Depression Counseling in Elkhart, IN.

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.

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.

Clients benefit from counseling for depression by acknowledging the function of depression which is to "slow things down" enough to pay attention to what is going on in the person's life that is contributing to their depression, i.e., buried emotions, misplaced dependencies, unresolved losses, and false beliefs, with symptoms such as irritability, change in appetite and sleep, feeling of hopelessness and worthlessness, loss of enjoyment in previously enjoyed activities. As the issues are dealt with the person is enable to re-engage life in healthier ways and experience the fruit of that engagement. The need for medication is carefully determined and is often very helpful in treatment.
