Depression can feel like the heaviest weight that strips away our motivation, worth, and drive. It can often isolate us and steal our hope.

I believe that with the right tools we can navigate an empowered way forward. We are not meant to do life alone and who we are matters.

Depression can make the world and your life seem overwhelming and unwelcoming. EMDR can be a useful therapy in addressing depression especially if it linked to beliefs we carry from earlier events in our lives. EMDR helps to bring experiences and beliefs to our awareness and allows our brains to reprocess them bringing a more adaptive and reasonable belief about ourselves.

EMDR, Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing, has been proven effective for depression and anxiety. Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy has also been proven effective for Treatment Resistant Depression for those whom traditional pharmaceutical interventions (Prozac, Wellbutrin, etc.) were not tolerated or ineffective. We offer Ketamine Assisted Therapy under medical supervision with appropriate screening and post-treatment observation by an ER physician with over 20 years of experience with Ketamine administration.

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 can look like many things -- difficulty sleeping, loss of interest in things which were once pleasurable, loss of appetite, etc. We utilize several assessment tools to try and understand how things have changed for clients and what normal used to look like -- as well as what changed.

I know of nothing worse than daily slogging toward a dark and fruitless future. Feeling like the weight of life is pressing down, gasping for breath least we drown. At it's base, depression is suffering for no good cause and with no end in sight. With both biochemical and emotional pieces in it's puzzle, going it alone is overwhelming. At Life Practice we shed light on how both aspects work independently and in concert with one another providing resources and discovery for a brighter tomorrow.

If you’re feeling down, are lacking motivation, or lacking motivation, you’re not alone. The demands of work and home life can take a toll on any man. Not many understand the unique pressures you face, and this can be frustrating, lonely, and isolating. Whether you feel like things are falling apart, or you’re still hiding it pretty well, there is hope. I often use EMDR therapy and a faith-based perspective to help men uncover and heal the source of their issues, and discover their peace, hope, and motivation in life. One of the insidious parts of depression is that while you’re in the fog, it’s hard to be objective. I will help you walk through this fog until we get to the other side.

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. When our body thinks it is futile, out mind follows quickly thereafter and we begin to tell ourselves how pointless things are and how worthless we are. I work with the whole body to re-regulate the body to enable you to get back to a whole integrated self.

Sometimes we feel depression due to events in our life either past, present or both. Other times, we are genetically predisposed to biochemical depression. The data in the field suggests that therapy can be very effective in treating depressive symptoms. If it a circustance that impacts our depressive state, we work together in therapy to put a plan together to change the circumstance. If it is a biochemical issue, we explore many resources, including psychotropic medication in tandem with therapy for treatment.

Depression looks different for each of us, despite what the commercials with the sad bouncing balls tell us. One of the most frustrating aspects of depression is how nothing seems to work.
