Christian Counseling Southold, NY. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

Both of my parents were ministers when I was growing up. Can I say that I am a "hard-core Christian"? No. But what I can say is that I am familiar with the bible, believe in it's teachings, and can associate the bible with many other religious texts. Faith is a motivator for many of my clients and if that's the way you make sense of the world, then that's the direction I will take on our journey together. "Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there."-Jesus Christ

Yes, it is true we carry God with us, but we also need to carry a developed Self in order to have the curiosity and discipline to carry out what we believe to be God's wishes. With a stronger Self we also can differentiate our own wishes and needs. We can identify and delineate one feeling from the other. This is vital as our feelings serve as emissaries of our needs. To be a "good Christian" or a "good Jew, you must first understand what it takes to make an even better YOU. That is where I enter the picture.

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.

Having a religious philosophy can benefit clients with these views. Worldview and Philosophy are powerful inner beliefs that clients possess. Chris has worked with many clients with Christian beliefs by respecting beliefs and integrating this into powerful and solutions oriented counseling. For example...." He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her" - A Bible quote that offers a viewpoint can be merged into good counseling. The quote talks about looking at ourselves before we judge others. The concept can be identified as lets look at ourselves before we blame others. This works well in individual or couples therapy to have clients look at their own motivations.

Christian/Jewish Therapy: I've integrated my previous knowledge from a decade of Hebrew School and [independent] studies of Christianity, with the principles taught by a christian counselor I studied under @ UCONN. I took numerous courses with him, & continued to realize how I could help people of faiths. Later in grad school I did my 1,000 hour internship at St. Francis, supervised by a religious Christian. Finally, I spent years as an intern, then resident, at Catholic Charities with numerous successes. Please let me know how I can help you. *Note: This is a professional service and fees similar to other professionals (dr., lawyer, etc.) do apply. (I've had many calls wanting it free).

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.
