Depression Counseling in Nashville, MI.

Depression is an illness that can rob so much out of a person. To feel like you are moving in quicksand. I like to approach this topic the most. I feel like this is my special passion. Perhaps because I can approach this from a cognitive and emotional behavioral standpoint. What are you doing every day? How does negative thinking impact this disorder and how many people can change their thinking? It's only a thought and thought can be changed.

You did not choose to be depressed and it’s not something most people can simply “shake off.” Depression is real. It’s life altering and can trick you in to believing that you can never be happy again. I am here to help. I would be honored to walk with you as we challenge the narrative of your depression while acknowledging how incredibly hard and real it is. You are not alone, and hope can be the beginning to your own healing.

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.

Depression can be a dark place, particularly when the client feels as though they are completely alone. I like to give my clients the space to be sad or down so we may get to the root of the problem. Through examination of past experiences and possible anxiety for the future, clients will find themselves comforted and willing to try to heal their wounds.

Most people who are depressed find it difficult to pinpoint what it's about. After all, it may be that nothing has "happened". There may not be a crisis. Things may be seemingly very good on the surface. And while we completely understand this as the lived experience, we are experts at coming to an understanding of what the depression is really about. Chances are, there's something bothering you that is beyond even your own awareness. Together, we can figure that out and effectively address the things that are interfering with your vision of a brighter present and future.
