Depression Counseling in Fenton, MI.

Does each day feel like a struugle? Do you have a profound sense of sadness? Do you feel empty and lack interest in the activites you once enjoyed? These are all signs of depression. Depression can be triggered by a major event or the build up of many experiences that we carry with us over a lifetime. There can also be underlying bio-chemical causes. I specialize in the treatment of depression and start with a thorough understanding of your unique circumstances. From there we develop a treatment plan that can include processing and resolving past hurts and resentments, learning cognitive behavioral techniques to stop negative thinking and plans for self care.

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.
