Christian Counseling National City, CA. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

I chose to became a professionally trained therapist after talking with so many Christians and Christian leaders who suffered from anxiety and depression. From personal experience, I found a need for pastors and their spouses and children to provide a safe place outside of their church to seek help. I have seen how life challenges produced feelings of anxiety and depression that negatively impacted one’s daily life, spiritual calling, and personal faith in God. My heart and passion is to provide a safe place of healing for people of faith, spiritual leaders and their family, where they know their faith will no be challenged, but rather encouraged.

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.

I am a Christian therapist.

I work specifically on understanding how disconnection and distance happens in your relationships and help you build a more secure, lasting connection with those who matter most. I help you repairt rifts, rebuild trust if necessary, and restore your relationship to wholeness for your good & for God's glory.

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.

What makes counseling Christian? Counseling is guided by principles. Christian Counseling is guidance by the universal principles taught in the Bible. So the perspective given is based upon the teachings of love, relationships, self control, and care that help us deal with the fear, anger, sadness, cravings and shame that can rule us if we don’t learn to manage them. Christian Counseling is enhanced by Presence of Christ in the process. My goal as a Christian Counselor is to provide guidance based upon the principles of Scripture and also to assist you in connecting with the Presence of Christ so you can find the comfort and power to implement the principles.

AS a Christian therapist, I believe that a person's understanding, belief and relationship to Jesus Christ significantly impacts how they perceive themselves, relate to others and deal with life challenges. I utilize pyschological methods and skills to help clients practically apply the principles of the Christian faith in managing and solving their life struggles. Successfully overcoming the struggles of life greatly depends upon hope for the future. I believe that a Christian based approach is affective becasue of the hope found in the person of Jesus Christ. Christian therapy can provide clients the needed confidence and courage to take responsibility for their life situation.

For many people, faith is a foundational part of who they are and how they see life. If this is true for you, you probably want to have your faith incorporated into your therapy. I accomplish this not by telling you what I believe, but by helping you explore how your beliefs impact whatever you are struggling with. While the methods of therapy that I practice are effective in the absence of faith, applying your faith to them can make therapy even richer. I’d love to talk to you more about how this might be a good approach for you.

I have a special passion for working with Christian clients and better connecting them with God. Many times trauma, relational wounds, and other negative experiences impact our thoughts and beliefs about God and our relationship with Him. My training at Bethel Seminary San Diego prepared me to integrate the therapeutic process with the Christian faith. I believe the combination of sound therapeutic practice and the hope and truth found in the Bible is powerful! If you are feeling stuck in your relationship with God, I offer you an invitation to come and explore the areas that may be keeping you from more intimacy with Him.

I am a Christian, licensed marriage, and family therapist. To me, that means the Holy Spirit is the Co-Therapist.
