Depression Counseling in Prairie Village, KS.

Depression can be invasive in our lives leading to withdrawal from others, anger, negative feelings towards self and others, trouble concentrating and making decisions, a change in sleeping habits, tearfulness, suicidal thoughts and/or attempts, and overall dissatisfaction with life and feeling unhappy. If you feel this may have taken over your life please call and we can evaluate the depth of your depression. I have two excellent tools that will help you determine the degree of your depression. We can look at the options together on how best to treat it, whether by medication from your physician and counseling or counseling and alternative therapies or just talk therapy alone.

Depression can leave you feeling hopeless. It's exhausting some days to even muster the energy to get out of bed and face yet another day. In our work together we can identify the reasons for your depression and find ways in which to cope with it. Through continued work I can help you gain control of your life and feel empowered to manage your depression. I draw on personal experience of loving someone with depression. You will benefit from my knowledge and understanding of depression but mostly from the care and compassion you will experience through our work together. You deserve to feel supported and understood while you work towards healing.

Depression can be debilitating to the point of not even wanting (or able) to get out of bed in the morning. Left untreated depression can lead to other serious challenges. Depression can be treated with Positive Psychology, exploring life circumstances that might be impacting well-being, Mindfulness and more. Medication doesn't have to be the first line of defense against depression but can provide relief in some cases. If you're interested in getting to the root cause of depression and/or grief I can start arming you with tools to help you combat what might be holding you back from living the life you hope to live.

Depression is difficult to overcome and family and friends do not always know how to help. Seeking professional help to overcome your depression should be a safe and comfortable solution. I provide a confidential and encouraging environment for clients to address the root of their depression and create a happier, more fulfilling life for themselves. I utilize CBT techniques and teach you how to change how you think and approach your life with more optimism and confidence. If you feel stuck and unsure of how to overcome your depression, I can provide solutions.

Depression is the elephant on your back, that makes life almost impossible to manage, and can be triggered biologically or environmental. If you are taking an antidepressant prescribed by your family practitioner or a psychiatrist, participating in individual therapy is essential for recovery from depressive symptoms. Individual therapy can make it possible to have energy throughout the day, smile and laugh, experience joy, and feel hopeful about your day and future. For those who are in the depths of their depression, suicide becomes a real option. However therapy, and collaboration with a psychiatrist, can help someone see there are other options, and life is important to live.

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

Depression is often a life draining evil that can be present in every area of our lives, oftentimes making it very difficult to function normally, or it can be a subtle nagging voice we listen to on a daily basis. However it manifests itself, it can cause significant damage to self-worth, can cause low physical energy, nagging pain and discomfort throughout the body, and lack of motivation and energy to make changes. Often times, it kills hope. Life does not have to be about just making it through the day! Let me help you discover the way out to a life full of satisfaction and hope.

When working with clients who suffer from depression I walk side by side with them during their struggles and let them know that they are not alone in it. I provide compassion and understanding while giving my clients tools they can use to cope and work past their depression. When people are depressed they often times feel like they are completely isolated. I work to help clients expand their support system in their lives outside of therapy to help promote healthy connects with people after my clients time in therapy has been completed.

Often times we say we feel depressed when we don't really know what we're feeling. All we know is that we feel "stuck" and "numb", and not sure what to do next. I help individuals unravel the other emotions that may be contributing to their feelings of overwhelm. When we discover what we feel, we discover what we need and can work towards becoming unstuck.
