It often leaves people feeling helpless and hopeless, and can manifest in so many ways including, difficulties with eating, sleeping, socializing, work, relationships, and so on.

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.

When a client comes in with concerns linked to their experience of depression, I take an integrative approach (i.e., pull from a variety of different types of therapies), through a trauma-informed lens.

I consider context reflective of one's environment, along with familial background. Factors such as SES (socioeconomic status), race, ethnicity, sexuality, and ability status, as well as other additional factors, have an impact on our mental wealth and well-being.
