Biblical and Christian Counseling in 10926: Harriman, 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.

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.

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.

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 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 practice of form of therapy that is consistent with Judeo-Christian values. I was raised as a Catholic and understand the philosophy and tenets of Catholicism. I teach patients to fully accept themselves and others but to address misbehavior in themselves and others. This is consistent with the biblical phrase "Condemn the sin but love the sinner."

For many of us, growth in other areas of our life cannot be achieved without processing it through a Biblical lens. Audrey believes in helping Christians that would rather not work directly with a pastor/priest, but wishes to infuse their core belief systems into processes and exploring their long term goals and mental health concerns. Religious principles can sometimes lead to heightened feelings of shame and guilt. With Audrey, you can process your clinical concerns as a believer without concerns of being perceives as a "sinner".
