At Wellness Centered we believe that depression is an extremely common condition which, statistics say, can affect more than one in ten people regardless of age, gender or historical background. Depression can be in response to a traumatic event or loss but often it occurs for no apparent reason. A depressed person may feel isolated and lonely and may think no one around them understands how they feel. Our aim is to help you resolve these feelings by helping you understand your depression and why it might be occurring in the first place and together identify and break the negative thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are interfering with your right to enjoy your life.

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.

Research has clearly demonstrated that mindfulness-based approaches to depression are so powerful that they can reduce the chances of having a relapse by 50%! That's a big deal. A depressed mind is busy creating all kinds of negative thoughts. Mindfulness-based therapy will teach you a new way to relate to your thoughts. You don't have to believe everything you think! Especially the bad stuff, becuse it's often not true.
