Depression Counseling in Hialeah Gardens, FL.

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.

Clients will deal with the underlying issues and causes for their depression, as they explore their self identity in the way they think, behave, and relate to their world. Contributing factors to clients' depression will be explored from their past and present collectively and clients will be able to identify them and deal with their impact in their lives, as they find the courage to walk through a path of inner healing of their soul (mind, emotions, will) and spirit.

Depression requires a unique empathic approach, and each individual, couple, or family experiences depression differently. There are times when depression can be associated with a significant transition throughout our life cycle, and at times, it can related to other factors such as sleep, nutrition, and social support. Diana works from a holistic perspective, meeting each client where they are with their feelings of depression by providing hope curated to each unique experience.

Depression robs you of the feeling of well-being, causing you to feel debilitated by depriving you of energy. To some people, it feels like falling down, trying to get up, and fall right back down. I want to take a look with you to understand what's keeping you stuck in the dreadful feeling of depression. We can team up to say "goodbye" to depression and "hello" to the feeling of well-being. I have helped many clients live lives dominated by a feeling of well-being.

Clients who suffer from depression can benefit from my unique form of therapy that helps to recognize negative and irrational thought patterns while learning to replace these thoughts with more realistic, positive and health promoting methods of thinking. I also use basic meditation and relaxation techniques as a tool to decrease feelings of hopelessness, apathy, and sadness while improving overall well-being. Working through depression can help clients to find a light in the dark tunnel and develop ways to not only decrease depression, but improve overall functioning in life. Clients learn about who they are at a deeper and more compassionate way through this method.

If you’re feeling down, are lacking motivation, or lacking motivation, you’re not alone. The demands of work and home life can take a toll on any man. Not many understand the unique pressures you face, and this can be frustrating, lonely, and isolating. Whether you feel like things are falling apart, or you’re still hiding it pretty well, there is hope. I often use EMDR therapy and a faith-based perspective to help men uncover and heal the source of their issues, and discover their peace, hope, and motivation in life. One of the insidious parts of depression is that while you’re in the fog, it’s hard to be objective. I will help you walk through this fog until we get to the other side.

Sometimes we think of depression as being "stuck"or being "at the bottom of a pit." I believe that strategies for avoiding or withdrawing from the dull pain of depression often contain the very hooks that keep the blues rigidly in place. I work with you to explore the situational, contextual, and emotional aspects of your depression and collaborate with you to get unstuck, raise the bottom of the pit to a better place for you, and ban the blues for good.

Depression can leave you feeling like even the simplest tasks are impossible. Overtime you can start feeling guilt or shame about how hard life feels for you and isolate yourself. You're not alone in how you feel and you don't have to go through this by yourself! Through CBT, behavioral activation, and a huge does of empathy, you can start feeling like yourself again. Therapy is a safe space to express and feel your emotions and find accountability for moving towards your goals.

We have an epidemic of depression in our culture. Depression has it's roots in how we learn to express our feelings...or not express them. We are often taught that it's ok to feel happy, but not sad. Keep that smile on your face. Don't air dirty laundry in public. Not being able to express your feelings can easily lead to depression. When you become depressed, your brain chemistry gets out of whack, and everything begins to become effected. I can help you understand and work through the causes and effects of depression.

Depression can make it difficult to make the changes that you know are good for you. The lack of energy makes it hard to do what may make you feel better. In my over two decades of working with individuals I have been able to help people understand why they are feeling the way are and begin to make the changes that make sense to them. Using cognitive behavioral techniques and getting to the root of the depression helps. Having someone compassionate and caring walk through this with you makes all the difference.

Are you feeling hopeless, unmotivated, or not your usual self? No matter what you do you can't feel better? You are not alone.

Some signs of depression are loss of motivation, changes in sleep, and increase or decrease appetite. Fortunately there is hope! We can learn to manage your symptoms so you can find relief.
