We as people are burdened with the reality of being fully integrated creatures. The human mind is so complicated that we are not only conscious of our feelings, behaviors, choices, etc., but are furthermore conscious of our very consciousness. In that consciousness is a mystical part of life that gives us a sense of ourselves. Depending on your culture you might refer to this as a spirit, Self, identity, soul, etc. However, due to life complications, that feeling can be put into question in a variety of ways. If you are questioning yourself and beliefs with respect to your place in the world please call me. I can help guide your thinking through dialogue so you can find your own truth.

Our spirituality is a very important aspect of who we are and is essential to our healing and wholeness. If you are someone who considers your faith and prayer life to be important to you as a person, I provide counseling within the context of your beliefs, and integrate spirituality with therapy. While I work with people of various religious and denominational backgrounds, my personal approach is from a Christian, Catholic, non-conservative and non-judgmental perspective. Counseling can help you with many internal obstacles and help you live more fully and free to become the person God created you to be.

I have worked with many Christians and know for a fact that when faith is important to a clients, they need to incorporate that in therapy. I received my training from a Christian college and Seminary, so applying prayer or scripture and exploring your theological or spiritual questions in your healing process is something I provide for clients when they ask. My clients and I may be of a different denomination, but be rest assured, I do not push my view down their throats. This is your process and I want you and God to lead us in our work. I do provide a free consultation, when clients ask. Hope to see you. Blessings to you.

In Christian life, the goal is to become more real; more fully all you were created to be in relationship to God and to other people. I will help you access all that is available to you in the Christian faith that can help you in your journey and relationships. Whether you struggle with faith itself, trauma, relational conflict, or other life issues, I provide a safe environment for you to struggle and be authentic without fear of judgement. I also support you in maintaining your autonomy and freedom of choice in your decisions. I draw on the wealth of psychological knowledge in the Christian faith and in psychology and science to help you become a healthier, more fulfilled relational being.

My Christian clients come to me because they want to work with a therapist who shares their biblical orientation to life and growth. I attended Focus on the Family's extended training on the integration of Christianity and psychology in the early 1990s to develop my approach to Biblical counseling. It is my experience that Christians are looking for the same kinds of changes in their lives and relationships that secular clients seek out, and along with these want to find God's purpose and meaning in their suffering. Finding and maintaing an eternal perspective while reconciling current life issues is the added dimension my Christian benefit most from.

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.

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 grew up in the Christian tradition and am comfortable working with people who find their faiths important to them (both conservatives and liberals). Prayer can be a powerful way of strengthening who we are psychologically. Many couples with a religious tradition find that praying together is another way of being intimate and setting intentions together. We can have empowering relationships to religion and spirituality and we can suffer from oppressive views of ourselves due to religious and spiritual abuse. If you are questioning your faith, sometimes it can be helpful to learn how to hold onto the blessings and the Grace and not "throw the Baby out with the bath water".

If spirituality is an important part of your life and you would like talk about it in your therapy sessions, then Transpersonal counseling can be very helpful for you. I incorporate prayer, meditation, dreams, mystical and shamanic experiences in my practice. Feel comfortable to talk about spiritual matters with a spiritually oriented psychologist.
