Depression Counseling in Englewood, NJ.

Depression can hold you back from living and enjoying life to its full potential. My goal is to provide you with skills, techniques, and an open environment for you to process your past and present, and create an improved platform for your future. As a postdoctoral psychology resident, I am highly trained, and strive to create a safe and supportive environment. I believe that each relationship is a unique interaction, and tailor my approach to each client’s needs, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and a Humanistic approach.

If you have a pulse and a heart, you have been sad. Using the science of happiness rather than standard interventions for depression we focus on increasing positive emotion, engagement, and meaning rather than directly targeting depressive symptoms. In using these interventions with clients I have noted the effects of these interventions in a variety of settings. In informal and clinical settings these interventions have commonly been reported to me and referred to as “life-changing.”

Our credentialed music therapists tailor sessions to each individual, utilizing personalized music exercises and interventions to address each person's unique symptoms of depression. Our music therapists work with each client using musical elements like songwriting, processing, and guided imagery to help clients find their own voice and learn new coping skills to help manage depression of any severity.

Almost everybody has depression of some type or another. Sometimes depression is linked to a childhood trauma and sometimes it comes from a recent traumatic event. No matter where it comes from, it can affect your mood, your thinking and your behavior. Because I have learned to deal with my own depression, I can help you deal with yours. I use a variety of modalities to work with you and get you out of your depression so that you can function better in your personal life and your career.

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

I will determine the severity of depression and the need for medication. We will figure out if depression is an acute response to a crisis or situation.

If it is a recurrent depression we will find ways for you to cope, and develop good support networks if you don't have them.

I have compassion for couples who come in when one or both are struggling with an overall lack of satisfaction and motivation. I help couples identify those “triggers” that affect their relationship and cause low mood, and to develop coping skills to self-regulate. My couples' clients report that they are able to sense and identify relationship mood fluctuations as a result of our therapy sessions. I also refer them to individual therapy providers so they can get support outside of our couples' sessions. I treat the couple, not individuals.If you are currently feeling suicidal, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Social anxiety and shyness can easily lead to feelings of depression.
