Boston Christian Counseling - Boston Christian Counselors - Boston Christian Counseling Center

My name is Dr. Anthony Centore, Founder and Therapist for Thrive Boston Christian Counseling, and if we were together right now, I would want you to know one thing--that no matter what your situation, no matter how things in your life might seem, no matter what has happened in your past--you can experience an amazing life.

It might not seem that way right now. If you are in a place of hurt or pain, you are not alone. In fact, we live in times when many people are hurting.

Jeremiah 6:14 explained the situation well. It says "They have healed the brokenness of My people superficially, Saying, 'Peace, peace,' But there is no peace."

Persons of faith are often told that their own sin is to blame for any and all personal or emotional troubles they might be experiencing. Serious problems like clinical depression, or an anxiety disorder can become areas of shame for the sufferer because it is contrary to the Bible's instruction to be joyful, and not to worry. 

I am here to tell you that if you have been made to feel guilty or shamed for expereinceing anxeity, depression, or some other life-challenge, it is likely that you have been recieving advice by a well intentioned, though misinformed confidant. 

Such a situation reminds me of the story of Job, where his "counselors" were convinced there was some sin in Job's life that caused his suffering--they could not have been more wrong!

I don't know exactly what you are going through right now, but many people today are struggling with  Common Life Problems such as depression, anxiety, self-image / self worth issues, and relationship problems or marriage conflict. 

Christian Psychologist Dr. Arch Hart stated in his more recent Book that we may be the unhappiest generation who has ever lived. That is a tragedy--too many lives are wasted by the problems of depression, anxiety, self-image, and by broken relationships. Too many of us suffer and hide from our problems, such as Addiction, Sexual Issues, Eating Disorders, Anger, ADHD, Faith Issues, or something else. 

Here is a longer list of issues you might be struggling with, and services Thrive Boston Christian Counseling provides every day to people in Boston and Cambridge.

The real tragedy is that Many people suffer for years without getting help, when change is right there at their fingertips. 

They just don't know how to reach out and take it.

"I want Christian counseling help. Where do I turn?"

How do you find help when you feel like you have hit bottom?
How do you heal when the pain seems unbearable? 

(or perhaps life does not look that dark, but you still have a thought that you want to experience happiness--experience a better life--more often, more clearly, than you are right now).

But wait, I think I am getting ahead of myself....

First, I want to congratulate you on taking the first step to finding Christian counseling. If you are reading this you are SO CLOSE to making change happen in your life. Maybe it has taken you months to get this far--maybe it has taken years...

From this point on, you DO NOT struggle alone.

I, Dr. Anthony Centore, or one of the other excellent Thrive Boston Christian Counselors, will walk with you from this point on.

How is the Thrive Boston Christian Counseling Experience Dramatically Better than the rest? 

We know this is a strong statement. 

Thrive Boston Christian Counselors, every year, help hundreds of individuals, couples, and families from Cambridge and Boston (We also help clients from around the country who seek out our expertise by telephone or online counseling). 

We have helped members of Park Street Church, THe Boston Vinyard, The Cambridge Vineyard, Grace Fellowship church, Cambridge Post Baptist Church, Emmanual Church, Trinity Church, Tremont Street Church, and many many others.

At Thrive Boston Christian Counseling, we are focused on you, the client. Simply put, from the first time you make a phone call to our office (617-395-5806), to the first time you arrive (The top (8th) floor of a beautiful building in Cambridge), you are always respected and treated with sensitive, professional care.

I (or another Thrive Boston Christian Psychotherapist) will treat you with the respect and care you deserve. At Thrive, you are a person, not a disorder. Not a combination of symptoms--which is often the status quo with counseling practices these days. --A disorder does not explain or summarize you, or your life experience. 

The Thrive Boston Christian Counseling philosophy guides everything we do.

• Clients with Depression are not just “cured” of their pain, they experience happiness.
• Clients with Anxiety are not just sedated or calmed down, they experience peace of mind.
• Clients with Relationship problems learn to build and grow meaningful relationships.
• Clients who have Guilt and shame learn to forgive themselves, and others.
• Clients with Addictions don’t just kick the bad habit, they become whole.

Your Faith is Respected at Thrive Boston Christian Counseling.

Many research studies have shown that Christian faith and Christian spirituality helps persons overcome difficult life issues, and that people of faith live longer, more fulfilling lives.

At Thrive Boston Christian Counseling, we believe it is important to be respectful to our clients’ Christian faith and spiritual beliefs.
