Depression Counseling in Maitland, FL.

Depression is often referred to as "anger turned inward." When you struggle with depression, motivation is often the greatest challenge. Therapy can help to provide support as you begin to clear the fog that makes moving forward so overwhelming. We will work together to identify ways you can take better care of yourself, rejuvenate your energy and find the courage to take the next step. Tools such as meditation and hypnotherapy can be utilized to help develop a stronger relationship with yourself. When appropriate, medication may be discussed and pursued at your own discretion.

As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist for over 17 years ,my goal is to teach clients how our negative self talk, that little voice that always reminds us of our faults, shortcomings and mistakes, is the basis for low self esteem and depression. Essentially, what we "think" is what we "feel". By learning to identify these irrational and destructive thoughts and utilize effective strategies to challenge and reframe our self talk and behavior, we can reshape our self concept and begin to live the life that we deserve and desire

Much of my practice focuses on persons suffering from depression. Clients include college age students, young and middle-aged adults as well as the elderly. I engage a number of beneficial therapy modalities including: crisis intervention, psychoeducation, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic narrative, guided imagery and critical stress debriefing. Due to the high prevalance of cooccurence specifically anxiety, sleep disturbance and depression, integrative therapy modalities are employed.

If you’re feeling down, are lacking motivation, or lacking motivation, you’re not alone. The demands of work and home life can take a toll on any man. Not many understand the unique pressures you face, and this can be frustrating, lonely, and isolating. Whether you feel like things are falling apart, or you’re still hiding it pretty well, there is hope. I often use EMDR therapy and a faith-based perspective to help men uncover and heal the source of their issues, and discover their peace, hope, and motivation in life. One of the insidious parts of depression is that while you’re in the fog, it’s hard to be objective. I will help you walk through this fog until we get to the other side.

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.
