Christian Counseling Solana Beach, CA. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

My career in psychotherapy began as a desire to do spiritual direction, helping people find their calling in life, meaning and purpose, when they feel lost and confused. I worked for 10 years in catechesis (integrating doctrine/religious teaching into practical every day experience) in Catholic Church. I decided I might appeal more widely by going in a clinical psychology direction, but spirituality is my foundation in thinking about the person who sits in front of me is and how I might assist him/her. I have been married 39 years to someone Jewish, whose mother escaped Nazi Germany 6 weeks before Kristallnacht. I have learned how to integrate both heritages, not a simple task.

I am a practicing Christian and I am happy to help you make changes in your life working from this perspective. One of my guiding scriptures is Hebrews 6:19 "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." We need a strong spiritual connection in order to have strength and hope to make changes as it is not always easy. Ultimately, I believe that the people who need to find me are led to me because God works through me to help people. It is my calling in life. You can make changes in your life. Luke 1:37 - "For with God nothing shall be impossible."

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.

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.

Many people going through challenging times and even misguided times are aided by biblical scriptural verse or religious philosophy. There are many times in life where scriptures and religious thought can help to restructure and influence one’s life choices. Biblical concepts speak to the soul of a person who has been raised or nurtured within a religious community and within a religious poetic narrative. My personal background is steeped within the first 24 books making up the Bible, the Tanach, the Five Books of Moses, the Prophets and the Writings, that which is the core of the Judeo-Christian religious foundations. Religious concepts that can be effective spiritual tools to help, enlighten and guide a client’s chosen path to recovery or to healthy...(view profile to read more)

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.

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.
