Research shows that the most effective treatment for depression is psychotherapy. Depression can range from feeling down to major symptoms such as having trouble even getting out of bed or contemplating suicide (if you have suicidal thoughts or plans, call the National Suicide Prevention Line at 1-800-273-8255). Online counseling is effective for depression because it is easy to access: you can start treatment without even leaving the house.

If you are struggling with depression, it may be difficult to even make the effort to contact a counselor and set up a session, which is completely understandable. Just know that the effort you put in towards seeing a counselor, myself or someone else, will pay off tremendously later on. I will help you in an exploration of the potential sources of your depression, but more importantly, I will help you find ways to decrease the depression when possible, and find healthy ways to cope with its symptoms, to live a better, happier life.

Depression is a condition that can cause prolonged feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and withdrawal from daily life.

With God's support and the power of Restoration Therapy, I believe that you can regain what you've lost and find a brighter future.

I work with clients experiencing clinical and/or situational depression. We use a combination of CBT, EMDR and other modalities to uncover the roots of depression and to make us aware of our triggers and thought patterns. Through self-awareness and self-compassion, clients discover new ways of looking at their world which align with their values. Depression can be overwhelming and paralyzing and we work together to understand, unravel and empower you for turning the page on a new chapter.

Depression is an interesting mood state in that there may be differing levels of intensity. What I have learned over the years is that before we have learned to speak, we are taking in everything around us through our sense of hearing, sight, and touch. Our brain processes the information when our brain isn't fully developed. We process the best we can and out of that we develop a core message about ourselves based on our early experiences. Many people develop the core message "I'm not good enough." Then we develop relationships with friends and intimate partners that reinforce that core message. We engage in negative self-talk.The great thing is, we can reprogram our message.

If you live with someone who is depressed and see their day-to-day life, you may be confused and even afraid at times.

You may not know much about the causes of depression, how it's diagnosed, or what treatment options are available. There are many things God can do through us to educate you about your loved one's experience with depression, but you also need to take care of your own mental health and well-being.

I work with a depressed nervous system by working with the body. Often we struggle to sleep, eat, or accomplish relatively simple tasks. Our bodies are stuck with the brake on. When our body thinks it is futile, out mind follows quickly thereafter and we begin to tell ourselves how pointless things are and how worthless we are. I work with the whole body to re-regulate the body to enable you to get back to a whole integrated self.

Are you depressed? Depression is often best treated using REBT and CBT in combination with exercise, nutritional changes, and/or medication. Depending upon what is going on, it is possible that I will ask you to begin to increase activities that will eventually promote a sense of satisfaction, pleasure, and accomplishment. We will also work on how your thinking affects your mood, so you can learn to feel better. We will work on your interpersonal relationships, teaching you how to receive positive reinforcement and enhance the opportunities for this. We will also work on teaching you to positively reinforce yourself.

Do you feel discouraged about the future? Do you feel as if things that used to be pleasurable no longer are pleasurable to you? Or maybe you feel a sense of disappointment in yourself? You compare yourself to others and feel shame that you are not where you think you "should" be in life? Feeling low, sad, having low motivation, and feelings of guilt and shame are symptoms of depression. If you are currently experiencing one or more of these symptoms, I want to let you know you do not have to go through this alone. Through our work together, we would uncover each of the areas that are making you feel depressed and find ways to make yourself feel like YOU again.

Depression has an element of the past living in the now. Hope is lost if all we can see, feel or remember is how things were. How things went wrong. How things were bad. How things were better. It is easy to stop doing things that bring us a feeling of fulfillment and comfort and slip into seemingly unending......nothing. Nothing changes, nothing is better, nothing helps. The past can be a great opportunity to learn or change but it belongs where it is.

I offer confidential and non-judgemental counseling to help people overcome their depression or suicidal thoughts. Depression can show itself with many different symptoms including, but not limited to feelings of sadness, anger, fatigue, guilt, insomnia, shame, and worthlessness. Depression does not mean the person never smiles, it may show itself when you are alone, or you may experience mood swings. Suicidal thoughts and other self-harming behaviors happen when a person feels overwhelmed by the depression. It is critical that someone who has suicidal thoughts be seen as quickly as possible: CALL NOW!

Depression is past. Anxiety is future. Untreated shame and guilt can often lead to depression, along with low self-worth and self-esteem.

Grey Matters International, Inc. and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D. handles depression and other emotional disorders in a very unique way. Most of therapy or counseling processes utilize validation, unconditional positive regard, and reframing as common techniques to get someone to heal from their depression. Though this can be helpful, it rarely fixes the core problem behind it and for tough cases we then refer them usually to a psychiatrist for medication which can have tons of side effects. Instead, why not try a natural and arguably more effective way to not just change your mind, but change the brain--where the depression is rooted. Contact us at kevin@kevinflemingphd.com.
