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.

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.

Depression can immobilize, it takes! What is missing, what have you lost, why is there hopelessness? What does the depression look like, what does it do, how does it make you act, and how does it affect you and the people you love? What has been swallowed up in that big black vast hole? Is the depression ever gone, what were you doing when it was driven away, how long was it vanished, and what was the glimpse of hope you saw? When working with depression a key concept is to ask questions. The answers to the questions are where we find the solutions. I recognize that the individuals I see are the experts in their lives. I partner with them them in therapy to bring about change.
