Christian Counseling Alpine, CA. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

AS a Christian therapist, I believe that a person's understanding, belief and relationship to Jesus Christ significantly impacts how they perceive themselves, relate to others and deal with life challenges. I utilize pyschological methods and skills to help clients practically apply the principles of the Christian faith in managing and solving their life struggles. Successfully overcoming the struggles of life greatly depends upon hope for the future. I believe that a Christian based approach is affective becasue of the hope found in the person of Jesus Christ. Christian therapy can provide clients the needed confidence and courage to take responsibility for their life situation.

I've been following Jesus for over 30 years. I'm not about Bible-bashing or quoting Scripture you already know ("Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger.") with the belief you should just be able to do it because it's in the Bible - if you *really* love God. But instead I show my clients how they can live out what God and the Bible have to say about their life and relationships in realistic ways that you can actually do. My clients learn to personally experience the love, grace, mercy, gentleness, self-control, kindness, compassion, peace, and forgiveness, the Bible promises - and how to offer these experiences in their relationships with others.

I received both my masters and doctoral degrees, along with related training, at Rosemead School of Psychology, one of the leading schools in the country focused on the integration of Christian faith and understanding of human nature with clinical counseling. Our faith can be an important, even central part of our lives. For many people having a therapeutic relationship where this part of themselves can be explored and where they can be open about their faith and relationship with God is hugely important. I understand this importance and so I provide an open, understanding space for addressing challenges, fears, and fostering personal and spiritual growth in a Christian context.

When providing Biblically based counseling, my approach is grounded in the timeless wisdom and teachings of the Scriptures. Recognizing that many individuals seek guidance that aligns with their faith, I integrate biblical principles with therapeutic practices to offer a holistic healing path. Clients benefit from a perspective that merges spiritual growth with emotional well-being. By exploring challenges through the lens of scripture, individuals are empowered to find solace, strength, and direction, drawing closer to their spiritual beliefs while also achieving mental and emotional harmony. This fusion of faith and counseling offers a comprehensive healing journey, anchored in both spirit

Faith and spirituality can provide comfort and meaning to those guided by their beliefs. I was raised in a Christian household myself so I have an appreciation for the values instilled by religion, the importance of tradition, and the strength of community. My approach to counseling is humanistic and welcoming of all spiritualities. Though I do not incorporate any specific pastoral counsel, I encourage my spiritual clients to draw on their beliefs during the counseling process.

As a Christian and a graduate from Bethel Seminary, I am aware of how a person's spiritual faith is integrated into all aspects of one's life. For many people it is important to find a therapist who understands and values their faith in Jesus Christ. I endeavor to meet each person where they are at in their spiritual journey, respecting individuals from various spiritual backgrounds.

While most Christian Counselors pride themselves on how many Scriptural passages they can recite and how many links they can make from the Bible to psychological disorders, the Christian-centric work of Grey Matters International, Inc.is grounded in one principle: truth. For us, the work is more about truth and transparency of Christ's message and working on the natural laws of accountability and decision making that evolves from that. If one honors God's natural laws of reaping and sowing around the decisions one makes, one is indeed living Scripture to its fullest. We prepare the brain to better maximize the spiritual realities of Christ's words. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, we learn about the importance of religion and spirituality in the lives of our clients. I treat clients of all faiths and backgrounds and do not specialize in one particular faith. Instead, I am open to my clients teaching me about their beliefs and the important role that faith plays in their lives. From the very first session, I will ask about your religious practices, if there is a faith community that is important to you, as well as determine if there is room for growth in this area. Some people find their closest friends and family in faith communities, so having a therapist who understands this is a vital piece of the therapy experience.
