Depression Counseling in Gainesville, FL.

Depression can feel like being lost in a big, dark forest. Or it can feel just like being down or sad or blue. Whatever it feels like, we’ll trace those feelings to see where they lead and what they’re trying to communicate. You won’t be left alone in the darkness or told to ‘snap out of it’. We’ll take a holistic mind/body approach to recovering your life. Journaling, communication skills, mindfulness and health and wellness education are some of what counseling will be.

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 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.
