Depression Counseling in Blaine, MN.

Depression is one of the most common problems that humans deal with. We look at depression as taking to common forms. There is clinical depression which is more brain based, with a strong genetic component. There is also situational depression, which even though it involves brain chemistry, is more based on patterns of thought. Research has shown that a combination of therapy and medication is commonly an effective approach. Medication alone has shown to not be as effective. The human connection that comes through therapy is key.

Therapy doesn’t have to be overwhelming. If you’re living with depression, you don’t have to face it alone. We’ll work together to ease the heaviness, uncover what’s holding you back, and build tools that help you feel more in control. This isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about real, lasting change at your pace. You already have strength, even if it feels buried right now. Our goal is to help you reconnect with that strength and move forward—one step at a time.

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.
