Depression Counseling in West Tawakoni, TX.

Depression has the ability to keep you from doing the things you enjoy as well as people you love if not managed well. I offer healthy coping skills and techniques that you can implement immediately to help you conquer depression and mood issues. I offer depression and anxiety assessments so we can determine if medication may be needed. Usually regular counseling can provide relief.

The research coming out of Stanford University, from Dr. Robert Sapolsky in particular, looks at depression through the lens of adaptation. We use his research findings and the idea that your depression means something biologically, socially and psychologically. We look at ways to help you holistically heal mind-body-soul and problem-solve those areas of your life that result in energy conservation, or depression. We look at natural remedies that can be used to invigorate your physical functioning in addition to addressing cognitions and interpersonal strategies to help you move out of conservation and into expressing your life energy.

Depression affects everybody differently. Whether you are functioning or unable to get out of bed, counseling can be beneficial for you. On your first visit we will assess your symptoms so that we can start actively working on giving you relief. Understanding how you became depressed will also allow us to be preventative from feeling this way in the future.

I offer confidential and non-judgemental counseling to help people overcome their depression or suicidal thoughts. Depression can show itself with many different symptoms including, but not limited to feelings of sadness, anger, fatigue, guilt, insomnia, shame, and worthlessness. Depression does not mean the person never smiles, it may show itself when you are alone, or you may experience mood swings. Suicidal thoughts and other self-harming behaviors happen when a person feels overwhelmed by the depression. It is critical that someone who has suicidal thoughts be seen as quickly as possible: CALL NOW!

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 work with a depressed nervous system by working with the body. Often we struggle to sleep, eat, or accomplish relatively simple tasks. Our bodies are stuck with the brake on. When our body thinks it is futile, out mind follows quickly thereafter and we begin to tell ourselves how pointless things are and how worthless we are. I work with the whole body to re-regulate the body to enable you to get back to a whole integrated self.

Do you ever wake up and want to cry because you are not sure if you have the energy to face the day? Do you go through each day finishing your tasks (or not) so you can just go back to bed? Have you lost your hope for tomorrow? Depression is on the rise affecting an estimated 16% of the US population. Women are twice as likely as men to experience depression. If you feel like there is no hope for a better tomorrow or your situation is hopeless, you are not alone! There is hope for you, please contact me and let's begin the journey to find hope!

I work with clients experiencing clinical and/or situational depression. We use a combination of CBT, EMDR and other modalities to uncover the roots of depression and to make us aware of our triggers and thought patterns. Through self-awareness and self-compassion, clients discover new ways of looking at their world which align with their values.
