My approach to depression is usually to start with the basics. Is the client getting enough sleep, sunlight, proper nutrition, exercise/movement, social contact? I also like to use CBT, particularly behavioural activation, to see if we can start to implement small behaviours that help lift the client a bit. This is then accompanied by deeper discussions about what the client's experience is. Have they lost a sense of control or meaning in their lives? How can we increase motivation and agency?

Depression is a complex disorder in which an individual experiences enduring symptoms including feeling down, insomnia, fatigue, headaches and even thoughts of suicide. Though it has negative affects on the way an individual feels, thinks and behaves, it is treatable. Through the use of cognitive behavioural therapy along with talk therapy techniques, they help by positively guiding thought processes, emotions and behaviors by focusing the attention on how to alter these factors for a hopeful and encouraging state of mind.

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.

I would begin by establishing a non-judgmental, empathetic, and supportive therapeutic relationship. This foundation empowers the client to explore their experiences at their own pace. Using CBT, I would help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to depression, promoting more balanced thinking and adaptive coping strategies. Through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I would support you in accepting difficult emotions without judgment, clarifying personal values, and committing to meaningful actions that align with those values. Together, these approaches foster self-awareness, emotional resilience, and behavioral changes.

Talk therapy is the hope of many individuals struggling with mental health. After clients acquired enough awareness of self and insights about their past, they commit to engage in different practices and perspectives, expecting to complete the healing process. However, research has shown that more often than not – a single approach is just not enough. Trauma and other adverse experiences affect the brain deeply in many regions. There are many brain structures affected, with neuro-networks firing and wiring together, communicating in millions of patterns, most often by the fear-driven brain. The survival mechanism in your brain creates a fear-based reality that interferes with life.
