Depression is a complex and challenging condition that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, and disconnected from your world. Unlike what our society has often taught us to believe in the past, just pushing through without support can worsen symptoms significantly. Often, depression can feel like a daily battle between you and your brain. As a counselor who has nothing but empathy and patience for people experiencing depression, I am eager to help support you in getting back to living. Depression is treatable, and my goal is to empower you with tools and practices that can help you regain your well being. You aren't alone in this battle; I am your dedicated ally every step of the way

Depression has an element of the past living in the now. Hope is lost if all we can see, feel or remember is how things were. How things went wrong. How things were bad. How things were better. It is easy to stop doing things that bring us a feeling of fulfillment and comfort and slip into seemingly unending......nothing. Nothing changes, nothing is better, nothing helps. The past can be a great opportunity to learn or change but it belongs where it is.

If you are struggling with depression, it may be difficult to even make the effort to contact a counselor and set up a session, which is completely understandable. Just know that the effort you put in towards seeing a counselor, myself or someone else, will pay off tremendously later on. I will help you in an exploration of the potential sources of your depression, but more importantly, I will help you find ways to decrease the depression when possible, and find healthy ways to cope with its symptoms, to live a better, happier life.

I utilize a cognitive-behavioral approach which proves instrumental in fostering significant positive change. By examining and reshaping negative thought patterns, clients can gain a deeper understanding of the link between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through collaborative exploration and skill-building, clients can regain a sense of control, build resilience, and cultivate a more optimistic outlook. The cognitive-behavioral approach not only addresses the symptoms of depression but empowers individuals to proactively manage their mental health, fostering lasting well-being and a more hopeful future.

Depression is a negative spiral of isolation, loss of energy, and loss of pleasure in life. I will help you snap that cycle. Together we will re-introduce positive activities, thoughts, and relationships into your daily routine. We will discover and eliminate the gargoyles of despair dragging you down. We will help you grieve your losses, commemorate what you love, and move forward with your life. Pretty soon that negative cycle will be replaced by a positive spiral of accomplishment, fun, and positive connections.

Depression is part of our human journey of life - everyone experiences it in different ways and forms. Some depression is chemical/generational while some is situational/transient and can become chronic. Taking a look at what is underneath this reality helps to clarify the means to healing. Depression is not a four letter word or an emotion that cannot be discussed. Taking a look at the connection between thoughts, feelings and actions is powerful and can be an amazing tool for healing and change.

There are reasons you have arrived here. They likely aren't your fault, and it wouldn't matter if they were. You need help getting out. Before trying to simply medicate you, I want to know your story. Depression feels like we're been swimming across a large body of water, too far from shore, and now we are out of energy. The only way out is with the help of others. If depression is usually connected to isolation, why would we treat it in isolation? First, I want to help you explore what you can do in your relationships.

There are three consistent methods to improve depression, whether it is situational or chronic. They include exercise, medicine and counseling- AND- they are synergistic. This means if you do more than one of them, you get more and more benefit. Do all three and it is 1+1+1=5 with the impact on your depression. Try and exercise 3 times a week, consider medication if needed, and start with the talk therapy. You can feel better!

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.
