Depression Counselling in Grande Prairie, AB.

When experiencing depression it is hard to see the light at the end of the dark tunnel. Lightness can not exist with out darkness. By working together you can start to see the underlying issue or need is that is not being met, moving through the darkness and getting clarity around what it is trying to tell you. The bigger the breakdown the bigger the breakthrough.

When one is depressed the range of thoughts and feelings encompass a wide spectrum. Sadness and despair might be pervasive. One can feel as if they have fallen into a deep dark pit where everything is covered in negativity and hopelessness. In this state, one can feel inadequate, discouraged, unable or unwilling to make decisions. In addition, guilt, shame, profound low self-esteem and loss of interest in relationships, sex, career and even life itself are commonly found. A variety of evidence-based tools, specific to the needs of the individual, applied skillfully at the right time, can dramatically lift one out of that deep, dark pit and help avoid relapse.

When struggling with depressed moods, everything feels heavy and you lack a sense of meaning and purpose. Even the most simple tasks can feel impossible.

Everyone is different, so I work with you to develop a plan that fits your unique situation. If you are unsure where to start, send me a message. If I'm not the right fit, I can connect you to resources that will allow you to start getting help today, without having to wait.

Our thinking and our behaviors can have a significant impact on our mood.

Changing our actions, can impact how we feel. Motivation and energy are low - making change difficult! Work with me to determine the best ways to get you back to a point of experiencing joy.

Depression takes a toll on many fronts: it saps energy, generates low self-worth, creates problems in relationships, diminishes productivity and generally obscures the positive aspects of life. To make it even worse, many suffer in silence, feeling it's their fault. Well it's not. Like most afflictions, depression can usually lift with the right treatment. A combination of psychotherapy and appropriate medications usually has the best results. Please don't suffer alone.

Sometimes I debate what is harder. Struggling with depression or watching someone you love struggle with depression. The shame, the sadness, the hopelessness. It is almost more than anyone can take. The unfortunate thing about depression is that the only way to overcome it is through it. For someone struggling to make decisions and to find motivation this can almost seem like too much. But you do not have to go through it alone. I can offer you support and suggestions to make the process easier. And will be there to help pick you up no matter how many times you fall.

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.

Depression affects many individuals at some point in their lives. Not only can depression affect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, it can also impact the body physically. Lisa uses a variety of approaches to treat depression, including Hypnotherapy and EMDR. Treatment of depression is not a one-size-fit all protocol, and therefore it is important to implement an approach that is custom tailored to individual client needs.
