Depression Counseling in Edgewater, CO.

Depression may show up in a variety of different ways for you; you may notice that you are feeling deeply sad, lonely, and alone. You may also be noticing that you are lacking in energy, inspiration, and motivation. Depression or overwhelming feelings of sadness and despair are often clues that something deeper is going on within your psyche and within your body. More often than not there is a reason for your depression, even when you are not consciously aware of it. Your body doesn't speak in words, the way your mind does, rather it communicates with you through your feelings, sensations, and emotions. Often ignoring your emotions can intensify your feelings of depression.

Be with the feelings of depression, by sending love... Then, practice looking for the gifts that come your way every day. Explore ways to turn the challenges you have everyday into opportunities. Practice using music to turn negative feelings into positive possibilities. Let go of the old ways of thinking and create your new ways that energize you and reset your mindset!

Sometimes, life can feel really hard. You've got the blues and you just can't seem to shake them. You know you just aren't feeling like yourself, but you aren't sure what to do to pull yourself out of the pit. Here at Thrive, we offer a compassionate and safe place for you to work through feelings of depression. We will help you make sense of your challenges, understand your experiences, and craft a plan to put your life back on track. We would love to be that caring support in your corner, pulling for your healing.

Depression often signals a system that’s gone into protective shutdown. I approach it with curiosity, using body and mindfulness-based practices to gently awaken your nervous system and bring you safely and comfortably back into the driver's seat of your life. By tuning into what your system has been trying to protect you from, we create room for motivation, pleasure, and connection to return naturally, rather than forcing positivity.

Depression and the symptoms that each person copes with can be unique and often individual to your experiences. My goal as a therapist is to combine my therapeutic knowledge and your expertise on who you are, to help empower you to learn about yourself, your distinct relationship with Depression, and to help you take charge of the change you want to see happen in your life.

Depression can leave people feeling disconnected, depleted, or stuck. Therapy takes a trauma-informed, relational approach, helping clients understand how depression may be connected to past experiences, attachment patterns, or nervous system overwhelm. Through experiential and evidence-based interventions, clients often develop practical tools for emotional regulation, increased self-compassion, and renewed engagement in daily life, relationships, and a sense of meaning over time.

When working with depression, I use a combination of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), talk therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when working with adults and teens and play therapy when working with children. If there is a clinical depression diagnosis, Neurofeedback or consulting a doctor about medication options may also be recommended as a part of the treatment process.

If you feel as if you have sunk into a hole or feel isolated from the world or are stuck and cannot find your way, I'm here to tell you that you are not alone. Depression can feel make people feel lonely and helpless. I provide a warm, empathic & supportive environment for my clients to feel safe. We will work together to sort out your feelings & explore methods that will help you get to the other side of your depression and find relief from your suffering.

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.

Whether depression has been present since early childhood or came on after a challenging situation, depression makes everything in life harder. The feelings of depression can be intense and overwhelming, they can also be dull and numb. In counseling we take the times to explore what your experience of depression is like for you and create a plan reconnect to your most meaningful life. One of my primary therapeutic approaches is ACT-Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. In this model we learn many tools and interventions to release the grip of the struggle from our internal and external experiences, and start moving towards the things that really matter, give your life meaning value.
