Christian Counseling San Diego, CA. Find a Christian Therapist Near 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.

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 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.

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 and a graduate from Bethel Seminary, I am aware of how a person's spiritual faith is integrated into all aspects of one's life. For many people it is important to find a therapist who understands and values their faith in Jesus Christ. I endeavor to meet each person where they are at in their spiritual journey, respecting individuals from various spiritual backgrounds.

Each therapist at Relate has training and experience with integrating psychology and spirituality in psychotherapy. While our training has primarily been focused on integrating Christian theology with psychology, we work with people from all faith backgrounds. Additionally, we focus on religious/spiritual issues in therapy if that is an important part of our clients' lives. If religion/spirituality is not an important area of focus, it will not be a focus of treatment.

I am a Christian, licensed marriage, and family therapist. To me, that means the Holy Spirit is the Co-Therapist. God made us in His image and He models connection and healing in His relationship with us. It is my desire to help you address your issues through your Heavenly Father's eyes and receive compassion, strength, and healing for life's struggles. God tells us in His word, "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life." (Proverbs 13:12) Through prayer, Scripture and the clinical skills, God blessed me with, I hope to help you fulfill your dream for God's healing.

I received my Marriage and Family Therapy education at Bethel Seminary where I was trained to integrate my Christian faith with effective therapy practices.

Sometimes life can lead us to crises of faith. It is helpful to have a supportive relationship with a therapist as we work out our faith. Contact me.

Life’s journey is filled with challenges, and many clients seek guidance from a spiritual perspective that authenticates the essence of who they are while looking for a plan to heal symptoms, resolves issues and promote the cultivation of skill, and wisdom to live out their life’s purpose. Together clients and I collaborate and design a plan that enlivens them to successfully transform their lives in the context of their spiritual, family, community and/or professional commitments. As a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors, my research in this area enhances and informs my service to clients from all walks of life with diverse spiritual and existential orientations.
