Biblical and Christian Counseling in 75002: Allen, TX.

As a Christian myself, I understand how your faith impacts the way you see the world and how you approach the challenges in life. For more than 25 years I've helped individuals and families successfully overcome those challenges. By applying sound psychological principles within the framework of your Christian faith, we'll work together to help you resolve problems, achieve your goals and restore a sense of peace and hope for your future.

The Bible is God's instruction to Christians on so many topics. A most valuable set of topics is of course, family development and marital satisfaction. As a Christian Minister I approach counseling with an integration of biblical and clinical principles. One informs the other. The Bible is silent on many topics and theologically, one must not attempt to make doctrine out of silence. If you have spiritual questions-- as they relate to your faith and counseling goals, I also happen to be trained to help guide you through your hard questions about the Christian faith and together we can find the answers that Christ wants to pour into your life.

As a Christian counselor, I believe that faith and healing go hand in hand. I understand that life can be challenging, and it's easy to get caught up in the distractions and deceptions of daily living. That's why I take a compassionate and truthful approach to counseling, relying on the teachings of the Scriptures to help guide my clients. None of us are perfect, but by focusing on the grace and love of Jesus Christ, we can find healing and purpose in our lives. Let's partner together on this journey towards a more fulfilling and meaningful Christian life.

In my Christian counseling approach, I offer emotional and relationship support grounded in the principles of Christianity, providing clients with a framework to navigate life's challenges. Recognizing the profound role of religious faith, I understand that individuals who identify as Christians may seek counseling where their beliefs are not only respected but also integrated into the therapeutic process. This approach fosters a sense of comfort and trust for clients, as they can openly explore and discuss their faith without fear of judgment. By aligning counseling strategies with Christian principles, I aim to help clients find solace, guidance, & strength within their spiritual beliefs.

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

When people of faith claim a connection to their God, they benefit from using a counselor that can frame their struggles in words that are reflected in their faith. With an understanding that our lives fall under a Creator they are connected to, it is important that the counseling process acknowledge, support and guide in light of this connection. I have been ordained as Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). I trained at both Perkins School of Theology (at SMU) and Amberton University. My counseling practice is a "Validated Ministry" within Grace Presbytery.

Do you ever feel empty inside? Life without God or spirituality seems very meaningless. Its such a large part of who we are it would be difficult to ignore. Counseling from a spiritual perspective can enhance your spiritual development and bring meaning to your life that nothing else can provide. Together we can learn and grow and have the spiritual maturity we all desire.

The ultimate goal of Christian counselors is to help their clients reestablish and reaffirm their relationship with God, themselves and their social circle. Christian counselors strive to help the client overcome spiritual, mental, social and behavioral problems within the framework of these three dimensions while keeping God at the center of the relationships.

Faith and prayer are an important part of every healthy life. In fact, as Catholic counselors faith and prayer are important aspects of our approach for counseling. These give people strength in times of brokenness, hope in despair, joy in the midst of trials, and clarity when you feel like your life is stuck in the fog. As counselors with Christian faith, we are especially capable of helping you grow spiritually as you heal from the past, examine the present, or look to the future. God is the same yesterday, today and forever—and our faith reminds us that He is with you always. So let’s work together, not only journeying to joy, but also journeying closer to God.

When asked to incorporate a biblical perspective into therapy, I am more than happy to do this. I became a born-again Christian early in my youth. Since I have walked with the Lord for a long time, I have also fallen a time or two, which makes therapy all that richer. There's no judgement, just honest truths that can feel relatable. Therapy is sprinkled throughout the bible; it's the framework for CBT. I can honestly say with my whole heart, despite all that the Lord and I have been through, he really is my best friend.

Christians are unique because they are given a new nature upon conversion, it is said that they are "born again." A Christian is now able to participate in the Divine Nature, with Christ. It is helpful for the Christian to learn the difference between the "old self" and the "new self" that we have in Christ. As the Christian learns to increasingly dwell in the new self, learning to rest in Christ's work and ability, they are able to experience a new peace and freedom. This freedom will present as the fruit of the Spirit, and is a free gift given of Christ resultant of his sacrifice and resurrection.

Faith and spirituality can provide comfort and meaning to those guided by their beliefs. I was raised in a Christian household myself so I have an appreciation for the values instilled by religion, the importance of tradition, and the strength of community. My approach to counseling is humanistic and welcoming of all spiritualities. Though I do not incorporate any specific pastoral counsel, I encourage my spiritual clients to draw on their beliefs during the counseling process.

Faith based counseling is the most effective approach for people who believe in the truth of the Holy Bible and personally experiencing God in a person's life. It is amazing how powerful it is to realize we do not have to do this life alone and that there really is a loving God who wants to love us and walk with us so that we can fulfill the dreams that He has placed in our hearts during this journey of life on planet earth. Life can go from a hopeless mess to an adventure of hope and healing that is energizing to ourselves and those around us!

Most Christians want nothing more than to live healthy, God-honoring lives, but sometimes life's challenges that make that difficult. Well-meaning but unhelpful Christians may tell you to just pray harder or read your Bible more. Secular therapists may tell you things that go against your faith. As a Christian counselor and ordained minister, I can help you address your challenges in an informed, loving, God-honoring way. You will find that counseling can not only help you find freedom and success over life's challenges but that in the process your relationship with the Lord blossoms into something new and incredible you were never expecting.

My name is Heather and I am a Christian that counsels. This makes me different from other Christian counselors. Because I know that not all Christians believe the same things, I aid you in using your Christian beliefs to find Godly solutions to your concerns. I strive to create a safe Christian fellowship with you that is without judgment or persecution. It is not my goal to have you believe in the same manner in which I believe but to aid you in living by the beliefs in which you hold.

As a Christian based counselor I integrate psychological principles with spiritual perspectives, allowing individuals to explore their concerns within the context of our Christian faith. My expression of Christian counseling promotes a sense of identity, purpose, calling, hope, and meaning., helping clients find strength and guidance in their relationship with God. The process will include prayer, utilizing scripture to help validate what the client is going through, and other spiritual practices as therapeutic tools, fostering spiritual growth, healing, and a greater connection with God.

As a believer and Ordained Minister of The Gospel I offer compassionate, biblical, non judgemental help to all of my clients. Offering a safe place for you to share your hurts, stuggles,fears and to be heard. Being a Christian does not mean that we will be exempt of life's trials or hardships, but with God we can live a victorious and peace filled life regardless of our situations. God alone is our healer and I honor Him as the one who truly heals. My desire is to be the vessel through which His healing, understanding, compassion and hope are imparted to you.

I work with many clients who have had traumatic experiences with religion or church, who may have even been hesitant to contact me because I am a believer. My feedback from these clients has been overwhelmingly positive. Spiritual trauma is all too prevalent. I also work with those who prefer me because of my Christian faith. No matter your background, whether a religious person or otherwise, I meet clients on their terms as they work to explore what they believe, not what I believe.
