Depression and/or anxiety can be debilitating and may lead you to a scary place . I use a variety of clinical interventions and cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT) to overcome internal obstacles that may be getting in the way of enjoying life. Depression can keep a person stuck in the same place for years without any progress. Depression, if left untreated, may also become a thought disorder and that can be addictive.

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.

It can be extremely difficult to feel down, have no interest in activities, having a loss of energy or motivation, and difficulty sleeping most days out of the week. I help educate on the difference between sadness and depression. I help clients identify unhelpful stuck thought patterns that can be aiding in the depression, and ways to change these thought patterns to something more positive and adaptive. I teach behavior modification skills to help increase motivation.

Depression can be very lonely, because even if you want to feel better and try to, you just can't. This can lead to feeling helpless and hopeless. Many factors both biological and environmental contribute to the onset of depression, and it is important to look at and address each element in conjunction with one another to experience long term relief. I am trained to view people holistically in order to provide help and hope to those struggling with depression.

Feeling the lowest you ever have can seem impossible to build from. I take a brain-based approach to depression to help you learn to rewire your brain away from the negative and to learn to build more on the positive side of things. We dig deep to try to find the different areas of your life that you do have control over. I offer support, compassion, and love through this process because when you are feeling depressed, finding any positive can be difficult. I will walk with you every step of the way.

Depression is a complex problem that affects many different aspects of the sufferer’s life. It can affect the body, and generate physical symptoms like insomnia, fatigue, appetite disturbances, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Psychotherapy and antidepressant medications are the two most commonly used treatments for managing depression. Many people use a combination of the two. Psychotherapy is a non-drug alternative that is generally as effective as medication, and in some ways even superior because it treats the root causes of depression. In my practice I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to replace the dysfunctional thoughts that are causing depressive symptoms with functional thoughts.

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 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.

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.

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.

Just like anger depression is your body's way of saying something is wrong. Many say depression it is anger turned inward. My idea is that depression is telling you to take care of yourself, rest, slow down, cocoon, look inward, cry. Wouldn't it be a gift to allow these things to take place in your body and soul? Though many people fight depression or judge depressed people as just lazy or unmotivated. How different would it be if we learned to honor depression and work through it and not against it?

In depression you are caught in the past! You fear that your future will only be a replication of the misery and poor behavior choises that have been your past. You get caught in obsessive loops of thoughts and cannot break free. Your feelings become blunted and your optimism is eroded. I can help you escape from the cages in your mind and the dullness of your current life. With or without medication, I will help you to learn and use techniques to gain freedom and recapture your emotional depth. You will learn to live more fully in the present moment, to criticise yourself less, and to appreciate the newly percieved options that surround you.

Maybe you've lost joy in things you used to love. Does it feel like life is overwhelming all the time and you can never catch a break? Perhaps you feel like there are weights holding you down, even when you try to do routine daily activities. Together we'll work on lightening your load and regaining your joy by exploring and caring for you! You can break free from the prison of depression and shed the weights that hold you down.

The first step in dealing with depression is psycho/educational regarding the physical connections between medical issues and depression. All clients should have a full medical work up and rule out the possibility of medical causes with depression. Lifestyle choices, diet, sleep hygiene, exercise and relational boundaries will be explored during treatment of depression. In a sense, "depressed" symptoms can be connected to a multitude of causes. The traditional psychodynamic approach in embracing our stories honestly and examining our relational tendencies to repress the uncomfortable parts of our past will also be utilized to liberate the client from the pain of depression.

Are you stuck reliving the past while feeling hopeless about today and tomorrow? If so, I can help. I will help you look forward to a future free of depression and help you to create a day-to-day path that will get you beyond the hopelessness that you are experiencing. I will help you reignite your passion for life, relationships, hobbies, and career. I will help you to achieve your goal of being depression free.

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.

Depression can be nothing short of crippling. Never being able to get out of bed. Telling people you love that you are fine when you are not. Feeling like no one understands. Other people can't relate to you anymore. Feeling along when you are surrounded by people. Depression can affect anyone. Doesn't matter who you are, where you are, what you have, who you have, what you have accomplished, or what you believe. You can't suck it up, power through, get tough, and a bunch of other sayings or clichés that mean nothing. Depression takes no prisoners. It does not discriminate. Depression is the great equalizer for everyone. However, you do not have to suffer with depression.

I work with you to not only learn skills to reduce your depression, but also give you a place to really process where these concerns could be coming from. Depression is not just a state of mind but it can also be genetic. I will work with you to find out exactly how your depression effects you and how to improve it. Let's work together to start your therapeutic journey today.

Depression can like a heavy weight that cannot be lifted, and in our culture, we are always supposed to be "up", not "down", which can cause people to feel ashamed and embarrassed about how they feel. In order to help someone suffering from depression, I work with clients to help them understand and embrace their pain, so that they can live a more wholesome life.

Depression is not limited to the adult population. Children and teens battle with depression as well; however, the symptoms look different than adults. Depression effects how a child and teen feels, thinks and acts. Some common symptoms may be: * low- self esteem * irritability and anger * difficulties with relationships * sensitive to failure * crying more than usual and fearful I would like to help your child/ teen discover where the depression is coming from and provide your child/teen with the strategies and tools to reduce the intense feelings of hopelessness and loneliness.
