Walking through depression recovery can be a life long journey, we help support you through your recovery process. Depression can feel very lonely and isolating. You don't have to walk through this journey alone, I have personally been there and I am here to help you. This is a safe space to help you heal. Many people deal with shame associated with depression, feeling that no one understands or struggling to acknowledge the fact that we are in need of support.

I have much experience treating people suffering with depression. I am a caring, listening and also interactive therapist. People who have come to Anchor Point express feelings of inner peace, relief from their distress, and finally feeling understood. In addition to CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) I specialize in stress reduction techniques and practical approaches to improving your mindset. We also offer biofeedback and neurofeedback therapies as well as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) which are often effective in helping people learn to move from depression to positive functioning.

When I address depression and major depressive disorders, I do so with a Biblical perspective. Depending on the degree of the depression, I typically start with supportive psychotherapy and medication management until they've gotten to the point of being able to fully engage in more intense therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy. My approach is very patient-dependent, and no two treatment plans are alike.

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.
