Depression Counselling in Todds Island, NS.

I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in developing treatment plans for clients who are experiencing Depression. Using tools and strategies form these modalities we developed a synthesis of self-acceptance and change. We work toward validation, tolerance, as well as techniques that will improve and increase positive mood behaviours.

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

Feeling depressed? Lost interest in things you once found fun? Experienced unwanted changes in your sleep patterns or diet? Finding it hard to concentrate? Wondering if it will ever get better? There is hope, and I can help! I utilize a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) approach that will help you identify your stressors, including internal thoughts, beliefs, and feelings that are keeping you stuck in the depression rut.

Depression manifests itself in different ways. Liz recognizes that, at times, withstanding the pain or nothingness seems unbearable. When the darkness creeps in and all energy is depleted, hope seems lost. However, Liz believes in recovery pathways that lead to restoration. She has seen lives transformed through care, compassion, commitment and courage. Although therapeutic approaches may vary based on client needs, Liz believes that collaborating with clients to author and direct their recovery provides the most reliable and sustainable way forward. Therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Positive Psychotherapy.
