Dr. Rochefort believes that depression is not a sign of weakness but rather a sign that the individual has over-demanded their personal resources. The "wet blanket" feel of depression is a huge barrier for progress forward in life. Dr. Rochefort works with individuals experiencing depression to accept, change, or adapt to adverse life circumstances, set goals and implement strategies for the future, change problematic thinking and behaviours, and develop skills to cope and overcome.

Depression is like a dark shroud that hovers over a person's existence making each day a perpetual struggle. Life in general is disrupted. The smallest daily life routine becomes impossible. People may be predisposed to depression, but there is not a gene that predetermines whether a person will experience the effects of the disease. The four pillars of healthy living include: developing a balanced eating plan; engaging in regular exercise, instilling good sleep hygiene and social connection. Cognitive Behaviour tends to be the gold seal approach when a client present with symptoms of depression. Other modalities also serve to help the client manage his/her/they depressive episodes.

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.

We target depression by addressing the underlying experiences and beliefs that contribute to it. Often, depressive responses are linked to unresolved memories of loss, shame, failure, or feeling unsafe. My approach helps the brain reprocess these experiences so they no longer trigger the same emotional and physiological distress. As clients integrate these memories with new, more adaptive perspectives, they often notice a lift in mood, reduced self-criticism, and greater motivation. The approach doesn’t just treat the symptoms of depression — it helps heal the roots.
