Christian Counseling in Marietta, Woodstock & Smyrna
When life feels like it's spiraling out of control, Christian counseling might be exactly what you need to find your footing again. Advent Counseling is here to help.
Ever have one of those weeks where absolutely everything goes wrong? Your car breaks down, work becomes a nightmare, and then your kid gets sick on top of it all. You're trying to hold it together, but honestly? You're barely hanging on.
Maybe that's where you are right now. Sitting at your kitchen table at 2 AM, wondering how you're supposed to handle another day when you can barely get through the current one.
You're not alone, and you don't have to white-knuckle your way through this stuff anymore.
Why Everything Feels So Overwhelming Right Now
-
Does your anxiety keep you up scrolling your phone until 3 AM?
-
Do you snap at your spouse over little things because you're running on empty?
-
Have you been putting on a brave face at church while secretly wondering if God even hears your prayers anymore?
Life wasn't supposed to be this hard, right? At least that's what most people tell themselves. But between work demands, family responsibilities, money stress, and everything else you're juggling, it's no wonder so many folks feel like they're drowning most days.
What Most People Experience

They're exhausted but can't seem to slow down.

This is what happens when people try to carry more than they're meant to handle alone. But with your Christian counseling, you can feel connected to your faith and make positive changes in life.
What Happens During Christian Therapy
You’re probably wondering what exactly Christian therapy is and how it helps. That is a fair and important question. Nobody wants to walk into something blind.
Your Christian therapist is not going to make you sit there and spill your deepest secrets to a complete stranger. That's not how this works. The counselors at Advent Counseling start where you're comfortable and go from there.
Here's How We Approach Things During Christian Counseling
Your Faith Matters Here
Your relationship with God will play an important role here. It's central to how we help you heal. You'll talk about what Scripture says about what you're going through, but in a way that makes sense for your life right now.
Only Unique Solutions
Something that works for your neighbor may not work at all for you. Maybe you need help with panic attacks that hit out of nowhere. Maybe you're trying to figure out how to forgive someone who really hurt you. We will figure out what YOU need and work from there.
You Can Be Honest
Tired of pretending you've got it all together? Good. Because fake smiles and "I'm fine" answers don't help anybody. You can say what's really going on without worrying about being judged or getting a lecture.
What Happens When You Actually Get Help
Here's what happens.
-
You start sleeping better.
-
Those racing thoughts that keep you up start to quiet down.
-
You stop snapping at people you care about.
-
The physical tension you've been carrying around for months finally starts to ease up.
-
Most importantly? You start to feel like yourself again instead of this stressed-out, overwhelmed version you've become.
Think about it…
What would it be like to handle a crisis without falling apart? Or to have a bad day at work without it ruining your entire week? That's not wishful thinking - that's what happens when you learn healthy ways to cope with life's curveballs.
