Biblical and Christian Counseling in 10547: Mohegan Lake, NY.

Christian Counseling can take you into a peaceful setting, for you to be at your inner-self. My private environment, and private office will help heal any irrational thoughts you might have. At times a commercial setting can be irritating and uncomfortable to be at peace. Certainly we might find God to be the answer, but, we have to first find ourselves and inner feelings to strenghtened any irrational thoughts to rational thoughts.

Having a religious philosophy can benefit clients with these views. Worldview and Philosophy are powerful inner beliefs that clients possess. Chris has worked with many clients with Christian beliefs by respecting beliefs and integrating this into powerful and solutions oriented counseling. For example...." He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her" - A Bible quote that offers a viewpoint can be merged into good counseling. The quote talks about looking at ourselves before we judge others. The concept can be identified as lets look at ourselves before we blame others. This works well in individual or couples therapy to have clients look at their own motivations.

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.

If your Christian faith is central to your life, it can be very powerful in incorporating your faith into your journey of healing. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, or other stressors, we can help. Our staff Christian counselor is a devout Christian personally as well as licensed counselor, and has training specifically in the integration of psychotherapy and biblical truths. Having a therapist who shares your faith and Christian worldview can be important in healing deep matters of the heart.

I leverage a solution-based approach to clearly outline your primary challenge, work through an exercise to meditate on and define your future state and then work over 8 sessions to achieve it via homework and 1:1 sessions. Clients have experienced great success with this approach, my goal is to empower you - YOU have the answers and I want to help you find them.

Though I work with many folks who are not Christian in a more secular format, I hold a special place in my heart for fellow believers. Working with Christians gives a whole new dimension as well as tools that we can use based on God's promises that are not available to people of other faiths or who are agnostic/atheists. Having the same experience of God gives an extraordinary and powerful basis to work together.

I have been a Psychologist for 20 plus years. About 10 years ago, I took training in Pastoral Formation. After completing this program, I have been the chair of a Mental Health Ministry at a Catholic Church. Did you know that one of the best psychology books ever written was the Bible. In my therapy with clients who are open to their Christianity, we explore the use of their spirituality to help heal their wounds and create more fulfilled and meaningful life with " God" as the engine behind their personal power. The power of the spirit can enable tremendous personal and systemic growth and change.

Our faith can provide hope, strength and comfort in life. Believers should counsel one another. Through the process of therapy you can find healing, freedom and restoration. Through counseling we can begin to lay a foundation for understanding human nature, addressing problems, and pursuing spiritual transformation. God desires for all people to experience their best life, healing, and happiness.

Yes, it is true we carry God with us, but we also need to carry a developed Self in order to have the curiosity and discipline to carry out what we believe to be God's wishes. With a stronger Self we also can differentiate our own wishes and needs. We can identify and delineate one feeling from the other. This is vital as our feelings serve as emissaries of our needs. To be a "good Christian" or a "good Jew, you must first understand what it takes to make an even better YOU. That is where I enter the picture.

I am an Ordained Minister in the Christian tradition and a Licensed Psychoanalyst. I will not dismiss your spiritual life, and at the same time will provide sound psychotherapeutic support. I believe in the integration of spirit, body, and mind. We can explore your questions about life and its connections to the spiritual life. We can explore your doubts about God. We can explore your fears or hopes about what happens after death.

I am skilled, knowledgeable, and have years of experience delivering spiritual and religious counseling to Christians and a variety of clients from other spiritual, religious groups, or perspectives, such as Jewish, Muslim, and Hindus, etc. Having taught world religions at the college level, I am comfortable with and have a diverse understanding of spirituality and religious thoughts within reasonable limits.
