Depression is a term that we throw around casually to express our overwhelming sadness or frustration with a situation, yet if you have ever suffered from clinical depression you know that it amounts to much more. The darkness, and isolation experienced by a person with clinical depression can significantly impact the most treasured and important part of themselves. Sometimes people express that they are a shell of themselves or that their true self has been kidnapped by depression.

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 affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and sometimes you may feel as if life isn't worth living. If you suffer from depression you are not alone. Over sixteen million people in the United States experienced depression last year. Depression is a treatable condition and I can help.

Depression is the leading mental illness today. It is easy for those who have never suffered from depression to set in judgment on those who do. Don't allow the opinions of others to keep you from getting help. Depression is a very treatable illness. Most depression is caused by some external life event that needs to be processed through. Here at Gateway we help you discover the event and process through it. We explore whether that event was in the past, the present or a combination of the two. We also help you assess the severity of the depression and then together agree on the best treatment plan for it. There is hope for the depressed person. We are here to help restore it to you.

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.

I utilize relational approach in working with clients with issues of depression. Client explore the meanings of depression in terms of physiological, psychological, or relationships connectivity. Clients examine steps that have worked in managing symptoms, or not worked. Through the process of therapy, clients become aware of skills to manage and optimize functioning; thereby reinforcing that depression is the problem and they are not the problem. As such, they explore and implement healthy life choices in controlling the symptoms with medication management, social engagements, exercising, relaxation, prioritizing, time management, and identify a safe person to help reflect arising needs.

Fortunately, treatment for depression is available and a person can get much better, often quickly, with regular effective treatment. The treatment of depression can include medication, psychotherapy, diet and exercise and many other strategies that help people overcome the symptoms of depression while addressing the underlying causes. I use a very active and holistic approach to this problem, coming at it from a comprehensive perspective.

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.

It's not uncommon for depression to co-occur with other challenges such as eating disorders, addiction, trauma, grief, loss, or strained relationships, further complicating the healing process.

Often times our circumstances in life can leave us feeling defeated and hopeless, sometimes even to the point of wondering if there is any point in moving forward. A big part of my approach to counseling is to help you discover your ability to create the life that you want, and to empower you to make the changes necessary to do so. I am so excited to walk with you as you discover your potential and become acquainted with the person you are meant to 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 specialize in working with clients struggling with depression. Depression is often a signal to the mind and the body that there is something important happening in the client's life that is not being addressed. It is my goal to help each client to better understand the reasons for their depression, which is often rooted in the suppression of other difficult emotions. As we begin to explore some of these deeper issues, I provide my clients with coping skills related to mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. That way, a client becomes skilled to deal with the issues they previously feared, in a more healthy and effective way.

So often, depression is a natural response by people who feel overwhelmed by all that is required to engage with and enjoy the world. After 42 years in the field, I have learned that the secret to helping clients get past that overwhelmed feeling requires only two easy steps. First, I listen closely to find out what people's natural strengths, skills, and gifts are. Then I gradually give them very small assignments called "baby steps" that rely on their strengths. Each small change has huge results, and depression soon fades away as each step is achieved.

We help our client to overcome or manage depression symptoms through holding safe space for them to work through difficult emotions and experiences in a supportive environment. Depression can be caused by many different factors and can be temporary or chronic. Processing traumatic experiences and gaining perspective into what is contributing to your symptoms can shed light on how to lessen the severity and have more good days than bad. We will utilize therapy techniques tailored to your specific needs to assist you in making progress.

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 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.

At Lion Counseling, our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion God created you to be. If you’re ready to take the first step, I’d be honored to work with you.

I work with a depressed nervous system by working with the body. Often we struggle to sleep, eat, or accomplish relatively simple tasks. Our bodies are stuck with the brake on. When our body thinks it is futile, out mind follows quickly thereafter and we begin to tell ourselves how pointless things are and how worthless we are. I work with the whole body to re-regulate the body to enable you to get back to a whole integrated self.
