Depression Counseling in Bowdon, GA.

Cognitive behavioral therapy ia an excellent approach to depression.During episodes of depression, people frequently exhibit extreme thinking patterns, and cognitive therapy can help them bring their thinking into perspective. If, for example, they see themselves as worthless or a failure, they can explore beliefs that help them see themselves in a different light. If a counselor feels that issues from long ago (for example, trauma or childhood neglect) are emerging as depression, she may employ EMDR therapy. Often a mixture of techniques is used in treating depression.

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.
