Depression Counseling in Johnston, RI.

There are multiple reasons why an individual might experience such a state as depression. Often I have found that it is typically being overwhelmed by lifes challenges and uncertainties which then leads to apathy. Other times it is a event like the loss of of job, a loved one, marital difficulties or even just a biological issues. The first goal, then in therapy, is to assess the underlying cause. Once this is accomplished, it is then possible to look for solutions that are tailored to the individual's specific needs so that time is not wasted in pursuing goals.

Depression is one of them most common and treatable conditions.

If any of these symptoms are impacting your life, there is help and hope. I welcome the opportunity to work together to ease your pain and help you to learn how to return to a more balanced and peaceful state of mind.

It is so very hard when you feel down so much of the time. As a highly trained clinical psychologist, I can help lessen depression. First, I create a safe space where you can vent your stress. Second, we identify both the past and present source(s) of your depression. Third, together we design ways in which your bad mood can start to improve. And throughout this process you have a highly trained psychologist at your side, providing genuine support and guidance every step of the way,

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.
