Depression Counselling in Ponoka, AB.

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.

Depression feels like a deep dark hole that you can't possibly see a way of getting out. Perhaps you have been slowly sliding in for years as life stressors and challenges built up, or maybe it has been a rapid decline with something unexpected knocking you off course. My approach to working with depression includes working towards small, manageable steps to help you feel more confident in yourself and your abilities. Therapy will be like dropping down a ladder into the hole - the path is there and I will help you learn how to climb each rung to get back out again. By the end of therapy, you will find that you can laugh more, have more energy, and enjoy life again.

Depression can occur in our lives when we have been under a great deal of stress or sometimes in reaction to life difficulties. It is a physical illness as much as an emotional mental illness. If you are suffering with depression, don’t continue to suffer alone. Counseling can help you know how to get well and how to make changes so you can stay well and enjoy life in the ways that fit who you are as a person. I use a combination of strategies based on positive psychology and cognitive behaviour therapy including exploring the beliefs you have that may be getting in the way of your happiness.
