In our sessions, we will explore the factors that contribute to feelings of depression and low mood and practice skill-building.

We can also learn new ways to relate to ourselves and support ourselves through depression.

So much misinformation exists about this! Depression is a devastating condition that creates hopelessness, and so it must be taken seriously. Depression is a disease, like cancer, diabetes, or a heart condition. We are fortunate to live at a time where there are an enormous number treatment combinations that can help people become happier. You deserve to feel mobilized into your best self. I can help with problem-solving, anger, self-esteem, and feeling stuck.

It is really imperative to fully understand what your depression is like for you. This involves understanding your own thinking and feelings about your own depression and assessing how severe or intense your depression is. There can be many causes for depression and a full assessment would be important. Treatment would involve battling the depression from every angle possible - which would include: a biological, psychological, social, and spiritual (meaning & values) perspective. Much of depression is rooted in negative self-talk or thinking about self and learning how to become more aware of self-talk and thinking and learning how to use strategies to successfully address it is key.

Its true - the commercial is right - depression hurts everywhere. Whether you are dealing with severe depression or just feeling down, therapy can help to cope or help eliminate the symptoms and hurt. Therapy is different for every person, however, often focuses on self care and feeling better about yourself - eliminating the "not good enough" feeling. One of the tools I use is cognitive behavioral therapy.

Our thinking and our behaviors can have a significant impact on our mood. Learning to understand the core beliefs that we carry and how they cause us to engage in distorted thinking can make a difference to our mood and joy in life. 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.

Research has clearly demonstrated that mindfulness-based approaches to depression are so powerful that they can reduce the chances of having a relapse by 50%! That's a big deal. A depressed mind is busy creating all kinds of negative thoughts. Mindfulness-based therapy will teach you a new way to relate to your thoughts. You don't have to believe everything you think! Especially the bad stuff, becuse it's often not true.

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.
