If you are suffering from depression it can feel like being imprisoned in a black hole of unrelenting despair. It is all consuming and overwhelming. Depression inflicts a destructive toll on your relationships with family, friends and work colleagues. Therapy can help you resolve the pain and hopelessness of depression. You can be released from the grip of depression and reclaim your life. As you progress in counselling you can start to feel life flowing through you as you reengage with friends and family.

From time to time, life circumstances may impact our positive well-being. We may feel less motivated, tired, angry, and/or sad. We may experience difficulty enjoying activities with family and friends. Seeking counselling may even be difficult, and even scary. In a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment, I will work together with you to explore the feelings, establish goals, and utilize strategies that teach self-awareness, positive thinking, and body awareness to help you on your journey of healing and personal discovery.

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.

Deep sadness, loss of hope, feelings of worthlessness, lack of motivation, feeling overwhelmed can coincide with physical symptoms of loss of energy, sleep problems, loss of appetite, weight gain/loss, and illness. In therapy, you will begin to understand the issues contributing to depression and learn ways to increase positive feelings through physical, emotional, and spiritual methods.

In doing depression counseling, I help my client to externalize depression from themselves. By switching their perspectives on viewing depression relationally, they could make their own choice to end their relationship with depression. I may encourage my client to imagine how it feels to terminate such a relationship in the therapy process. At the same time, I assist my clients in planning what they need to equip themselves to be strong enough to stand on their own feet rather than being depressed.

Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Also called major depressive disorder or clinical depression, it affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and sometimes you may feel as if life isn't worth living. More than just a bout of the blues, depression isn't a weakness and you can't simply "snap out" of it. Counselling provides support, problem solving skills, and enhanced coping.

All of us experience some form of despair throughout our lifetime. Sometimes it can really make coping difficult. The high majority of depressions are situational, where the origin of the depression is related to an issue. I can help discover underlying issues that may be contributing.
