Depression Counseling in Norwood, MA.

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 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.

A common understanding is that depression is anger turned inward. I help the client understand the sources of their depression, both biological and environmental, and build on their strengths as well as build new sources of identity to cope with the depression. In this process I am helping them create a toolbox to survive difficult emotion and strengthen their core self. This might include mindfulness work, grief work, reframing their personal narratives, coaching around new life habits and activities, learning how to set small goals for themselves, and examining the typical roles they play in their relationships, including the examination of these typical roles for satisfaction.

n addressing depression, I utilize evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, improve their mood, and enhance their interpersonal relationships. My goal is to provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their feelings, develop coping skills, and build a sense of hope and empowerment. By working collaboratively with clients, I strive to help them achieve lasting relief from depressive symptoms and improve their overall quality of 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.

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.
