Christian Counseling Severn, MD. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

I have been a Christian for over 25 years. I attended seminary and have a worldview that is shaped by the Bible and my experiences personally. I validate each client’s worth, regardless of differing views, beliefs, or lifestyle. I recognize the grace that has been provided to me and extend compassion to others as a result. Clients are assisted to think in ways that are helpful, beneficial, and rational. Rational meaning accurate and soundly. I welcome you to contact my office to schedule an appointment.

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 Christian, I can work with you on your life issues through the lens of your relationship to God and Christ. I truly feel that my personal spiritual beliefs in no way hinder me from working with any client; on the contrary, I know that my spirituality is a key component of who I am as a person and thus as a therapist. If you are a Christian looking for a therapist who speaks your language and is accepting of your Bible-based faith, I would be happy to speak with you.

Are you looking for counseling, but want a therapist who shares your Christian faith? My Christian faith has always been an essential part of my life, which is why, when I decided to become a psychotherapist, I chose to get my degree in pastoral counseling at what is now Loyola University Maryland. I consider my relationship with God to be an essential part of my ability to help my counseling clients. I also find shared aspects of Christian faith to be very useful when working with Christian clients; drawing upon our common beliefs can be a rich source of healing. Please contact me today so we can discuss the ways in which I can help you to reach your goals.

Being a Christian certainly does not keep us from experiencing hard times, emotional struggles, illnesses, or relationship pain. My goal is to help you navigate whatever challenges you may be experiencing, either individually or as a couple, in a way that strengthens your faith and reminds you of the purpose God has for your life. While it can be incredibly hard to walk as a Christian in the world today, it is my belief that God will make a way.

Are you looking for someone with educational expertise and work experience? I have more than 15 years of professional counseling experience providing safe, compassionate and supportive help to families, couples, and individual clients experiencing a range of personal issues. I can also provide Christian counseling, which will provide spiritual solutions to your challenges.

I know firsthand the importance of faith in the midst of struggles. Having worked in hospital systems for many years, I find that one of the greatest joys of private practice is to be able to incorporate my Christian faith and background into my work with individuals who are recovering from difficult experiences. Together we can pray, seek out God's word in relation to present day struggles, and even ask big "why" questions. It is an honor when I am allowed to share in the faith journey and healing of others by welcoming Jesus into our work together.

Since I have a Masters, Doctorate, and A Doctor of Divinity in the Theology field and then a Ph.D I use these insights to your advantage. Also I rely heavily on prayer and praying with you at each session. I have developed these fields so I can understand what and how you believe and how it is effecting you and others. A very large part of one's life is spiritual. We may choose to hide from this fact, but the truth is the truth. I do not see my role as changing your values, but may suggest in an area of some other ways to consider. After all, how and what we think is the way we act out our lives. I have worked with most all different religions and understand theire process.

Like most counselors, I recognize personal problems can come about because of physiology, social-environmental influences, and psychological pressures. As a Christian counselor, I am not limited to psychological techniques or to my own human efforts and wisdom. I believe God is the real authority in counseling and He gives us the resources to change. I believe that counseling without Our Creator is operating in vanity and ineffective. My counseling goal is to advocate forgiveness from the past, strength and comfort for the present, and hope for the future. I am sensitive to the many dilemmas we face, and I am trained to identify and assist in navigating through the process of healing.

In the gospel of Matthew, Jesus states “If your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.” This simple statement guides my approach to counseling. The light exists, and we sometimes need help to improve the soundness of our mental and emotional “eyes” to let more light into our personal awareness and influence our feelings, thoughts and behavior. I respect the sacred and unique way that each person experiences a relationship with God, especially during periods of mental, emotional, or relational distress. From my own study of the Bible, I am continually impressed by the applicability of Christian values and truth to issues of mental, emotional, and relational health.
