Depression is a mood disorder that can cause a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest that can interfere with daily functioning. Reaching out for help is a step towards wellness. Symptoms of depression can vary from person to person, but it is a very treatable condition. Therapy for depression helps you overcome the feelings of hopelessness and despair and to gain control of your life.

I find that there are many factors that contribute to a person's depression. There is an often entangled interplay of unmet physical & medical needs mixed in with the mental and emotional suffering/numbness that comes with this. I believe that depression can be managed and learned from. Medication may be necessary for some, but many of my clients choose not to use this tool in their journey. I have collaborated with health care professionals in the care of clients to help in this overwhelming process of finding any related medical issues contributing to the depression.

The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 17 million people in the US suffer from depression. In a nutshell, depression is feelings of sadness or despair with regards to how things are now. When people suffer from depression, even the smallest tasks can appear to be impossible. Depression can affect our jobs, our relationships, even how we care for ourselves. My job as a therapist is to help you get the tools you need to help you combat depression. Whether your depression is something that has resulted from a specific event or it is something that you've dealt with your entire life, I can help you develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities you need to overcome it.

Depression affects every aspect of one’s life. Depression not only affects you but everyone around you.

The National Institute of Mental Health indicates that more than 80% of those suffering from depression could be helped with the available medications and therapies, but that an estimated two thirds will not seek treatment. Don’t be one of the millions who fall in that category! Take the first step today toward a brighter and more hopeful tomorrow.

Depression has many faces... and many causes. While some depression can be genetically or organically based, most grows out of the overwhelmingly painful or discouraging circumstances that come upon many of us gradually or suddenly. A safe, caring, insightful and supportive therapeutic environment where a person can explore the roots of their particular struggle with depression can be a key component of navigating the doldrums of a depressive season of life. My involvement with clients struggling with depression includes attention to physical, psychological, and spiritual factors that are contributing to the persons experience.

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.
