Depression Counseling in Xenia, OH.

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.

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.

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.
