Depression Counseling in Prattsburgh, NY.

Feeling depressed involves dwelling on negative thoughts about oneself and one’s life. The experience of depression is usually tied to our temporary inability to break the cycle of negative thinking. Learning how to challenge our negative thoughts and develop a more hopeful outlook is a crucial life skill that can be learned with practice and guidance. Developing a lifestyle based on resilience and acceptance is fundamental to experiencing satisfaction and minimizing heartache. Let us work together towards that goal! The opposite of depression is not happiness, but vitality!

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 range from being draining to being completely debilitating. Wherever you land on that spectrum, so much of depression involves negative thinking of oneself, others, and the world. Talk therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy are research-backed successful tools in providing support for those experiencing depression. I use talk therapy to provide a space for clients to share their feelings and things that either lead to or are affected by their feelings of depression. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and shift negative thinking patterns as well as behaviors, which ultimately creates a more positive cycle in ones life and decreases symptoms of depression.
