Depression Counseling in Jacobus, PA.

Depression is often the tip of the iceberg, in terms of what is happening with the psyche. It lets you know something is wrong, and then, you must explore the underlying causes. Once you have done that, relief is possible. There are times when the depression has been around for so long that you may have forgotten what it feels like to feel good...in such cases, a combined approach, in cooperation with your MD, with therapy + medications, will improve your prognosis.

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 isn't just bouts of profound sadness. It can also be anger, feeling hollow or numb, unexplained crying, isolating, and so much more. Through our work together we will try to learn how your thoughts, feelings and actions influence each other, then work towards creating change in their interaction and thus, bring about a greater sense of contentment and happiness. However, this is just an example of one way depression can be treated. Together, you and I will determine what is the best course of action for your particular situation.

The heaviness of depression can be debilitating; the feeling of not being able to get out of bed or not finding the energy to push through another day. I will work with you to wade through the heavy cloud and find that there is light on the other side. You will find the joy in your day, you will feel positive about your decisions and you will experience energy that makes life worthwhile. I don't pretend that it is easy, but I know that working as a team, we will fight the beast that is depression and find you laughing on the other side.
