I am a Christian, and I am very comfortable sharing that information with others. Although I may not agree with the specific beliefs of a particular form of Christianity, I do not believe that it is appropriate for me to judge, and I am accepting of differences. I am able to discuss the impact of our beliefs on our behavior; I am also able to encourage the use of our beliefs as a form of support.

We have therapists that take a Christian approach in therapy and adhere to Bible-based counselling. We often talk about the bio-psycho-social spiritual. However, many times the spiritual part is left out of the discussion when it can be a great component of the human experience. We use Chrisitan counseling to explore past hurts and traumas that may have even happened in the church and then, we reprocess those experiences.

I feel God connects me to people I am meant to help. My primary goal is to create a safe place for people to explore whatever is challenging them without fear of being judged and in complete confidentiality. By providing a safe place I can gently guide my clients through their pain and challenges to a place where they feel understood and validated. From that place we can begin to explore goals and work toward accomplishing them. I help people use their relationship with God to guide them to where they want to be and to where He intends for them to be. We enter this spiritual journey together.

As a Christ-follower I understand the role spirituality plays in all dimensions of life. In fact, one of my favorite verses contains these words of Christ, "I have come that they may have life and have it to the full." (John 10:10) In order to have a full life it takes work on God's part and ours. God's virtues of grace, mercy, and unconditional love are powerful motivators for transformation. As we embrace these virtues, God empowers us to live a full life. I offer Christian counseling to individuals, couples, and/or families who value their relationship with Christ and understand that he plays a primary role in the change they seek.

My relationship with God is who I am. I began going to Willow Creek Community Church when it was only 500 people. Today it hosts over 30,000 on a weekend. I have a strong biblical background as I also attended a small Christian college, Azusa Pacific University, for my bachelor's degree where I took many theology classes. At Willow Creek my husband & I helped launch the DuPage campus, led the Marriage Matters ministry for 4 years, and have served in many other areas. My goal is as a Christian counselor is to create an safe place where you know you matter to God so that you can work through you pains, hurts, and relationship concerns.

I believe we are wired physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I believe God desires to bring healing to our hurts and pains by the Holy Spirit. I work with clients spiritually based on their desire to incorporate spirituality. I will expose christianity bu not impose it. My hope l would be for them to see God as a tender loving God not a judgmental one.

Offering support and counseling under the guidance of Christ's word, your therapist will work with you to connect the principals in the bible with your personal life. You'll benefit from a reduction of symptoms, and a renewed relationship with Jesus and yourself. I believe that by allowing ourselves to ask Christ to help us with our problems, combined with spiritually focused, problem solving counseling, you can begin to find a renewed sense of purpose, spirituality and inner happiness.

Learning what God's word says in the area of marriage, parenting, worry, sadness and relationships can be life changing. Applying what His word says is sure to be one of the most affective tools to live a life that will be God honoring and living in obedience to what God wants for our lives. Having a strong prayer life and someone to hold us accountable will allow effect change to take place that is consistent and long lasting. Realizing that God creates a God size hole in our hearts that only He can fill may be a game changer for many.

Our counselor, Lloyd Christensen, has combined his education in Pastoral Ministry and Social Work. When a client chooses to include their faith in the counseling session, often they experience their life change emotionally, mentally, relationally, and spiritually. When “Christian-based" counseling is used in sessions, together we will operate from a Christian world-view. Recognizing that we are all spiritual beings who were created to be in a relationship with God. That non-judgmental relationship will be a foundation for growth

Though raised Christian/Catholic, I now am a practicing Buddhist. I continue to carry, use and incorporate Christian beliefs to my personal life and my professional work. I find that Buddhist concepts can enhance all faith styles. For example, I frequently teach, if desired, mindfulness, meditation and laughter yoga concepts and strategies to clients and they find them very helpful (and fun !!)

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.
