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

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.

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.

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.

Want a therapist guided by biblical principles in every way? Want a therapist who is happily married to another Christian of the opposite sex? How about a therapist who dares to treat unwanted homosexual attractions, also known as same-sex attraction (SSA), regardless of what the immoral American Psychological Association (APA) tries to dictate? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you'll want to give Thomas a call today!

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.

The Bible has proven its wisdom for centuries as we seek for answers that bring us to completeness. Christ understands your pain and provides you with his perfect solution - and we will help you find it. Virtually every Christian today has been or will be touched by addiction, divorce, violence, depression, grief, confusion, loneliness, and hundreds of other human challenges. We will teach the client why they have been given such challenges and how God has already provided a place for healing and success. The Great Counselor is working through this counselor to bring you that victory, today! Call Dr. C

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
