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.

Many of my clients experience some level of depression either mild, moderate, or severe. I use different therapeutic interventions to help them learn how to recognize the signs and symptoms of depression, how to find and use appropriate self-help. Some of my clients are very spiritual and I follow my client's lead in their beliefs and find tools that will help them within their beliefs. For example, the use of meditation, crystals, therapeutic oils, yoga are a few skills and easily implemented tools that my clients use. Additionally, I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to with my clients to help them track moods, and recognize triggers.

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.

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.
