Christian Counselling Altona, MB. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

"The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away." Jesus recognized that in the fullness of our lives - there is much suffering. But did Jesus want us to suffer? No, emphatically not! The Christian message directs us to live our lives in a search for the right path. This path is very much a path of hope, compassion and loving kindness- both for ourselves and all others. How do we accept this path and walk it when we are beset by problems on all sides - when we get mixed up with our losses, our hurts, and human frailties. Christian counseling is very much about re-remembering the relief from suffering inherent in the Christian message and seeking your solutions in a non-judgmental context.

As a Christian who is also a therapist, I understand how important it is to be able to connect with other Christians at a deeper level--to share struggles, ask/reflect on difficult questions, and experience Galatians 6:2 in action. When it comes to engaging faith in therapy, I'm client led. This tends to look like asking exploratory questions, offering encouragements where relevant, and even offering select faith-based exercises (often mindfulness meditations). It will never look like telling you 'you simply need to pray more, have more faith, etc.', nor telling you what you ought to believe. I will step in with you as a fellow believer (rather than a pastor, etc.).

Christian counseling is pastoral/spiritual counseling which uses psychology and Christian teaching to address issues of the heart and soul. As a Christian therapist I seek to help clients work through psychological and spiritual issues using both traditional therapeutic methods and a philosophy based on traditional Christian beliefs and the teachings of the Bible; I endeavour to honour a client's particular spiritual beliefs and faith. I believe a person's faith is a resource and strength as they journey on their path to wholeness. Consequently I address issues from a spiritually integrated perspective that goes beyond just the physical, psychological and emotional aspects of a client's life

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.
