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

I received my Marriage and Family Therapy education at Bethel Seminary where I was trained to integrate my Christian faith with effective therapy practices. Human beings are created in the image of a God who is relational within his being. We are made for relationship. I have a passion for helping individuals, couples, and families find relationship healing and develop solutions to life’s challenges that are consistent with their Christian faith. 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. I look forward to supporting you in your journey to healing.

Our deepest wounds are often those that are at the hands of another person. Human brokenness is the root of our need for redemption. This holds true in therapy and growth work as well. When we encounter our deep wounds, we encounter our need for our Big God. Here, we are able to reconcile the broken our hurt parts of our ourselves. I have been a pastor's wife for 15 years. I am trained in integrated counseling. I have Masters degrees in Theology, Clinical Psychology, and Intercultural Studies from Fuller Theological Seminary, and a Master's in Clinical Psychology: Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific Universality. In addition, I am a professor at a faith-based institution.

I am a Christian therapist. I have a heart for helping couples, individuals and families to become more securely attached to one another by deepening and strengthening their relationships with one another and with God. We are created for connection. We are created to be in relationship and in community with one another. God's heart is that our relationships would be healthy & whole. 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.

Trusting and sharing with another person the deepest, most vulnerable areas of our lives can be difficult. When that person is a Christian therapist, who believes that the Holy Spirit is guiding the therapy session, the experience can be more comfortable and re-assuring. Individuals can be assured that my strong Christian faith, Biblical knowledge and values mixed with my knowledge, experience and the scientifically proven methods of psychology I use, will deliver the trust, peace and effective results that the individual is seeking. In other words, individuals will experience the "best of both worlds" when they experience a counseling session in my office.

I received both my masters and doctoral degrees, along with related training, at Rosemead School of Psychology, one of the leading schools in the country focused on the integration of Christian faith and understanding of human nature with clinical counseling. Our faith can be an important, even central part of our lives. For many people having a therapeutic relationship where this part of themselves can be explored and where they can be open about their faith and relationship with God is hugely important. I understand this importance and so I provide an open, understanding space for addressing challenges, fears, and fostering personal and spiritual growth in a Christian context.

Christian counseling is beneficial in assisting individuals to develop personal wholeness, interpersonal adeptness, mental wellness and spiritual maturity. Christian counseling provides strength, direction and healing using the wisdom and guidance from Jesus Christ's teachings and life. Allowing God's truth to enter one's heart is the foundation for healing within Christian counseling. Christian Counseling is dedicated to providing professional counseling services that integrate mind, body, and spirit, and bring people to relational wholeness with God, self, and others.

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.

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.

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.

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.
