Depression Counseling in West Jefferson, OH.

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

Depression shows up in many forms. Some people struggle with being focused or motivated. Others become tearful or anxious. Still others find it hard to even leave the house. Whatever form your depression takes I will be happy to help you begin to understand it, evaluate the different options for treating it, and give you the skills you need to recover and get back into the life you deserve.

I specialize in providing treatment for those struggling with depression. I look to first and foremost, allow my client to feel emotionally safe and understood. Once that safety is set, I look to provide treatment based on education, techniques, and guidance. Depending on your presenting issue, I will do everything I can to help you reach your treatment goals.

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.
