Depression Counseling in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

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 can color your world with a grayness that is hard to escape from. Depression can be very complex, involving a lot of heavy feelings and emotions.

Depression is an awful state to experience but the good news is that depression is treatable. Dr. Rozycki primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy given its proven effectiveness. With CBT the emphasis is on changing thoughts and behaviors that are contributing to the depressive state. You will learn specific strategies and exercises to increase your awareness of your thoughts, monitor your mood, look for patterns so that you know what patterns to break, and begin to introduce thoughts that are more balanced. You'll also incorporate behavioral activation to get involved in your life again. We'll also consider how the depression developed to avoid the return of depression in the future.

Sometimes we think of depression as being "stuck"or being "at the bottom of a pit." I believe that strategies for avoiding or withdrawing from the dull pain of depression often contain the very hooks that keep the blues rigidly in place. I work with you to explore the situational, contextual, and emotional aspects of your depression and collaborate with you to get unstuck, raise the bottom of the pit to a better place for you, and ban the blues for good.

When was the last time you felt real joy or happiness? "Cheer up!" They say. Your friends try to help, if any of them are still standing by you, but it just isn't that easy. Of course, we all want to know "Why do I feel this way?" There are many causes for depression. With over 20 years of experience, I can help explore the most common causes of what we would call "clinical depression." I can also help find some solutions. According to the research, the most effective way to address depression is by simply making a few easy changes in your thinking. You can feel better. Let's get started today.

We have an epidemic of depression in our culture. Depression has it's roots in how we learn to express our feelings...or not express them. We are often taught that it's ok to feel happy, but not sad. Keep that smile on your face. Don't air dirty laundry in public. Not being able to express your feelings can easily lead to depression.

Depression is both common and very treatable. I use proven techniques to help people recover and even grow stronger when they are depressed. Depression is considered to be an illness. I tend to view depression as a coping mechanism. We often react to life's problems by retreating into depression. Depression is not really a feeling - it's more like hopelessness and powerlessness. It doesn't feel like it, but there is hope! I help people to change the way they think about themselves and their situations, and teach them tools that result in feelings of empowerment and even self-love.

Depression can leave you feeling like even the simplest tasks are impossible. Overtime you can start feeling guilt or shame about how hard life feels for you and isolate yourself.

Therapy is a safe space to express and feel your emotions and find accountability for moving towards your goals.

“The Impossible Task”…if you’ve ever struggled with depression you get it. Something that ought to be so easy; sending that email, taking a shower, making the kids lunch, or walking the dog feels as if it’s insurmountable. Well-meaning friends and family aren’t very helpful when they suggest things like, “Just get dressed and exercise. It’ll make you feel better.” I get it. Calling a therapist might be the hardest thing you ever do. If you can take this one step, we’ll walk the rest of the way together.

Simply finding the energy to search out options for a therapist shows your desire to get better. And that is something to hold on to as tightly as you can.
