Work with a Christian Counselor in Cumming, GA—Christian Counselors and Therapists
When times get tough, we often feel lost and struggle to find something to grasp onto to pull ourselves out of the rut. For those who practice building strong Christian values, it can be powerful to turn to your fellow worshipers for the support and guidance you need. Christianity can provide someone with happiness, fulfillment, and stability. However, sometimes the challenges we face can be harder to tackle on our own than we think.
Faith is unseen but felt, faith is strength when we feel we have none, faith is hope when all seems lost. –Catherine Pulsifer
At Thriveworks Cumming Counseling, we believe that therapy should have a holistic approach to care, taking the mind, body, and spirit into consideration. That’s why we offer Christian counseling! We have ministry-professional counselors that practice with a biblical foundation. This service combines your faith and the principles of counseling to improve your overall mental health and relationships while also building a stronger bond with you and God.

Can Christian Counseling Help Me?

How Does Christian Counseling Work?
Turning to one’s Christian faith or spirituality has proven to help them overcome obstacles in their life. Here at Thriveworks Cumming Counseling, we believe that it is important to consider one’s faith and religion when designing a unique treatment plan for them. Our Christian coaches will take your faith, wants, and needs into consideration when crafting the best approach for your care. They are not only experienced but have the skill set necessary to combine your faith with the principles of psychology. Your counselor will use a combination of:
- Prayer
- Biblical teachings
- Education and support
- Therapeutic techniques to help you make decisions
- Coping mechanisms for serious life events
The use of the combination of these areas will help you build up your spiritual and mental health. Working with our Christian counselors will help deepen your connection in your faith, morals, and values. If you are struggling and you are of the Christian faith, consider working with one of our Christian coaches at Thriveworks Cumming Counseling. Studies show that those who practice a strong religious faith live happier and longer than others. This is just another reason why we offer Christian Counseling opportunities here. We want you to know just how devoted we are to helping you live a happy and healthy life.
