Christian Counseling Sausalito, CA. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

My counseling is based on the spiritual and moral values that underlie all major faiths. While sessions are not Bible-based, devout, deeply spiritual clients of all faiths attest that our counseling is fully compatible with and supportive of their values and beliefs. These values include integrity, the Golden Rule, the sanctity of human life, prayerfulness, an open, loving heart, and charity toward all beings. Please visit KinseyLeaseCounseling.com for more.

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.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
