Depression Counseling in Oak Hill, FL.

It can be difficult to accomplish anything when you are depressed. The smallest tasks seem impossible. Do you wish you could return to feeling like your normal self? I will help you uncover the habits, relationships, or events that have contributed to your depression. Being intentional about tuning into yourself, and a willingness to expand your comfort zone will be critical in this process. I will help you reclaim the parts of yourself that depression has stolen, and put frameworks into place to prevent it from happening again.

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. Your well-being is my utmost priority and I look forward to the opportunity to work together!

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.

I have helped adult, adolescent and children struggling with depression and mood disorders become happier and more productive through the use of cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, narrative, acceptance and commitment, and mindfulness-based therapies. I also encourage clients to explore lifestyle choices that may help them deal with depression and other mood issues.

If you feel depressed, you may be frustrated because you don’t know why. On the other hand, you may know why you feel depressed but the symptoms don’t subside. Many times we are still affected in the present by painful events of our past. We can’t change our past. However, we can change how the past is affecting us today. With every hurtful event comes emotional pain and a negative belief about you. In psychotherapy with me, that event can be processed in a way that removes the pain and replaces the negative belief with a positive belief of your choosing. This process can reduce and eliminate the symptoms of depression. Go to emdr.com for more information and research on this process.

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

You did not choose depression, and it is not something that can simply be “shaken off.” Depression is real, life-altering, and can convince you that happiness or peace will never return. Yet depression does not define you. Together, we can acknowledge its weight while also challenging the painful story it tells. My role is to walk with you through the heaviness, to hold space for the difficulty, and to help you discover that hope and healing are possible. You do not have to face this alone.

You don't have to live with the pain- let's work on it together.
