What is Christian Counseling?

Christian counseling is a form of therapy that combines traditional psychological principles with Christian beliefs and practices. It's rooted in the idea that emotional and spiritual well-being are deeply connected, and it uses faith-based principles as key tools in the healing and growth process. 

 

At Spirit of Hope Counseling Center we provide a safe place in which to talk about your faith. We also welcome other faith perspectives and the client is in control of how their faith is used in therapy. 

 

Here’s a breakdown of what Christian counseling typically involves:

​

1.  Faith-Based Foundation

Christian counselors integrate biblical teachings into their therapeutic approach. They may pray with clients, reference scripture, or discuss how a client’s relationship with God relates to their emotional struggles.

 

2.  Holistic Healing

It looks at the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. The goal isn’t just mental wellness but spiritual growth and alignment with Christian values.

3. Types of Issues Addressed

     Christian counseling can help with:

  • Depression and anxiety

  • Marital and family problems

  • Loneliness, grief and loss

  • Addiction and codependency

  • Identity and purpose

  • Spiritual struggles and spiritual abuse

  • Trauma experiences

 

4. Different from Secular Counseling

While many techniques may overlap (like cognitive-behavioral therapy), the biggest difference is the foundation in Christian doctrine. A Christian counselor may encourage forgiveness, grace, and trust in God as central parts of healing.

 

5. Who It’s For?

It’s often chosen by individuals who value their Christian faith and want it to be a central part of their healing journey. Many believe Christ is the foundation of their whole being. We value that at Spirit of Hope.
