Depression Counseling in Mountain Brook, AL.

Have you lost interest in life? Do the things that used to bring joy leave you feeling empty and hopeless? This is called depression and it is more than a case of the blues or what others may name as self-pity or feeling sorry for yourself. It is often a lonely place to live especially when you don't recognize a way out. I can help you identify what's behind your depression as well as give you the tools to find your way out. Healing is possible and within reach.

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 comes when you shutdown to your emotional experience; to your aliveness. Your motivations and desires are negatively affected. Our work will allow you to open to those emotions and return to a state of aliveness. This is accomplished by our conversation/discussion examining in detail how you go through your daily life. I will ask you to enhance your awareness with tools such as daily journals, meditation, and dramwork. We will then use this awareness to take you deeper into your emotional experience. This is a naturally self reinforcing process.
