Depression Counseling in Perrysburg, NY.

There comes a time when normal situational depression that has a defined beginning and end becomes an overwhelming cloud that hovers over all aspects of your life. This kind of depression can't be "shaken off" or gotten over without the help of a trained professional to assist you in re framing your negative thinking and replace it with a more positive outlook on life.

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.

Research shows that the most effective treatment for depression is psychotherapy. Depression can range from feeling down to major symptoms such as having trouble even getting out of bed or contemplating suicide (if you have suicidal thoughts or plans, call the National Suicide Prevention Line at 1-800-273-8255). Online counseling is effective for depression because it is easy to access: you can start treatment without even leaving the house.

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.

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.

Frederick has helped individuals with depression for over 25 years. He takes an interactive approach with his clients and works with them to reduce and if possible resolve depression. There being two main types of depression, situational and chemical, Frederick will first work with the client to decern which type the client has and then come up with a plan to help the client reach his best and highest potential. Frederick doesn't believe medication is always necessary to help someone with depression, but if he feels medication can benefit the client, he has several psychiatrists he can refer the client to.
