Biblical and Christian Counseling in 75135: Caddo Mills, TX.

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.

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.

The first thing you should know about me is that I am a Christian and that I believe that the Bible is the word of God. Hebrews Chapter 4 and verse 12 says that "...the word of God is living and active..." I believe that this verse is true and help Bible believing Christians understand not only what the Bible says but what it will mean for them to line up their life in accord with it. I do not use the Bible as a weapon but as a gentle guide as I remind people not only about the promises, and power of God but the requirements He has for us. I pray with people and lavish encouragement. Furthermore I give concrete and practical homework so that progress can be made most rapidly.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
