Depression Counseling in Dayton, NY.

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.

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 is common in our society currently. 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men will face an episode of major depression before age 65. Our counselors at Serenity Life are well trained and have experience supporting people who are seeking to resolve depression. We offer emotional support, active coping strategies, creative arts therapy, support groups/fellowship, as well as decluttering/oragnizational and home services as creative solutions to depression concerns. We can also connect with primary doctors or psychiatry to provide medication supports.

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.
