Yet at the core of Christian counseling is the belief of a triune God as healer, who has given restoration through grace and mercy. With this understanding for clients who indicate their need to connect their presenting issues spirituality, I work with exploring how the Christian belief is beneficial to therapeutic outcomes. The Biblical message of hope, faith, love, forgiveness ,redemption, and salvation are "languaged" in therapy in achieving clients goals. Tenets of the Christian faith such as prayer and Biblical usages are incorporated in sessions.

Counseling is addressing spiritual issues of life and is based on the reality that we are a spirit, have a soul, and live in a body. It is an integration of psychological and spiritual realities that affect the way we live and is based on the existence of God, who has our best interest in mind and who is intimately involved with our human affairs. Clients will be able to walk through their own path to healing and gain insight into their life with the help of a loving God. Believers from different denominations and of the Jewish faith will find spiritual guidance and help.

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.
