Depression Counseling in Troy, 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.

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,

Moods and the identification and regulation of each is quite a process. It is new territory for young people. Sadness in its deepest form is difficult to escape. It may express it itself as sadness, anger, irritability or fear. Even young children can be depressed. Adolescent years host many changes and are a likely time for depression to approach. I offer tools to identify, communicate, cope and understand depression and mood issues. When you can allow yourself options and insight, you will then feel more capable.

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.
