Christian Counseling Newberg, OR. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

In my experience of Christian culture, counseling and therapy doesn't have a great reputation. Therapy has often been viewed with wariness, like a counselor is going to cause you to change your behavior without your consent. If you've heard those messages too, let me reassure you that my approach to counseling isn't controlling or manipulative. We can help you get more in touch with what God is saying to you, and help you listen better to your own conscience. Questions about this approach? Reach out!

Faith and spirituality can provide comfort and meaning to those guided by their beliefs. I was raised in a Christian household myself so I have an appreciation for the values instilled by religion, the importance of tradition, and the strength of community. My approach to counseling is humanistic and welcoming of all spiritualities. Though I do not incorporate any specific pastoral counsel, I encourage my spiritual clients to draw on their beliefs during the counseling process.

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.

I believe that spiritual beliefs can play an important part in the healing process. I follow the client's lead in bringing spirituality in the room. I am not a pastoral counselor, and do not consider myself a biblical counselor. However, I am Christian, familiar with the Bible, and am comfortable with bringing Christian beliefs into the room if that is what is best for the client.

As a Christian, I place a high value on the written Word as well as the spirit that it was written in. I am not a theologian and will not pretend to be. I will, however, honor and respect the tenants of Christianity and be very sensitive to your Faith as you see it. I believe in prayer and respect and honor what that means to you as an individual without judgement.

I am a lifelong Christian and being a counselor is how I see myself living out Jesus' call for me to be in the world. I help my clients to find God's grace and peace at work in their lives. The parables that Jesus taught are powerful inspirations for deep reflection and application to clients' lives. The Psalms convey God's love, compassion and commitment to His people. Faith and spirituality are tremendous supports in people's lives and knowing that we have a loving God enables us to deal with great challenges in life.
