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

As a practicing Christian, I can incorporate spirituality into your session. I recognize prayer as a powerful tool and comfortable using it if requested. I strive to incorporate mind, body and spiritual healing as the ultimate wellness state. Acknowledging God as our healer is a concept that I believe and therefore feel is important. Wherever you are in your faith journey, you will be respected.

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 therapist, I will support you in the values and standards that are so important to you. You are welcome to bring scripture guidance and prayer into our session. I practice the admonition to "judge not", which frees us to explore your life challenges in a compassionate and caring environment. Christians struggle with the same life challenges as others. Forgiveness, self-acceptance, humlity, personal spiritual growth, grace, joy, and compassion are part of the message of Jesus Christ. In my practice, I combine recognized, professional therapeutic practice with the values of our faith. You are welcome to call me for an appointment.

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.

Faith is an integral part of my practice. For me, all the best counseling techniques and coping skills in the world are not enough without God. Our relationship with God can become complicated and confusing at times. Sometimes it feels like He isn't even there. It's okay to feel angry or abandoned by God. But when you turn to Him he does hear you. My counseling is not a bible study, but bringing Christ into my sessions is important to me.

Do you find yourself asking ‘but what does God say’ or ‘is this in alignment with what it means to be Christian’ when it comes to therapy? The honest truth is sometimes as a therapist, if I am working with a client who has said Christianity is foundational to who they are, I will ask “do you want to hear the words of therapy right now or the words of the Bible?” There are times when the therapy of the world is different than the call on our life or being a Christian. It is not my practice to ever tell you what to do. I will give you information and the choice is yours. My practice is one where truth, grace and mercy are ever present. If you have questions, contact me and let’s talk.

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.

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.
