Christian Counselling Ottawa, ON. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

At Valiant Recovery, we strive to treat the body, soul and spirit of everyone who comes to us for help. The hurts and injuries of people struggling with addiction might be spiritual in nature, which warrants a spiritual course of treatment. Our beliefs are Christian and we offer a variety of biblical based programs. We understand that every client will bring their own unique perspective to matters of faith and spirituality, and we encourage their right to decide for themselves what they believe. All spiritual counseling is optional and will be provided upon request. During the initial intake, clients are asked if they are open to spiritual direction.

Are yoin the midst of a troubling life event like the death of a loved one or pet, the loss of a job, declining health, financial problems, and/or relationship issues? Being reminded that having a strong and resilient faith can be a very supportive and powerful intervention.

Learn to Let Go & Let God. Live with Faith!

I offer Christian counselling specific to the needs of each client. Christian counselling can allow people to integrate their faith into the therapy process while dealing with emotional disturbances or to explore issues particularly associated with their spirituality. Any good approach should be looking to connect clients to the highest level of coping that they have access to. I find that deliberately drawing on a client's faith and relationship with God, can provide them with a powerful source of comfort that can help them transition to greater mental and emotional health.

When considering Christian Counselling, I think of the following principals: 1. Christian Counselling is offered by counsellors or therapists who are Christians, and who bring an understanding of the Christian faith to the counseling sessions, 2. While many of the issues people bring to counselling are not explicitly religious in nature, there is a dynamic, implicit directionality in the overall Christian Counselling process, 3. Christian counselling draws upon knowledge from many fields including psychology, and views all health and restorative processes and wholesome outcomes, and 4. What makes counselling Christian, is not that the process is essentially different from other r....

Many people who hold a belief in a higher power find themselves at some point in their life struggling with doubts about their beliefs. Through the process of verbalizing these faith-based doubts, our experience is normalized and we can gain acceptance of our position today. From this acceptance comes possibilities for opening up to new understandings. Additionally, the ability to call upon the belief of something or someone greater than ourselves can offer us immeasurable strength to proactively take care of life's numerous challenges, eventually allowing us to relinquish the outcome to this higher power.

“And for those who fear Allah, He always prepares a way out, and He provides for him from sources he never could imagine. And if anyone puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is Allah for him. For Allah will surely accomplish His purpose: verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion.” (Quran, 65: 2-3)

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.
