Depression Counseling in Apex, NC.

People tend to view depression as the sadness that people experience over the course of a day, a month, or a year. It seems as if you should just "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" to some. Unfortunately, for people experiencing true depression it is not that simple. It can be overwhelming. I will work with you to understand what is causing your depression and creating a plan regarding how best to address it. Different people have different needs and I will work with you to understand YOUR needs.

I treat depression a number of customized ways, including creating with my client strategies/ techniques to lessen the intensity and duration of the depressive episode, finding effective affirmations and self-talk as well as exploring and healing the early sources of the issue. I greatly value being with my client in their struggles, and their knowing they are not alone.

Depression can leave you feeling stuck and unmotivated. Reaching out and starting the therapy process will support you in better understanding the causes of your symptoms. We will unpack the physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual contributors of your depression, develop new habits to help pull you out of the lows, and help restore your confidence in yourself. I use a combination of cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic approaches to develop your personalized treatment plan and make the way forward clear for you. Please reach out through phone or email to connect and further discuss your needs.

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.
