Depression Counseling in Miami, FL.

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.

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 color your world with a grayness that is hard to escape from. Depression can be very complex, involving a lot of heavy feelings and emotions. Let me help untangle the emotions and heal the pain. My job is to listen and find out gradually where the wound is - and then heal it. You don't have to live with the pain- let's work on it together.

You did not choose to be depressed and it’s not something most people can simply “shake off.” Depression is real. It’s life altering and can trick you in to believing that you can never be happy again. I am here to help. I would be honored to walk with you as we challenge the narrative of your depression while acknowledging how incredibly hard and real it is. You are not alone, and hope can be the beginning to your own healing.

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.

Clients who suffer from depression can benefit from my unique form of therapy that helps to recognize negative and irrational thought patterns while learning to replace these thoughts with more realistic, positive and health promoting methods of thinking. I also use basic meditation and relaxation techniques as a tool to decrease feelings of hopelessness, apathy, and sadness while improving overall well-being. Working through depression can help clients to find a light in the dark tunnel and develop ways to not only decrease depression, but improve overall functioning in life. Clients learn about who they are at a deeper and more compassionate way through this method.

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 be highly incapacitating. It may not only affect every day functioning (increased work absenteeism, lack of energy, decreased pleasure, and reduced productivity, etc.), but also a person’s physical health (higher propensity for illness and worse prognosis for such chronic illnesses as asthma, arthritis, diabetes, cancer and heart disease). We approach the treatment of depression practicing an eclectic approach that includes: the exploration and Socratic questioning of negative views of self, and the world and the future, the revaluation and modification of these views, the exploration of deeply rooted feelings of abandonment and loss that can be fueling the depressive outlook, and....

Depression may affect a person's ability to solve problems and contribute to behavior patterns that are detrimental. It can impact concentration, make it difficult to see problems realistically, lower energy levels, and feel so overwhelming that other aspects of life such as dealing with chronic diseases, are often ignored. My services for depression are personalized to meet each client's unique needs. Using evidence-based approaches and providing a supportive environment, I strive to help clients manage their depression symptoms and improve their overall well-being.
