Christian Counseling Auburn, WA. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

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.

If you’re looking for a counselor who will incorporate faith-based values, encourage your beliefs, and walk with you on your journey in Jesus Christ, then I’m happy to be of service. Christian counseling is about finding the path God has intended for you, while drawing strength and guidance from His word. Being a Christian doesn’t mean you’re perfect from the start. Although we strive to please our Father, we still face battles and temptations. Thankfully, there is hope. Jesus promises freedom from the bondage of sin for all those who believe. You can live a righteous, fulfilling life. I’m here to walk with you and offer support each step of the way.

As someone who considers himself a “Christian” counselor, I have to ask myself is there a difference between what I do and a traditional counselor? And if so, how would a client know the difference? Let me start with what clients should be aware of. Regardless of who you see, this idea of a counselor as being objective, neutral, and free of any moral bias is inaccurate. The core business of counseling as it stands today is about seeing someone to help you change your behavior (i.e. thoughts, feelings, actions). But I believe God wants more than behavioral change, he wants deep inner change that touches the soul of who we are. That is the work I strive towards, inner change.

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.

I like to consider Christian therapy through a couple of categories. For many years we've confessed sins and truths to God and each other as the church; therapy is a place to be honest and seek what is true without having to hide anything. It's also a lot like what we find in wisdom literature (Psalms, Proverbs, Job and others) where hopes and fears and desires are voiced before God. These things bring us into relationship with God, ourselves, and others. This work is deeply connected to my faith- with it I can offer a helping hand in navigating life's difficulties.

My training as a Marriage and Family Therapist has reinforced my respect for each and every person's right to choose to practice their faith in the manner that is in line with their beliefs. Many people come to me because I am not out to change their beliefs, but to work with them as a whole persons as they are. My Christian background is good news to many who are concerned that their beliefs might not be considered in the therapy process. Call me if you have any questions in this regard 425 652-1413.

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.

I proudly offer Biblically-based counseling and absolutely welcome both my Christian and Jewish families to find support and encouragement in keeping with the traditions they uphold. I am versed in both Torah and the Old and New Testaments, and celebrate both with an open heart. We share a personal and loving God, and a wisdom that defies the ages. Faith-based therapy leans into values to make decisions, set priorities, and create a life of deep purpose and meaning.

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 am committed to helping people overcome their difficulties so they can find the freedom that God intends for us. I believe that God uses our brokenness to help us transform and grow closer to Him. With the help of a compassionate counselor, we can safely explore our deepest, most vulnerable parts and find the healing we need. I work with issues such as marriage/relationship difficulties, addictions, co-addictions, anxiety & stress, depression, grief/loss, and spiritual healing.

Rob & Dori are passionate about changing lives. Approximately 40% of our clientele self-identify as Christian. We are Christians, and yet we are far from religious or dogmatic. When clients contacts us, they seek outstanding professional help, whether they are Christian, Agnostic, Atheist or any other religion. If you seek religious guidance only, we suggest contacting your faith's organization. Christian clients desire a grounded Biblical approach. Mental health, relational success, and overall emotional healing requires experience, and scientific and educated wisdom. Integrity, character, and foundational values also greatly assist and influence clients' health.

Healing and redemption are the heart of the Gospel. Broken people turn to God to find love and hope. I counsel from a Christian perspective that teaches how a Biblical response to suffering in the world will always apply grace and forgiveness to every relationship we encounter. This approach is transformative for individuals, couples, and families as the Gospel message is experienced in every aspect of their lives.
