Depression Counseling in Bloomfield, MI.

Does each day feel like a struugle? Do you have a profound sense of sadness? Do you feel empty and lack interest in the activites you once enjoyed? These are all signs of depression. Depression can be triggered by a major event or the build up of many experiences that we carry with us over a lifetime. There can also be underlying bio-chemical causes. I specialize in the treatment of depression and start with a thorough understanding of your unique circumstances. From there we develop a treatment plan that can include processing and resolving past hurts and resentments, learning cognitive behavioral techniques to stop negative thinking and plans for self care.

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.

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

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.

I am a psychotherapist who understands life can feel like a daily struggle. No one should have to endure these feelings alone. As a professional counselor, I compassionately listen and support clients as well as offer a therapeutic relationship that provides clients the opportunity to emotionally move forward and bring a healthy balance back into their lives. It is possible to heal, gain a sense of well-being, restore hope, and rekindle happiness even during the most challenging times. Clients that experience less depression often feel more relaxed, increased energy, less stressed, motivated, experience satisfaction in relationships, and have an easier time coping with life difficulties.

Depression is often caused by the negative experiences which have impacted us. Instead of avoiding the negatives experiences we need to understand them. However, often what happens is that too many individuals are focused on the negative. When that occurs the negative usually expands. Learning to minimize the negative and expan the positive is one insightful tool everyone should use. Depression is something I personally have struggled with in my personal life so I have my own insights to share in conquering depression.

Depression is a condition that affects millions of people. Many think that depression is just being sad or "down in the dumps" but this not the case. Depression is a chronic condition with symptoms that can vary between different people. Depression affects the way you live your life and you will seem like a different person than you once were. If you feel you are depressed or may be at risk for depression please call me. I can help you overcome your feelings of depression and help you enjoy all of the things that once made you happy again.

Depression is one of the most misunderstood of all the emotional difficulties. Often it is described as a medical condition, due to chemical imbalances in the brain that require treatment through medication. And while this is sometimes true, in the vast majority of the cases depression is a natural condition, in response to stressors and unresolved problems in life. In most instances, medication treats the symptoms of depression, but not the causes and thus the factors causing depression will remain, untreated and dependent on drugs to keep them at bay. Good therapy successfully treats the causes of depression, thus relieving the symptoms of depression. It is work, but healing is permanent.

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.
