Biblical and Christian Counseling in 30032: Decatur, GA.

You do not have to be a Christian to benefit from counseling, but if you are a believer Summer can provide spiritual direction and perspective based on her own conversion to Christianity as an adult. Summer earned a degree in Christian counseling from Richmont Graduate University along with a Master's degree in counseling from Georgia State University.

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.

In a world where we are constantly witnessing human cruelty and brokenness it is common to ask the question of, "Why, God?" or "Where were you, God?" Our spirituality and faith are tested day by day making it difficult to stay consistently connected to God. It's especially hard to do alone, which I believe is why God gave us one another in community. You will find my office to be a place of peace, prayer, soul searching, and forgiveness. Together, we will wrestle through scripture and discussion in search of answers to the difficult questions of life. My goal is that in time you will find healing and restoration in your faith.

I help clients of Christian faith and other spiritual backgrounds to explore faith issues, church hurt, and spirituality from a Christian lens. I offer an accepting, non-judgemental space to ask questions, wrestle with difficulties, and process faith-related topics. I use a spiritually integrative approach and can bring a knowledge of biblical themes and theology without imposing dogmatic scriptural applications. I have additional training in Masters' level Christian Counseling and hold seminary certificates in Biblical literacy and apologetics.

No safer place. No better time. Life is hard at times, and no one gets a pass. It’s easy to buy into an “I can do this all by myself” mentality, but in our humanness we’re not strong enough or smart enough to handle everything that life throws our way. Through Christian counseling I can help you. My specialties include conflict resolution, divorce intervention, infidelity recovery, adolescent crises, couples counseling, marriage repair, marriage preparation, anger management, and spiritual struggles. My passion is to help you find your way back to hope in life and healing in relationships. Don’t go it alone. God didn’t plan it that way, and He wants to be with you.

I am a Christian first and foremost in life. God is my most important priority. Did you know that Jesus is listed as a counselor in the Bible? God called me to this field so He loves the helping professions. Now He is the greatest Helper of all. I certainly know that most people do not come to me for Christian counseling but when people are of the same faith, I think they feel a certain level of comfort with someone who shares their faith. I am in business and I do not share anything about God with someone that does not want to hear about faith. It is my prayer that God's wisdom and love is manifested in each session even if Christian counseling never comes up.

As a Christian psychiatrist, my unique approach to treatment involves adding a Biblical foundation and a Christian framework to the services I provide. I am a certified Biblical counselor and an active member of The American Association of Christian Counselors. As a Christian physician, I understand how devastating the impact mental disorders can have on patients and their families. I also know that mental disorders are real medical conditions that can affect anyone, including Christians. You are not alone. There is hope. We are here to help.

I myself have overcome many difficult obstacles in my life and God has been my saving GRACE every time. Be encouraged, If He has done it for you before, know that He will do it again. Don't lose Hope. Sometimes we have to go through seasons of isolation/separation so that we can hear more from Him free from distractions as He renews our mind, spirit and helps us heal. Allow me to walk in Faith with you through your life journey and help support your needs. Let's Talk. Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Isaiah 40:31 Philippians 4:13 Proverbs 3:5-6 Isaiah 41:10 Psalm 34:17 Psalm 30:1

I believe that all truth (even psychological truths if they align with Biblical truth) is God's truth and specifically that the Bible is God's guide for Christian living and for a personal relationship to Him. Specifically the deepest healing takes place in our hearts when we know that we know we are His unconditionally beloved child. Knowing our value, our identity in Christ, provides a foundation for life from the heart that no counseling theory could ever impart. I can assist Christian clients who want help to develop a heart knowledge of Father God and to integrate a practical theology into their counseling goals.

I consider myself to be a professional counselor with a pastoral heart. My Christian faith informs all that I do personally and professionally. When working with a person of faith, I incorporate scripture and Christian principles as I seek to address whatever brings the client in for therapy. My approach is not solely from this perspective as I also employ evidence based professional counseling practice. However, faith is an enormous strength that clients can use to overcome problems and improve all aspects of their lives.

Repairing your relationship with God can be very helpful in allowing yourself to let go of things you cannot control that feeds anxiety and depression. Learning how to be present in the moment and trusting how life unfolds can help you transition to a happier life. You can start doing this by taking time each day to connection with the creator in any way that works for you: prayer, meditation, acts of service, generosity, time in nature or a daily devotion like my favorite "Jesus Calling." I enjoy helping couples and individuals improve their lives by reprioritizing God, increasing self love, learning forgiveness, practicing gratitude, embracing grace and creating joy.

At Path to Change, we offer high quality counseling with licensed counselors who all share a faith in Jesus Christ. This perspective frames our worldview and offers an ultimate truth and hope which will be integrated in therapy for clients who desire this expertise. Many of our counselors went to graduate schools where integration of faith was part of their training.
