Each person experiences being stuck, and unable to get out of the deep whole they are in. While most people are able to some how pull themselves out, some individuals are not. I work with individuals, and some times their families, to being positive changes to the core beliefs that have created the deep tracks that keep some people stuck in depression. Understanding why you are depressed can help, and knowing the steps to build a strong working foundation of support and the ability to get "unstuck" is the major focus of my therapy for helping people who feel stuck and depressed. Increasing qulaity of life is part of treatment, along with understanding and recognizing choices beyond the past.

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.
