Depression is different from ordinary sadness. With sadness, the person experiences a negative event, cries, and grieves over what happened. Afterward, the person feels a little bit better. Depression, on the other hand, occurs when the person falls into a pattern of negative thinking and inactivity. It is associated with feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. After an episode of depression the person does not feel any better. Treatment of depression largely involves teaching people skills to identify and modify negative thinking patterns; reversing withdrawal from activities; finding ways of managing or solving life problems; developing acceptance for things that cannot be changed.

Every single person has experienced significant disappointments and losses in their life at one point or another. Afterwards, it's normal and even healthy to feel sadness, hurt, anger or numbness. But when these feelings stick around for a prolonged period of time - and are perhaps joined by thoughts of self-criticism, worthlessness, loss of purpose, or despair - it's the right time to seek help and speak with a professional. My approach is centred fully on your needs in this space. It's important to me that you feel that someone cares about you, and is walking with you through the dark times of life. I am kind, non-judgemental, empathetic, and a great listener. Reach out today to begin.

Depression brings with it a variety of effects. Some people cannot sleep, others want to sleep all the time. Some overeat, while others don't feel like eating anything. Handling the usual functions of daily living can just feel like too much. Whatever ways it shows up, left untreated it can drain you of energy, impacting your relationships and your ability to live your life with joy and satisfaction. Therapy can help you identify what is at the root of your sadness. Together, we assess what is going on and determine how to shift your experience. Feelings of guilt, judgment, shame and pain are released. The sooner we connect, the sooner you can bring fun and energy back into your world.

Studies have shown that psychotherapy for depression can be as effective as taking antidepressants. Depression can range from mild feelings of sadness and emptiness to all-encompassing, fully debilitating darkness. If you are experiencing feelings of depression, emptiness, hopelessness, and sadness and are finding it difficult to function in your day to day life, psychotherapy can be helpful in helping you to understand what is going on with you and help you to rise up from the depths to lead a more satisfying and meaningful life. It can also assist you in re-engaging in the process of living and in relationships with the people who are important to you.

Depression can be situational or come in waves. When it arrives, it can creep in unexpectedly leading us to feel like something is just wrong with us. It's something we can have, not something we are. And just like any other illness, we can treat depression with understanding its symptoms and where is stems from. We can learn coping skills and tools to intervene the depression and work towards new hope. It can feel defeating at times, but I want to be there to support you to keep moving forward.

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.

The combination of schema therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an effective approach to dealing with depression. The CBT aspect of the therapy provides insight into HOW depression affects our lives. The schema portion of the therapy addresses the question of WHY depression exists in our lives. The therapy is comprehensive and intense and I encourage you to give it a try.

Depressive symptoms include deep sadness or hopelessness that persists for an extended period of time and has multiple impacts on affected individuals. It can greatly hinder an individual's capacity to engage in everyday activities. Fortunately, the effects of depression are highly treatable through therapy, which can serve as a potent remedy. Therapy can help you determine which negative or distorted thought patterns lead to the helplessness and hopelessness that come with depression and set realistic goals that enable you to enhance your emotional well-being. You will regain a sense of control and pleasure in life while incorporating enjoyable, fulfilling activities back into your life.

Depression is a complex experience that often colours all of our life and perception through its lens. Learning to live with and manage depression is a multi-faceted process that may benefit from some techniques and processes that we can explore together. Perhaps through exploring cognitive distortions, negative self-talk, or learning to recognize external triggers, we can chart a course toward smoother waters.

I practice Person-centered counselling which respects individual uniqueness and steers clear of any form of advice, preferring to support you in finding your own meanings and solutions. Especially useful when your main need is for caring, non-judgemental support and a neutral space where you can get things off your chest. I also practice Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), which is solution and action-focused, especially helpful in tackling unhelpful thinking habits. Has strong evidence for effectiveness in treating both depression and anxiety.

Sometimes we cannot explain how we feel to those around us. And sometimes we feel 'bad' because we don't have a reason for how we feel. We can feel alone, and not understood. Let's take a nonjudgmental lens to what we are feeling, thinking, and doing. From here we can regain some control over our emotions, and over our life. Depression and depressive symptoms can be managed. I look forward to working with you in managing your unique symptoms.

We all experience feeling down at times. But a temporary case of the blues has nothing to do with a real depression. True depression is not the blues, sadness or even grief. It is an overwhelming despair so bleak that those who experience it say that it is the worse pain they have ever endured. The good news is that depression is a treatable illness and those who received treatment have an excellent chance of recovery. In my work I use cognitive-behaviour and insight oriented approaches to help create a shift. Since one episode of depression greatly increases the risk of having another episode, there is evidence that seeking therapy may prevent future episodes.

The symptoms of Depression make us feel unmotivated and immobile in our daily lives. No matter how much we want to and try to snap out of them, sometimes it just feels impossible. These feelings could be the residual effect of a major traumatic event or the result of an accumulation of seemingly insignificant factors such as the pressure of unrealistic and unreasonable expectations or the lack of a stable support system in our lives. You need to address these factors in order to pursue your goal effectively, but you shouldn't have to do it alone. I use techniques such as CBT to help clients overcome their feelings of Depression and begin taking charge of their lives again.

Depression is a result of non-processed grief, which itself comes from a sense of loss. It is the mechanism through which the mind tries to “take it easy” and focus on the loss. However, in today’s society, we do our best to avoid it or even deny it. Sometimes, we take the easy way of medication so that we do not face this darkness inside. A successfully therapy accompanies the client through this journey of introspection and creates supportive environment in which the client faces the loss. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
