Biblical and Christian Counseling in 11421: Woodhaven, NY.

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.

At a time when Christianity is often attacked, it is difficult to find a place where individual and family conflicts can be worked through in counseling that is supportive of Christian beliefs. I was raised as a Christian and can understand and empathize with those who practice a Christian way of life, as well as a conservative view of life. I also understand how at times religious beliefs can come into conflict with personal strivings and need to be resolved. Mental health comes when one's religious beliefs and one's life are in harmony and one can live free of anxiety and doubt.

At Transformation Counseling Services we believe the goal of therapy is to increase both psychological and spiritual wholeness, we work with many people from different walks of life as well as different faiths. That is why we pride ourselves on the diversity of our staff which includes therapist that are trained to provide Christian and faith based counseling. If you are looking for professional mental health counseling from a Biblical or spiritual perspective please contact us.

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.

I leverage a solution-based approach to clearly outline your primary challenge, work through an exercise to meditate on and define your future state and then work over 8 sessions to achieve it via homework and 1:1 sessions. Clients have experienced great success with this approach, my goal is to empower you - YOU have the answers and I want to help you find them.

I am an Ordained Minister in the Christian tradition and a Licensed Psychoanalyst. I will not dismiss your spiritual life, and at the same time will provide sound psychotherapeutic support. I believe in the integration of spirit, body, and mind. We can explore your questions about life and its connections to the spiritual life. We can explore your doubts about God. We can explore your fears or hopes about what happens after death.

I am skilled, knowledgeable, and have years of experience delivering spiritual and religious counseling to Christians and a variety of clients from other spiritual, religious groups, or perspectives, such as Jewish, Muslim, and Hindus, etc. Having taught world religions at the college level, I am comfortable with and have a diverse understanding of spirituality and religious thoughts within reasonable limits.

Counseling is a way to look at who we are. Spirituality is a big part of the human experience. It is my belief that within each of us is a beautiful soul. Some of us allow god to be a big part of our lives, while others question the concept of souls, god and spirituality. Wherever you may stand, you may still identify with a deeper part of yourself. You may call it whatever feels right for you. I would like to help bring that energy into the room (if it feels right for you) to help you heal, from accessing a wholesome, powerful, deep source within you.

I have been a Psychologist for 20 plus years. About 10 years ago, I took training in Pastoral Formation. After completing this program, I have been the chair of a Mental Health Ministry at a Catholic Church. Did you know that one of the best psychology books ever written was the Bible. In my therapy with clients who are open to their Christianity, we explore the use of their spirituality to help heal their wounds and create more fulfilled and meaningful life with " God" as the engine behind their personal power. The power of the spirit can enable tremendous personal and systemic growth and change.

Truth. There are many paths to the Truth and different Faiths that guide people on that meaningful journey. I have enormous respect for seeking the truth and finding your faith to guide you. Your values, morals, and ethics are your code to happy, healthy living. Living in line with these brings joy and contentment...always. Living OUT of line with these qualities brings distress. Explore where and how you can live more in-line with your value system and how your faith is a secure and loving nest to fall into as you do.

Though I work with many folks who are not Christian in a more secular format, I hold a special place in my heart for fellow believers. Working with Christians gives a whole new dimension as well as tools that we can use based on God's promises that are not available to people of other faiths or who are agnostic/atheists. Having the same experience of God gives an extraordinary and powerful basis to work together.

If your Christian faith is central to your life, it can be very powerful in incorporating your faith into your journey of healing. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, or other stressors, we can help. Our staff Christian counselor is a devout Christian personally as well as licensed counselor, and has training specifically in the integration of psychotherapy and biblical truths. Having a therapist who shares your faith and Christian worldview can be important in healing deep matters of the heart.

We offer counselors of different faiths in our practice, who may use general spiritual principles to help guide you, as you may need spiritual guidance and support. To be clear, we do not specifically offer Christian Counseling but we do offer spiritual guidance and support. We also have counselors who are of the Orthodox Jewish faith who can support a frum lifestyle and for those that need navigating general spirituality and faith issues.

The realm of faith and God-centered living can come with its own unique challenges and goals. I work to help individuals find solace through exploration of the mind, thoughts, and goals which are present and are keeping them from their intended purpose. We walk through motivation, aversion, and gradually build a framework that can be addressed in the world outside of our sessions.

Christian Counseling provides a platform for individuals to experience counseling intervention while maintaining that their faith is at the forefront of an activity explored. This type of intervention incorporates both the Christian faith as well as the ethical standards outlined in the Bible to create a specialized treatment lan a faith based individual can safely and ethically accept and work on in sessions.Often this type of therapy incorporates a pastor or priest to join in developing treatment goals.
