Depression Counseling in Southlake, TX.

Depression can be sadness but also can be lack of motivation or energy to do life leading to low self esteem. We can work together to strategize ways to improve motivation and energy. We will examine you thoughts and beliefs as related to your depression to see if they are contributing to your lack of motivation and poor self esteem. As your energy and motivation improve, self esteem may also improve. Finding the energy to engage life can decrease depression symptoms.

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.
