Christian Counseling North Salem, NY. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

Christian Counseling can take you into a peaceful setting, for you to be at your inner-self. My private environment, and private office will help heal any irrational thoughts you might have. At times a commercial setting can be irritating and uncomfortable to be at peace. Certainly we might find God to be the answer, but, we have to first find ourselves and inner feelings to strenghtened any irrational thoughts to rational thoughts.

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.

Having a religious philosophy can benefit clients with these views. Worldview and Philosophy are powerful inner beliefs that clients possess. Chris has worked with many clients with Christian beliefs by respecting beliefs and integrating this into powerful and solutions oriented counseling. For example...." He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her" - A Bible quote that offers a viewpoint can be merged into good counseling. The quote talks about looking at ourselves before we judge others. The concept can be identified as lets look at ourselves before we blame others. This works well in individual or couples therapy to have clients look at their own motivations.

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.

Jewish clients sometimes want to visit a Jewish psychologist. I am Jewish, have raised my children Jewish and have married within my faith. However, regardless of the religion of my clients I am extremely respectful of all faiths...even of those who have lost their faith whether it be Jewish/Christian or any other religion or non-belief system. Sometimes through trauma or illness people have lost their former relationship with God and are searching for answers and need to express anger and doubt. I provide a place for all those who need to speak to a careful impartial listener. We do not need to be the same religons for me to help.

I am a deeply spiritual Jewish person, and utilize a spiritual and existential perspective to organize my thinking and my work with patients. The phenomenon of the intergenerational passage of psychological issues, defenses, and abusive behavior relates to a well known quote from Isiah, that "the fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children's teeth are set on edge." Another biblical quotation I find useful in working to reduce guilt and imrpove personal strength and healthy entitlement, is, "If I am not for me, who will be?"

Clients who seek Christian Counseling are unique - I like to work with clients who are interested in this type of counseling by using scripture to help them spiritually manage whatever worldly challenges and anxieties that they are currently facing. As a Christian Counselor I believe that the answers and guidance we need to do this can be found through prayer and in the Bible. Philippians 4:6
