Christian Counseling Sanford, FL. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

Our approach to Christian counseling starts with learning the client’s spiritual history and their Christain walk. We adopt a systematic approach by integrating Christ-based principles in therapy. A clinical spiritual assessment is conducted prior to the implementation of any prescribe treatment approach, thereby achieving consistently favorable outcomes. For example, we use the FICA tool: faith, importance, community, and address: • Do you consider yourself a person of faith and how would you describe your faith tradition? • What importance does your faith have in your life? • Are you a member of a local church or faith community? • How would you like me to address these spiritual matter?

Is a Christian perspective important to you? If so, I’d love to work with you. As a Christian therapist, I draw on not only my education in psychology, but also my experience serving 3 years as a college pastor. I specialize in working with men, and use both psychological and Biblical principles to help guys break free of the cages that hold them back and become the lions God created them to be. I believe in Biblical truth, yet understand that most men need encouragement with God’s promises, not more judgment. If you’re wrestling with stress, shame, avoidance, or isolation, you’re not alone. There is hope, and I’d be honored to walk with you on your journey towards personal breakthrough.

My background in Christian studies spans almost 18 years including college studies that required understanding of multiple Christian religions. In understanding Biblical fundamentals on how to relate to religion, relationships, and the management of self I am able to understand and discuss the challenges that society today places on the life of a practicing Christian.

I attained my counseling degree from a seminary for the purpose of intentionally integrating my Christian faith with the therapy process. I believe one's faith in God is integral in healing relationships and solving problems. I will actively integrate your Christian faith into therapy. Faith in God saves marriages and families that otherwise have no chance. God has worked miracles in my own life and relationships. I am humbled and excited to walk through this process with you!

Our deepest wounds are often those that are at the hands of another person. Human brokenness is the root of our need for redemption. This holds true in therapy and growth work as well. When we encounter our deep wounds, we encounter our need for our Big God. Here, we are able to reconcile the broken our hurt parts of our ourselves.

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.

Is a Christian Counseling perspective important to you in therapy? As an experienced Christian Counselor and ordained pastor, over the last 15 years I’ve been blessed to help hundreds of men find hope and healing using both psychological and Biblical principles. I believe that Christ is the ultimate source of hope and healing in this life. But I also believe that he’s given us the gift of rational minds, able to discern scientific and psychological truths built into the fabric of His amazing creation. My approach is grounded firmly in Scripture, but I don’t use Scripture as a weapon. You don’t need more guilt, but rather, a reminder of God’s promises and a compassionate guide to support you.
