Christian Counseling Briarcliff, TX. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

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.

Jewish clients can benefit profoundly from Jewish Counseling provided by a Jewish therapist who understands and respects their cultural and religious background. With a shared understanding of Jewish traditions, values, and beliefs, the therapist can offer a unique perspective that resonates with the client's worldview. This facilitates a deeper connection and trust between therapist and client, enabling the exploration of spiritual and existential concerns within the context of Judaism. Through this culturally sensitive approach, Jewish clients can find solace, clarity, and healing that aligns with their religious and cultural identity.

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.

Faith and spirituality can provide comfort and meaning to those guided by their beliefs. I was raised in a Christian household myself so I have an appreciation for the values instilled by religion, the importance of tradition, and the strength of community. My approach to counseling is humanistic and welcoming of all spiritualities. Though I do not incorporate any specific pastoral counsel, I encourage my spiritual clients to draw on their beliefs during the counseling process.

When people incorporate faith and spirituality into their counseling, they often find deeper growth, understanding, and satisfaction. We may all have different approaches to our faith and may be in different places in our Christian walk and some may even feel like they want to turn away from their faith or that God has abandoned them. However, I feel that wherever you are, through a Christian approach to counseling, I am able to help clients see who they are and who they are meant to be in Christ, which is someone who is unique, worthy, and loved. It is my privilege to sit with clients in the darkness and help them know that there is no darkness too great for Christ’s light to shine.

I was born and raised with the very strong and well defined beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon). Christian principles governed my life choices. I loved my experience in the church surrounded by loving, hard-working people. But later in life I went on a spiritual walk-about and I visited many different religious houses. I came to love good Christian people of all religions. Faith plays such a valuable role for people's happiness and I welcome therapeutic work that involves a person's faith. As my own faith and beliefs continue to evolve, I wouldn't dream of imposing them in therapy; but I willingly embrace my client's faith as a therapeutic touchstone to guide
