Depression Counselling in Trenton, ON.

Depression can be treated in both long and short term therapy using a number of approaches. Among them are hypnosis, DBT, behaviour activation and CBT. CBT has a strong evidence base to support mood elevation that often persists even after the therapy is finished. In CBT the emphasis is on the here and now, and how learning new thought patterns and actions can generate an improved mood. First clients are trained in how to become experts about their current automatic thoughts and then create and practice new patterns that have meaning for them. CBT is a gentle and fascinating discipline that involves homework and commitment but which can produce remarkably effective, lasting results.

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.

Sometimes, we think of depression in social terms as the sadness and aloneness we feel that doesn't significantly interfere with our daily abilities to function. At other times, depression may dramatically limit the energy or interest we have to do anything. This may require the help of your physician to rule out the biological causes of medical problems that present as depression. In both examples, therapy is necessary to increase the possibility of a good outcome.
