Depression Counseling in Struthers, OH.

Depression is anger turned inward. Living a meaningful life can be difficult if we are confronted with loss or trauma. Depression may be conceptionalized as a condition serving as a defense mechanism. The depressed individual has given up - so as to no longer be vulnerable to further failure or rejection. In this sense, he/she can not see future possibilities and therefore has lost hope. The inherent difficulty with living one's life to be "safe" is one can not grow. There can be no hope without possibility. Our approach is aimed at recovering possibility and growth in our clients. We will always meet our clients where they are and utilize a comprehensive approach building upon strengths.

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.
