Depression Counseling in Scottsdale, AZ.

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 is a mood disorder that can cause a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest that can interfere with daily functioning. Reaching out for help is a step towards wellness. Symptoms of depression can vary from person to person, but it is a very treatable condition. Therapy for depression helps you overcome the feelings of hopelessness and despair and to gain control of your life.

I utilize several modalities to treat depression from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulfulness Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy and Psychodynamic techniques. We believe in a holistic approach to treating Depression as it requires a flexible approach.

Some clients know that they are depressed and others need guidance in putting a name to their symptoms. In working with clients who struggle with depression, my role is to educate them on what depression can look like , examine its origin and whether it's situational or chemically based and confront and challenge maladaptive ways of thinking that affect how they view themselves, others and the world. Through this experience, clients can feel empowered in their lives.
