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.

Ashburn Psychological Services has therapists and counselors who offer Christian and faith based counseling and therapy.

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.

If you desire to integrate your Christian faith and Biblical understanding into the counseling process, I can help. I have a background in ministry and missions with students in the United States, with government and diplomatic leaders in Washington, D.C and overseas in Europe. Our emotional and spiritual lives are closely connected and by focusing on both a deeper and fuller healing is possible. Our God is a relational God who is near to the brokenhearted and full of compassion. I seek to integrate His love and compassionate connection along with my own into my psychotherapy.

For those who wish to address spiritual issues and personal faith in their healing process, I provide a non-judgmental environment to allow God to work in your life. I have a background in ministry and a strong personal Christian faith as well as Biblical training. Looking at life from God's perspective provides a basis for growth and change. Building your trust during difficult times and sharing your spiritual journey in therapy can open a wider path of healing and change.

I believe faith in God is a powerful and essential part of overcoming suffering and adversity in our lives. Therefore, I integrate faith based techniques to the counseling relationship and process for my clients who are believers. I have found over my years of clinical practice that spiritual faith based healing strategies are definitely the most powerful. Also, faith based strategies are very helpful in creating a happy, healthy, and successful life, so I include those in executive, business, and personal coaching as well.

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.

Whether it is addressing trauma's experienced as a result of people from our faith, or finding ways to more fully embrace our faith for healing, I am here to help you see how fulfilling faith can be when we allow all parts of ourselves to interact with it.

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.

Whether you are seeking to deepen your spiritual connection, explore new ways to live in alignment with your beliefs, or transition away from an inherited faith tradition -- our conversations will help you continue along the journey of your faith. I blend western and eastern religious theory and am comfortable with agnosticism. I often use out-of-session readings and 'homework' assignments to encourage private reflection and practice of the insights gained in therapy.

Several of our counselors are Christian. Our job is not to talk about our faith, but to help you figure out the role it plays in your life. We can incorporate spirituality as much or as little as you like in your sessions. Finding purpose and meaning helps many manage their mental health. When we struggle emotionally, people often lose their faith. believing in something bigger than yourself can be hopeful.

Living life from a spiritual base gives us more power than anything in the world. By putting God in first place, we can draw from divine guidance to make our best choices and to grow. Through various psychotherapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and strengths perspective, we will work together to help you to move towards maximum growth and live your fullest life.

There are many benefits to seeing a Christian Counselor. Christians have found that Christian counseling is more consistent with their beliefs than secular counseling. Working with a Christian Counselor, there is no need to explain the nuances of your faith. A Christian counselor understands the power of prayer and the active presence of the Holy Spirit. Christian counseling ministers to the whole person, spirit, soul, and body.

For many people, faith is an important part of their lives and their decisions are often informed by their understanding of Scripture. Unless we're willing to discuss religious beliefs, we may remain stuck. I'm comfortable having conversations about religious beliefs. I have a BA in Theology and serve as a lay pastor on the side where I preach sermons. With that being said, be wary of anyone who claims to speak *for* God or knows the "Biblical" thing to do. I consider myself a "Christian counselor" rather than a "Biblical counselor" because I usually do not quote the Bible in counseling unless you ask for something specific because I think it's too often abused. I do not replace the Spirit.

Change is hard. Our brokenness runs deeper in us than we wish, but so does our capacity for growth and change. My Christian perspective gives me a helpful frame for grappling with and understanding this tension: It gives me great compassion for how challenging it can be (due to our brokenness) to grow and change, and it also gives me great hope for each person's innate ability to change (because of God's protecting within us the capacity for healing). I would be honored to help you deepen your faith as you wrestle with God, your brokenness and your untapped capacity for change. And in so doing help you to become more whole, more free, more the person God created you to be.

As Christians, we are not immune to human pain and suffering. We read that “it was for freedom that Christ set us free” (Galatians 5:1, NASB), but sometimes we feel like slaves of anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or something else. So what does freedom look like for you? I invite you to begin a Christian Counseling journey, where your faith intersects with the tools of psychology in compassionate, judgment-free sessions. I learned to integrate Christian faith and psychology in my graduate training. Prior to graduate school, I worked for six years as a discipleship counselor for women in a local Christian ministry. Please contact me for more information.

My background in Christian studies spans almost 18 years including college studies that required understanding of multiple Christian religions. In understanding Biblical fundamentals on how to relate to religion, relationships, and the management of self I am able to understand and discuss the challenges that society today places on the life of a practicing Christian.

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.
