Depression Counselling in Glenbrook, ON.

Depression is characterized by a combination of symptoms that interfere with your ability to study, work, sleep, eat, and enjoy once-pleasurable activities. Most often, depression interferes with your daily life and causes pain for both you and those who care about you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) will help you change the way you think so that you feel and act better, even if the situation hasn't changed.

Depression can be devestating for the person who experiences it, however, when looked at through a slightly different lense it can also be an opportunity to make the changes your body, mind, emotions, and spirit are demanding of you.

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 often comes as a result of not feeling entitled to claim our life and set boundaries to create safety in our life. Instead of feelings like we can grow and become more of who we are, we get caught in the reverse, where we feel more and more that we should shrink and lose our aliveness. I will work with you in a process of recognizing your feelings and getting them to work for you rather than against you. Depression is about dis-empowerment, but we become empowered when we can make sense of our inner world and use our feelings to strengthen ourselves and make the changes we need to make in our life. No need to go it alone, let me guide you through this challenging terrain!
