Christian Counselling Otterburne, MB. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

As a Christian who is also a therapist, I understand how important it is to be able to connect with other Christians at a deeper level--to share struggles, ask/reflect on difficult questions, and experience Galatians 6:2 in action. When it comes to engaging faith in therapy, I'm client led. This tends to look like asking exploratory questions, offering encouragements where relevant, and even offering select faith-based exercises (often mindfulness meditations). It will never look like telling you 'you simply need to pray more, have more faith, etc.', nor telling you what you ought to believe. I will step in with you as a fellow believer (rather than a pastor, etc.).

I believe that there is nothing deeper to human beings than our faith. For believers of the King, He is the key to every problem we encounter in life. I respect that we are all at different places in our faith. While I believe that it is only by God's grace that we even live and breathe, I respect the pace and place of where other's are at. I also recognize that some of us have trust issues with God. I have been there. I want to walk with people and their issues, and help them grow in their faith so that they can eventually be set free to be all that God created them to be.

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.

Proponents of holistic health care are quickly recognizing the benefits of addressing spiritual health in therapy since this is a vital part of a person’s identity. Health is therefore tied to accepting all aspects of ourselves. As Spiritual Director David Benner states, “Only when you accept who you really are, can you become who you are most deeply called to be.” Spiritual beliefs have a powerful influence on our behaviour and view of the self, others, the world, and God and provide meaning, direction, and hope. However, for some, spiritual experiences have been harmful, damaging their identity and concept of God. Therapy can provide a place to process these affects on your health.
