Depression Counseling in Monroe, OH.

I understand the darkness or "heavy burden" of depression. I utilize a reality-based, cognitive-behavioral approach to treat depressive symptoms in my clients. Whether the cause is genetic, environmental or a combination of both, I will work with you to challenge the debilitating effects that depression can create in one's life. Together, we will work towards finding a more hopeful future in a safe, nonjudgmental, compassionate environment.

If you are feeling like you are drowning in depression or constantly living in a fog, we can help. Depression can suck the joy out of life and leave you unmotivated and wondering if things will ever change. There is hope on the other side! We will help you identify unhelpful beliefs and assist you in designing a healthy lifestyle that will support your wellbeing. Depression will not have the final say in your life!

Depression is a common but serious mental health condition that can significantly affect your daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. Therapy is one of the most effective treatments for depression, offering a supportive space to explore your feelings, develop coping strategies, and work toward recovery. Therapy offers a path to understanding, managing, and overcoming depression.

A psychiatrist once told me: "I do not believe in demons, but if I did, it's name would be 'depression'." Not that a person who suffers from depression has a demon (even though we may feel like an outside force is controlling us!), but that depression often pulls life away from us and leaves us with boredom, helplessness and/or despair. Also, each person's depression is unique -- no two persons experience precisely the same "shape and size" of depression. An engaging psychotherapist explores all the avenues (e.g. emotional, mental, physical & spiritual) that lead to effective treatment. Take the risk of finding life beyond depression by calling or emailing for a consultation.

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.
