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

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.

People often want Christian counselling so they can include their spiritual beliefs in a receptive environment. You may want to have your faith principles, practices and scripture included as support, guidance, or even as an area of questioning or concern. As a Christian myself and a trained pastoral counsellor as well as an experienced Registered Marriage & Family Therapist I offer professional therapy to individuals, couples and families and will respectfully include the spiritual side of your life as that fits for you. I invite you to contact me for support in exploring and navigating any challenges you or your family are experiencing, with respect and including your faith perspective.

Many christians, like anyone else, go through life facing challenges such as relationship conflicts, parenting, marital problems, mental health issues, and more.

As a christian and a registered counselor, I bring an understanding of challenges through the lense of God’s Word, and help to better understand the causes of your challenges. I invite you to contact me, I will help and support you.

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.

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.

My Christian clients are seen individually or as a family. I provide Biblically based counseling support to my clients as they work on whatever issues are contributing to their distress and difficulties in life. I see Christian clients who are dealing with mental health challenges, interpersonal issues, issues with their spirituality, workplace and career issues, among others. I am a Registered Social Worker with a Christian background; I have an MSW and a BSW degrees. I am currently a Ph.D. student in Christian Counseling and Community Care at the Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid, John 14:27.

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....

We will engage with any client's religious or spiritual persuasion, including a Christian perspective. The Counsellors are trained to incorporate the individual's or couples' belief systems as they establish a treatment plan for them. Allowing for personal faith traditions within the context of pastoral counselling, can help identify otherwise hidden differences in opinion, faith and practice.

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.

The latest psychological research shows that spiritual pratices and beliefs are a very potent source for overcoming and coping with the harsh realities of life. At Elim our counsellors, in addition to being Christians, are specially trained in understanding the interplay between the spiritual and the problems that people face. For example a Christian client who is dealing with a divorce may also be dealing with the questions of why did God allow it to happen and may also be wrestling with identity issues as a divorced person in his/her faith group. These kind of issues require trained Christian therapists who understands spiritual beliefs and who are aware of the Christian culture.
