Depression Counseling in Fulshear, TX.

Depression can take many forms. For some, it is an intense, persistent state of sadness. For others, it manifests as feeling empty or numb. For others still, depression robs them of the ability to enjoy their favorite things, places, and people. Something common in many cases of depression is feeling alone or unheard. My priority is to help you feel heard and connected. A key part of treating depression involves you and I working together to build up and strengthen your support system.

Depression is serious with a variety of causes and affects millions of people. If you're feeling depressed, you are not alone! Symptoms of depression include feelings of hopelessness, fatigue or low energy, less interest in regular activities, excessive guilt, lessened ability to concentrate, weight fluctuation, changes in appetite or sleeping, or thoughts of death. Depression can impact many aspects of a person's life and our goal is helping you get back to living the life you want to live. Cognitive therapy can help you learn to manage the symptoms of depression, develop problem solving skills, increase self-esteem, build positive relationships, and get back to feeling like yourself again.

Depression can be chemical or situational or both. Either way, it can feel debilitating and hopeless. I have dealt with this disorder throughout my life and I know what it's like. There is successful treatment available. For situational depression, brought on by betrayal or something else, there is often a solution you just can't see through the darkness. I can help you find hope and healing.

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.

In treating clients with depression, I take an integrative approach, blending positive psychology, narrative therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I help clients identify and cultivate their strengths while reframing negative thought patterns through positive psychology. Using narrative therapy, we explore the stories they tell themselves, challenging unhelpful narratives and empowering them to rewrite their personal story in a way that aligns with their values and goals.

Together, these approaches foster resilience, self-compassion, and pers

I work with a depressed nervous system by working with the body. Often we struggle to sleep, eat, or accomplish relatively simple tasks. Our bodies are stuck with the brake on.

I work with the whole body to re-regulate the body to enable you to get back to a whole integrated self.
