Depression therapy, also known as psychotherapy or talk therapy, is an essential and effective treatment method. It involves exploring and addressing the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that contribute to depression while working with a trained mental health professional. Depending on the specific requirements and preferences of the individual seeking treatment, therapy may be administered individually, in groups, or even with family members.

Depression is often associated with a disconnection between your core being versus what you portray or attempt or mask around others because of the particular beliefs that you have been brought up within your family of origin or societal institutions you have been a part of. I will help you examine your underlying behavioral and cognitive patterns that induce depression and help you look at the alternatives in order to bring about positive change and to help you to be your authentic self. Also, certain events in your life from the past may have resulted in feelings of guilt, hopelessness, or feelings of worthlessness. I will work with in clearing out these unresolved emotions.

People experience depression for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it has to do with failed or challenging relationships.

Whatever the source we will work together to understand the origin and come up with tangible, reasonable ways to address it to help you to feel better and move forward in your life.

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
