It can often seem like society expects us to be happy and positive at all times, that any admission of sadness or a loss of motivation, energy, or engagement with life is a personal failure. But Depression isn't a personal failure, and it is also more than just "feeling sad". If you find yourself down in the hole of disconnection, surrounded by a fog that is interfering with your life and relationships, you need a hand to help you climb out. A trained therapist understands the mechanics of depression and can help you understand it and find strategies to make your way up and out of it, and back into the light. Please contact me so we can begin to work on this process together.

It can be hard to describe a feeling as heavy as depression. I like to encourage and problem solve as symptoms or issues related to depression arise. Some days are hard and others have glimpses of light in them. Let us use a magnifying glass on the light so you can nurture it and help it grow and spread. And if you don’t have the words or have run out of words, there is art. The act of creating and using a different part of your brain can be relieving. Art also provides a form of exploration, processing, and expression that doesn’t require words. You can give your depression a form outside of yourself so you can interact with it and recognize it as its own thing.

Depression separates us from the very people we need so desperately. As a social creature, it is natural to desire unconditional support when depressed and hurting. A supportive therapist can help guide you through depression and into a healthier, happier you. I use a mix of different evidenced based methods to help you reduce symptoms of depression.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Art Therapy provide a beautiful combination in the therapy space to be able to work on various concepts to help with symptoms of depression. In a client's work with me for their depression, they will have someone to witness their pain, support them through the multiple symptoms that come with it, and with some time and encouragement, be able to help find skills that can help alleviate the symptoms as well. This will be a collaborative process between client, therapist, and any supports that the client is open to sharing.

Many people, children and adults, experience depression at some point in their lives. This depression may be caused by a change in life, a loss, a disappointment, or it may feel as though there is no reason at all. Depression may make time with your friends and family hard and take away from parts of your life feeling meaningful. Working together we will create insight into thought patterns and habits that contribute to depression. This will allow us to create care that works for you and allow you to move forward in your life.

Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses and can look different for individuals. Finding meaning and motivation in life can be a large part of depression counseling. Basic needs are also addressed to ensure the client is taking care of themselves in a healthy way. I have experience with working with adults, teenagers, and children diagnosed with depression.

Depression can range from being draining to being completely debilitating. Wherever you land on that spectrum, so much of depression involves negative thinking of oneself, others, and the world. Talk therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy are research-backed successful tools in providing support for those experiencing depression. I use talk therapy to provide a space for clients to share their feelings and things that either lead to or are affected by their feelings of depression. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and shift negative thinking patterns as well as behaviors, which ultimately creates a more positive cycle in ones life and decreases symptoms of depression.

Breakups suck. Many experience anxiety, depression, fear, anger, shame, guilt, and loneliness. Maybe there are financial negotiations, custody battles, or you simply walk away without ties. With each breakup stage comes a new wave of emotional and mental fatigue. For some people, the ending of the relationship may come as a complete surprise and blow to one's self-esteem. Others choose to leave because they are dissatisfied. Recovering from a breakup is hard, but you don't need to go it alone. Therapy provides a space to grieve and work through emotional pain. It's a space where you gain insight into yourself and create a plan to move forward.

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.
