Christian Counseling Croydon, PA. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

I attended Catholic grade school, high school and college. I have a special understanding of Catholicism. My experiences ranges from counseling Catholics who want to integrate religion into their therapy, to Catholics who struggle with aspects of the beliefs of the religion. I have a strong spiritual base that clients find to helpful, no matter what their religious beliefs may be.

In the gospel of Matthew, Jesus states “If your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.” This simple statement guides my approach to counseling. The light exists, and we sometimes need help to improve the soundness of our mental and emotional “eyes” to let more light into our personal awareness and influence our feelings, thoughts and behavior. I respect the sacred and unique way that each person experiences a relationship with God, especially during periods of mental, emotional, or relational distress. From my own study of the Bible, I am continually impressed by the applicability of Christian values and truth to issues of mental, emotional, and relational health.

When approaching counseling and Christianity, I work diligently to keep the teachings and morals of Scripture at the center of the session for clients who ask for it. Although at times necessary to challenge those who are coming to see me with the truths of the Bible, I also understand that slapping a Bible verse on an issue rarely ever helps someone who is struggling. I take time to understand the place my clients are at when they are coming to me, promote self-discovery as they process with me, and gently and lovingly give truth when needed.

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.
