Biblical and Christian Counseling in 34772: Saint Cloud, FL.

I am absolutely nothing without my relationship with Jesus Christ. That relationship motivates everything I do. I believe there are issues that can only be solved through a relationship with Christ; however, I believe we can sometimes over spiritualize things. With my pastoral background combined with my training as a counselor, we can develop together a practical yet biblical way to address your concerns and struggles. I will also never force my biblical views and convictions on anyone including my clients.

Our approach to Christian counseling starts with learning the client’s spiritual history and their Christain walk. We adopt a systematic approach by integrating Christ-based principles in therapy. A clinical spiritual assessment is conducted prior to the implementation of any prescribe treatment approach, thereby achieving consistently favorable outcomes. For example, we use the FICA tool: faith, importance, community, and address: • Do you consider yourself a person of faith and how would you describe your faith tradition? • What importance does your faith have in your life? • Are you a member of a local church or faith community? • How would you like me to address these spiritual matter?

Faith does not shield us from life’s challenges. Even as Christians, we may face seasons of emotional struggle, illness, grief, or relationship pain. My goal in Christian counseling is to walk with you through these difficulties in a way that strengthens your faith and reminds you of the hope and purpose God has for your life. While following Christ in today’s world can feel overwhelming at times, I believe that God always provides a path forward. Together, we can seek healing, peace, and restoration through both sound therapeutic practice and the sustaining truth of God’s Word.

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 evolve 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

As Jennifer's practice is located in a Catholic Church, which she attends she is open to offering a Christian counseling experience. She encourages client's with a Christian religious preference to discuss that with her upon first contact. Jennifer uses prayer and the Bible Christian authors and other specifically Christian sources to facilitate Christian counseling.

God promises that we can know the truth and the truth can set us free. This is the foundation for counseling. When clients have faith in God, that can be a wonderful resource for them in their healing journey. False beliefs can cause painful emotions and relational dysfunctions. Sometimes we need help understanding God's truths and how they apply to our lives. This is where a trained therapist who also has a strong faith can come alongside and help, combining the best of psychotherapy with Biblical truth.

As a certified pastoral counselor with sixteen years of experience, I meet the client where they are and integrate scripture and psychology as desired and appropriate for the client. Having earned a Master of Divinity degree and a master's degree in counseling and psychology I have a foundation for Christian counseling that the majority of other Christian therapists do not. I have also taught and supervised students in offering Christian counseling in multiple institutions while also serving as a pastor with specific responsibilities in the areas of pastoral care and counseling.
