack for keeping chaotic situations calm, reminding adults and children that they are being heard and are important. Brittany shares stories and advice that easily help children and adults in not so easy situations. She was not only a counselor to me and my class, but also became a friend. I will treasure everything Brittany taught me and my young students! I cannot say enough positive and wonderful things about her, I highly recommend her to anyone!
