Biblical and Christian Counseling in 48180: Taylor, MI.

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 evolve 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.

My definition of Christian Counseling is more about the counselor than the client. The way I respond to and care for my clients and the insights I give them are the same, whether they are an athiest or a pastor (I love working with both groups, and everyone in between). The difference is that I'm going to point the pastor to the Scripture that backs up what I just said. It is my aim to always be prepared to back up my statements, actions, and theories with what the Bible says, whether anyone around me notices or not. I rely on God's direction with clients and give Him the credit for any success "I" have had with them.

We have several therapists who offer Christian Counseling, as well as many who particularly work with each client's individual religious/spiritual perspective. All of our therapists honor and respect spiritual and religious values, principles and beliefs as part of the whole person and relevant to a client's treatment. Whether Christian, Jewish Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist or of another faith, our therapists help clients integrate their beliefs into their mental well being.

On staff we have a therapist trained with extensive experience working with cultural and religious issues, especially within the Orthodox Jewish community. Her work with deeply religious people extends to other religions including Christianity. She helps people keep their spiritual and religious integrity in the face of dealing with other who do not support and understand their way of life.

Although I see clients in my practice who practice a different faith, or no faith at all, I really enjoy working with my brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ. I hold a Bachelors degree in Theology, and love to counsel from a Christian perspective. The Directors and Officers of the International Board of Christian Counselors have conferred upon me the voluntary global credential of "Board Certified Professional Christian Counselor". They sorted through hours of paperwork I submitted before conferring this honor on me. The bottom line is not how many verses I've memorized. The bottom line is that I actively invite Him into my office to speak through me to each client. His Spirit heals.

I have been a Christian for most of my life. For me this means that I believe in Jesus Christ as my personal savior and I believe the bible is God’s word, here to help guide me through life. The Bible offers a perspective on how we manage life’s struggles and the hope of healing and restoration. I am able to bring a Christian perspective, knowledge of the Bible and prayer into the counseling environment. It has been my experience that people who bring their faith into counseling are able to make more significant, life lasting changes in shorter time spans.

Being a Christian Minister, I encourage individuals to get in touch with their faith and their beliefs to strengthen their lives. My approach is not to judge, but to accept and guide. What is spiritually healthy is usually psychologically healthy as well. My book, "The Cross and the Couch" shows how one can use the teachings and modeling of Jesus Christ to begin to heal one life. While I know the Bible well, my therapy is not a Bible study. I do not attempt to convert anyone, but accept their religious beliefs. Belief in God who is real and alive and desires to interact with his creation, has the possibility of unlocking our greatest potential.
