Depression Counseling in Macedonia, OH.

Working with the experience of depression is much more than changing our thoughts to change our behavior. Our brains are wired to notice the negative; it's part of our survival. I support my clients in expanding what they notice, and help them discover what works for them by creating a tool kit through experiential relational interventions in session. When I see children, I utilize play therapy as the modality, including Child Centered Play Therapy, Filial Therapy, and Prescriptive Play Therapy. When working with adolescents and adults, I utilize expressive arts, DBT, CBT and Narrative Therapy.

Depression can happen to anyone, and counseling can help lift the darkness and find hope for a better day. Counseling is an important bridge to finding enjoyment and re-engaging in important activities and relationships. Whether you are dealing with a mild, moderate, or severe depression, counseling can be an invaluable support as you work through this difficult time.

It is so very hard when you feel down so much of the time. As a highly trained clinical psychologist, I can help lessen depression. First, I create a safe space where you can vent your stress. Second, we identify both the past and present source(s) of your depression. Third, together we design ways in which your bad mood can start to improve. And throughout this process you have a highly trained psychologist at your side, providing genuine support and guidance every step of the way,

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.
