Depression comes from emotions that are stuck in the system and haven't been given the freedom to move; often anger and sadness. The key to working with depression is to get to the root of the stuck energy and emotions and give them the space to be felt and expressed. Depression is a signal that something in your life is not functioning in a way that supports your well-being. I'm here to support you in getting to the root of the depression in a compassionate, kind way that supports you being with yourself and moving forward with your life.

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?

We can use mindfulness techniques to work with difficult emotions or a lack of emotions day to day. Exercise, diet, sleep and many daily activities can be utilized to help with difficult times. Self care is an exploration. I support the use of medications when needed depending on what you want to do. I take an individualized approach so the process depends on how you want to approach it and what your needs are.

If you are experiencing situational or chronic depression, you need help. In a safe environment, we will explore the experiences and thought processes that lead to depression. Then, by reframing, I will help you keep what is true and discard the incorrect beliefs that caused your depression in the first place. I will encourage self-care as a way to manage and improve your mood including walking, journal writing and developing a strong social network. I will also explain the role of the brain in depression and discuss how medication can help.

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed with life. Even the simplest tasks feel like they take too much effort. Depression can rob you of the energy and desire to live a fulfilling, productive life.

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.

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.

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

Life is hard and many people suffer from some form of depression during their lifetime. In some ways, depression can be a healthy indicator that something isn't working. Like other symptoms, finding out and understanding the root cause of your depression is the goal, not just the management of that symptom. Depression can be burdensome and can impact the quality of your life and of those around you. I can help you understand yourself better, your needs, and help you live in more congruence with who you are.

Depression and anxiety can feel overwhelming and hinder your ability to enjoy life.
