Depression Counseling in Beverly Hills, MI.

One of my favorite trick questions to ask patients hospitalized for depression was, "Is the sky ever grey?" Even though most of the time I TOLD them it was a trick question, they usually said, "Yes." Just like the sky only looks grey because clouds are covering up the sun, we can often FEEL "grey" when depression is covering us. My goal is to help you to get rid of the cloud so that your life can be what it was intended to be.

Depression can make even the simplest parts of life feel heavy, isolating, and overwhelming. It can cloud your thoughts, drain your energy, and affect your relationships. Therapy offers a supportive space to explore the roots of depression, develop healthy coping strategies, and reconnect with hope and purpose. You are not alone in your struggle. With the right support, healing is possible, and life can become lighter, more meaningful, and filled with new possibilities.

Depression can feel heavy. My goal in therapy is to help you understand the negative messages that you are sending to yourself that are keeping you feeling stuck and triggering low self-worth.

Depression is a TREATABLE illness. Let's get that out of the way! I know that depression can make you feel helpless, but you are not helpless. Taking the first step is asking for help. There is no “one size fits all” treatment that cures depression so a client should not expect immediate results. It is important to be realistic about your symptoms and your goals. Treatment takes time and commitment from both of us. You are not alone.

Have you been feeling down and blue lately? Have trouble sleeping at night, then can't get out of bed in the morning? Maybe your energy is really low and you don't feel like doing anything, not even those things that have brought you pleasure in the past? Counseling can definitely help you resolve this depression, and probably quicker than you think! I believe in using a mix of positive psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, DBT, and Behavioral Activation which will help you to better cope with what you're going through and improve your depression.

It is said that depression is anger turned inward. This is often true. It is also true that depression can be biological and physiological. We assess your depression through a depression inventory and identify what is best for you in terms of talk therapy or medication and/or both. Untreated depression leads to it getting worse causing folks to act on their suicidal thoughts and behaviors. It doesn't have to get that far. Help is available.

What you can benefit from when I treat you for depression is a healthier life with more hope and happiness. Often what I find is that there are circumstances that have hurt my client, sometimes without them even realizing the impact this has had in their life. I help them ID the unresolved problems, and then we can desensitize the impact in their lives. Let me help you!!!

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 is often a monkey on your back weighing you down. I think the television commercials that depict depression as this internal struggle that causes so much pain, while putting on a face for the outside world are, hit the nail on the head. Depression is very real, whether others around you see it or understand it. Depression can make you feel like you are living in a well of darkness. My approach is to help acknowledge where you are starting, why you got to where you are, help you learn new tools and strategies to overcome depression and help you find your way into the light.
