Depression Counseling in Florida Ridge, FL.

It is impossible to get out of this life without at one time or other feeling despair. Sadness is an appropriate response to loss. But, unfortunately, sometimes the losses have so "piled up," that sleeping, eating and functioning are impaired. My approach provides an in-depth and caring psychotherapy treatment with understanding of the causes and solutions for growth with a path to health and increased joy in living and life.

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 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.

Although depression is one of the most common mental health challenges, my approach is to help others overcome feelings of hopelessness and find the energy to discover the good news that it is treatable. In addition to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I use a combination of Interpersonal Therapy to resolve grief and interpersonal dysfunction as well as several Psychodynamic approaches to engage the client in introspection about past issues so that the client is able to put their problems in proper perspective and live free of depression. While I believe psychotherapy is the most effective intervention for depression, there are times when drug treatment is necessary to be included.
