Depression Counseling in Williston, 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.

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 is a debilitating condition that can be either situational and other times genetically driven despite your external world. Things can appear great on the outside and you may feel you do not have any "reasons" to feel bad, yet you still do! At KML, we do not judge people for having depression. We understand that much of this is beyond your immediate control! And yet, it is the positive thing is that depression is treatable and life can improve! We teach DBT, CBT restructuring, cognitive appraisal strategies and other techniques to help you make immediate change. We are here to support you at your worst and help you be your best through person-centered work! You CAN do this!

If you’re experiencing sadness, hopelessness, or lack of motivation, I understand that it’s not as easy as “getting over it.” And while you might feel stuck, there is hope. Not just wishful thinking, but a structured process to help you break free and start really living life again. My passion is helping stressed out, burned out, and discouraged men regain their strength. 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.

Depression is not your identity. First and foremost, you are a child of God. But even with faith, life can knock us down and it can be difficult to find hope. You’re not meant to go through this alone. I would be honored to help you sort out what you can control, what needs to be grieved, what needs to heal, and what in life might need to change.

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.
