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.

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.

Christians, far from being immune to challenges, can find themselves in uniquely complex situations due to their faith. Moreover, such challenges can trigger a crisis of faith. Navigating relationships within our families, friendships, local communities, and the broader world is an often challenging journey. We were designed to experience and embrace loving relationships and lead lives that are the same. Choices moving us away from our loving selves cause pain. Our actions or others' choices can lead to confusion & harm. As Christians life is lived well as we discover and live from our true loving selves. It is my privilege to join my clients on this transformative journey.

Is a Christian perspective important to you? If so, I’d love to work with you. As a Christian therapist, I draw on not only my education in psychology, but also my experience serving 3 years as a college pastor. I specialize in working with men, and use both psychological and Biblical principles to help guys break free of the cages that hold them back and become the lions God created them to be. I believe in Biblical truth, yet understand that most men need encouragement with God’s promises, not more judgment. If you’re wrestling with stress, shame, avoidance, or isolation, you’re not alone. There is hope, and I’d be honored to walk with you on your journey towards personal breakthrough.

In 1993 the Lord called me to "set the captives free". I obeyed this calling, received the tools (education) to fulfill this assignment and for eighteen years the Lord has been faithful in using me to minister freedom to those He sends me. My training has been "on the job" and the Holy Spirit is very powerful and evident in my ministry as He uniquely ministers to each person. I give all the praise, honor and glory to Him for using me as He has over the years. If you are looking for a spirit-filled Christian Counselor that has compassion, empathy and warmth born out of her personal experiences with suffering, loss, crisis, trauma, tragedy, etc., contact me.

Our approach to Christian counseling starts with learning the client’s spiritual history and their Christain walk. We adopt a systematic approach by integrating Christ-based principles in therapy. A clinical spiritual assessment is conducted prior to the implementation of any prescribe treatment approach, thereby achieving consistently favorable outcomes. For example, we use the FICA tool: faith, importance, community, and address: • Do you consider yourself a person of faith and how would you describe your faith tradition? • What importance does your faith have in your life? • Are you a member of a local church or faith community? • How would you like me to address these spiritual matter?

One of the things I noticed in my counseling education is how many counseling principles, skills, and interventions are biblically based. The Christian counseling I provide integrates biblical principles with evidence-based practices. My approach allows people to reference their specific denominational doctrine and to drawn on their spiritual beliefs as needed.

As a follower of Christ, I have long understood that God's purpose for my life is to lead & empower others to discover the very best in themselves and in others. The Lord chose to utilize me as a vehicle for spreading His word & helping others live Christ-centered, faith-abundant lives. Although not a pastoral counselor by training, I do incorporate faith-based principles into my practice of counseling individuals, couples, and families.
