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.

At some point in our lives, we all are faced with the question "Am I blue, sad, seasonally affected, or is this true clinical depression?" While there are many treatment modalities for all of the above, I work closely with clients to determine exactly what they are experiencing and try to create a collaborative plan to address it. Some of the ways I approach working with a depressed client are cognitive-behavioral therapy, nutritional supplementation, relaxation techniques, teaching self-hypnosis, and/or talk therapy in conjunction with medication.
