Depression Counseling in South Pasadena, FL.

It's been estimated that in the U.S. 6.7% of all adults aged 18 or older had at least one major depressive episode in the past year. Very few of these people receive any treatment to help reduce the depressive symptoms. I formulate an individualized treatment plan to begin reducing the symptoms baed on their background and history. This is primarily a cognitive-behavioral approach, whereas the client can begin to identify the negative thoughts that can intensify the depression. We come up with ways to neutralize these thoughts, while also beginning to create new positive thoughts. There is also an emphasis on slowly engaging in behaviors that offset the depressive symptoms.

Depression drains your energy, motivation and zest for life. Depression is also a sign that some part of you needs attending to. In therapy we work to identify root causes of depressed moods and develop new ways of coping that strengthen and empower you to move forward in a way that is right for you. Together we will transform depression into expression and allow new and freeing energy to emerge.

Depression can develop for multiple reasons. By taking a holistic approach we can chip away at the issues contributing to your depression on multiple fronts. This allows you to decide which areas to focus on while you build back your strength. Along with traditional psychotherapy we also offer nutritional supplementation recommendations, biofeedback relaxation, brain health assessment and EMDR to support your success in treatment. Don't be discouraged. With identifying how your brain uniquely works and the holistic treatments we offer, this far more targeted treatment can bring you the real and lasting change you want.

“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.

Do you find that you often struggle to get out of bed on a daily basis? Are you struggling with completing daily tasks and often feel overwhelmed with sadness and a sense of hopelessness? Together we can emphasize on navigating these feelings through validation and tolerance, by incorporating mindfulness and relaxation techniques, learning how to tolerate painful emotions, and even experiences that seem unbearable. We will also work together to learn how to manage, change, and accept different emotions, so that your emotions ultimately don't control you. I will also help you identify any behavioural changes that could help improve your mood.

A human being's mind is so powerful that it can either enhance him/her or bring him/her down. The mind itself is inherently powerful: whether that power is used negatively or positively, accidentally or purposefully, depends to some extent on a person's knowledge and experience. My approach with a client who feels depressed is to listen closely and discover how they think, feel, and act. Working with the client on these three factors, and how they interact, can help them reclaim their own well-being and realize they are actually the author of their mind's power.

Experiencing depression can often make you feel lost, vulnerable, and completely lose interest in things that you once loved.

Many people feel they may be "depressed" and therefore seek out the assistance of a therapist. First we must determine if you have a clinical depression. The term depression is used widely but often an individual is just feeling sad about an event and does not have a true clinical depression. This will involve a thorough assessment. Your concerns will be the focus of therapy. We may include your family and/or friends as needed. Recommending medication is never my first choice, but in some cases, a referral to your Primary Care Physician or a Psychiatrist for medication evaluation may be helpful to take the edge off of symptoms so you can work more effectively in session.

Depression robs you of the feeling of well-being, causing you to feel debilitated by depriving you of energy. To some people, it feels like falling down, trying to get up, and fall right back down. I want to take a look with you to understand what's keeping you stuck in the dreadful feeling of depression. We can team up to say "goodbye" to depression and "hello" to the feeling of well-being. I have helped many clients live lives dominated by a feeling of well-being.

Depression is very mentally challenging. It can make you feel as if the world is coming to an end. Depression effects most areas of life such as self esteem, relationships with your partner, family, job, coworkers and friends. It influences our motivation, keeping us from doing things that we once previously enjoyed doing. To combat depression, I use a model of treatment called CBT or Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy that is very effective in treating depression. Another treatment method used is behavioral activation, which is just as effective, if not even more effective than medication. All treatment plans are person centered based on the individuals needs.

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. Let me help untangle the emotions and heal the pain. My job is to listen and find out gradually where the wound is - and then heal it. You don't have to live with the pain- let's work on it 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.
