Depression can range from mild sadness to clinical depression requiring hospitilization. Depression has many possible causes, from dealing with mourning, situalional i.e. problems at work, marital/family issues and or health concerns. Or depression can be caused due to a chemical imbalance of brain chemistry. We believe a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis vital in the treatment of all forms of depression, because epression can manifest in numerous forms. Our clinicians are trained in both traditional and holistic (total person wellness) philisophies. Thus ensuring the best possible assessment, diagnosis and treatment plan is developed for each client.

Depression is a debilitating illness that takes many forms. Here at Naya Clinic, we have seen it leave the strong feeling helpless and the passionate lose their fire. Depression—like grief—is characterized by sadness or a lack of motivation. However, grief is an overwhelming—albeit normal—emotional response to the tragedies of life, whereas depression persists beyond—or even in the absence of—these tragedies. Depression often takes the joy from once-pleasurable pastimes and can fill its victims’ heads with negative self-talk, or—at its worst—even cause thoughts of ending their lives.

Repression and suppression=depression. Whether your depression is rooted in recent trauma, or has been a long term challenge, assessing how you feel, determining your triggers, and developing coping strategies with the help of a caring, experienced professional will make the difference in your quality of life. Combining psychotherapy and hypnosis is sometimes the key to changing the way that you look at life. I can help.

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.
