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.

As a Christian, I place importance on the role of faith in helping facilitate healing. Where required, I combine principles of Christianity in addition to evidence-based therapeutic interventions to create a customized plan that is tailored to my Christian clients. Faith plays a key role in helping achieve hope, clarity, passion and purpose after experiencing adversity and I fully believe in its power to heal and ease emotional pain as well as provide insight.

God created each one of us for purpose and meaning, made in his image and created for good. As a pastor/priest of 10 years, my Christological convictions lead me to believe that there is hope for everyone through the power of the Holy Spirit regardless of how broken your world has become. As a person and therapist, I desire to be a vessel of God’s redemptive plan of healing using scripture as a tool of hope. Every client is invited to experience the path of freedom in Christ in their mind, body and spirit. We are all on a journey of discovering the road of being authentic to the world and ourselves in which God must be the primary catalyst of change and healing. Come as you are.

How can we address thinking and behavior, without including the soul? "Guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life." How do we deal with conflicting desires, interests, and wants? Understanding our role in God's greater story of redemption being told in the world today brings renewed strength, hope and energy. If you want a compassionate, grace-based approach to who you are and who you were meant to be, I'll journey along with you as you live out the personalized chapters of the life God has for you, and your relationship with Him will deepen. I practice caring, companionable soul care that helps you see God's presence in your life, no matter where you are in your journey.

As a Christian I believe that God needs to be a part of the healing process. I believe God knows the answers I seek when working with clients. Throughout my sessions I pray silently asking God to direct me. He understands what the problem is and how healing needs to occur. Often we see God in distorted ways which impacts our relationship with him and our mental health. Uncovering how we see God and the distortions that are often there can bring freedom for people.

In today's society there are many clients Ive met who have felt rejected by the dogmatic and punitive mindsets of other "Christians." Understandably this has caused tremendous pain to people searching for unconditional acceptance. I assure you that throughout my life in professional study and personal experience I have felt the same sense of rejection and religiosity. I will support you to find the Truth, support and unconditional source of Love you seek. I was raised "Christian" with all the rules but eventually came to the end of such delusions and performance driven behaviors. It was in my darkest time that I came to understand the REAL Truth. Let's talk

For many Christians the use of psychotropic medication is still unacceptable. Taking insulin or tablets for blood pressure is accepted, but taking ‘drugs’ for mental illness is often frowned upon. If you have questions about whether or not you as a Christian should take antidepressants, anti-anxiety medication, mood stabilizers, etc., Dr Mervin (Paraklesis Counselling) can come alongside you from a faith-based perspective and help you understand what these medications do, and why and when you should use them. “Honour the doctor for his services, for the Lord created him ... The Lord has created medicines from the earth, and a sensible man will not disparage them.” - Ecclesiasticus 38: 1-4

At Valiant Recovery, we strive to treat the body, soul and spirit of everyone who comes to us for help. The hurts and injuries of people struggling with addiction might be spiritual in nature, which warrants a spiritual course of treatment. Our beliefs are Christian and we offer a variety of biblical based programs. We understand that every client will bring their own unique perspective to matters of faith and spirituality, and we encourage their right to decide for themselves what they believe. All spiritual counseling is optional and will be provided upon request. During the initial intake, clients are asked if they are open to spiritual direction.

Dr. Val has studied her Bible for years and bases her life on it's teachings. If people believe the word of God, they will hearken to the Bible's teachings. In her experience, Dr. Val has come to the conclusion that all the problems narrated by clients are spiritual ones, whether or not the client realizes it. A long time ago, a group member in a domestic violence therapy session stated, "the things I want to do I'm not doing, and the things I don't want to do, I find myself doing." Dr. Val recognized that, unknown to the client, he was actually quoting the Apostle Paul. It was then she started to pay closer attention to how problems AND SOLUTIONS tallied with the Bible's words.
