The ultimate goal of Christian counselors is to help their clients reestablish and reaffirm their relationship with God, themselves and their social circle. Christian counselors strive to help the client overcome spiritual, mental, social and behavioral problems within the framework of these three dimensions while keeping God at the center of the relationships.

When people of faith claim a connection to their God, they benefit from using a counselor that can frame their struggles in words that are reflected in their faith. With an understanding that our lives fall under a Creator they are connected to, it is important that the counseling process acknowledge, support and guide in light of this connection.

My counseling practice is a "Validated Ministry" within Grace Presbytery.

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.

Faith and spirituality can provide comfort and meaning to those guided by their beliefs.

Though I do not incorporate any specific pastoral counsel, I encourage my spiritual clients to draw on their beliefs during the counseling process.

None of us are perfect, but by focusing on the grace and love of Jesus Christ, we can find healing and purpose in our lives.

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.

My name is Heather and I am a Christian that counsels. This makes me different from other Christian counselors. Because I know that not all Christians believe the same things, I aid you in using your Christian beliefs to find Godly solutions to your concerns. I strive to create a safe Christian fellowship with you that is without judgment or persecution. It is not my goal to have you believe in the same manner in which I believe but to aid you in living by the beliefs in which you hold.

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 evolve 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

Most Christians want nothing more than to live healthy, God-honoring lives, but sometimes life's challenges that make that difficult. Well-meaning but unhelpful Christians may tell you to just pray harder or read your Bible more. Secular therapists may tell you things that go against your faith. As a Christian counselor and ordained minister, I can help you address your challenges in an informed, loving, God-honoring way. You will find that counseling can not only help you find freedom and success over life's challenges but that in the process your relationship with the Lord blossoms into something new and incredible you were never expecting.

I work with many clients who have had traumatic experiences with religion or church, who may have even been hesitant to contact me because I am a believer. My feedback from these clients has been overwhelmingly positive. Spiritual trauma is all too prevalent. I also work with those who prefer me because of my Christian faith. No matter your background, whether a religious person or otherwise, I meet clients on their terms as they work to explore what they believe, not what I believe.

In my Christian counseling approach, I offer emotional and relationship support grounded in the principles of Christianity, providing clients with a framework to navigate life's challenges. Recognizing the profound role of religious faith, I understand that individuals who identify as Christians may seek counseling where their beliefs are not only respected but also integrated into the therapeutic process. This approach fosters a sense of comfort and trust for clients, as they can openly explore and discuss their faith without fear of judgment. By aligning counseling strategies with Christian principles, I aim to help clients find solace, guidance, & strength within their spiritual beliefs.
