Depression Counselling in Merrickville Wolford, ON.

Life today is very stressful and symptoms of depression often accompany ongoing stress. Depression can interfere with your relationships, your work life and seriously interferes with your life satisfaction. Depression is often best treated with the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which Sarah uses to assist you in identifying the causes of your depression and the ways in which negative thought processes feed your depression. Sarah will help you to resolve your depression by helping you to change how you think and respond to depression triggers. Medication is sometimes necessary as part of depression treatment. The role of medication in your depression management can always be discussed.

Depression is an insidious companion, and can creep its way in without us realizing for some time. Shifting a depressed mindset can be extremely difficult but neuroimaging studies have shown that by practicing mindfulness we can begin to alter those well-trodden neural pathways and shift our neurochemistry by promoting the production of neurotransmitters linked to feelings of happiness. Psychotherapy can help you identify mindfulness activities and other tools that can help to promote the production of these neurotransmitters and deliver results rooted in neuroscience. I can offer an alternative perspective and act as the catalyst you need to begin making the shift out of depression.

Depression affects more than just your mood — it can drain your energy, diminish self-esteem, disrupt relationships, and make life feel hopeless. You don’t have to face it alone. Together, we’ll explore the root causes of your depression, such as loss, stress, or unconscious patterns, and work toward healing, self-acceptance, and restoring a sense of meaning and vitality 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.
