Depression Counseling in Billerica, MA.

Nearly everyone at some point in their life, experiences some form of depression. When this does occur, seeking a professional psychotherapist such as myself helps to process why the depression is happening, and come up with ways to help escape out of the ruts of depression. I have counseling tools that will help you through this. Allow me to assist you in getting to where you want to be.

I leverage a solution-based approach to clearly outline your primary challenge, work through an exercise to meditate on and define your future state and then work over 8 sessions to achieve it via homework and 1:1 sessions. Clients have experienced great success with this approach, my goal is to empower you - YOU have the answers and I want to help you find them.

There are many different forms of depression as well as the triggers. The same ways also I treat different form of depression with different treatment. First clients will give the history of the disorder and symptoms in order to assess which type of depression she/he is dealing with. Then we move to set up a treatment plan to reduce symptoms of that type of depression.

I work with a depressed nervous system by working with the body. Often we struggle to sleep, eat, or accomplish relatively simple tasks. Our bodies are stuck with the brake on. When our body thinks it is futile, out mind follows quickly thereafter and we begin to tell ourselves how pointless things are and how worthless we are. I work with the whole body to re-regulate the body to enable you to get back to a whole integrated self.

If you are dragging yourself around -- no energy, no pleasure in life, overwhelmed by feelings of sadness, helplessness or worthlessness, your mind may be telling you there is no hope. But the opposite is true. Depression is very treatable. Actually 80-90 percent of people with depression report feeling better if they go for assessment, therapy, and, if appropriate, medication. Let an experienced therapist guide you. When depression lifts, your energy and interest in life increases, you restore curiosity and creativity, you're less irritable and hard on those around you, you make healthier decisions, and you're grateful again for the beauty, humor, and love in your life.

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.
