Depression Counseling in Keene, TX.

Feelings of sadness, loneliness, fatigue, irritability, worthlessness, difficulty sleeping, and not interested in pleasurable things in general, are symptoms of depression. Depression can cover a wide range of symptoms that differ in severity, duration, frequency, and origin. The good news is depression can be treated. At Christ Centered Counseling we will listen, encourage, and work with you using a biblical approach to address the challenging situation in your life.

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.

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.

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.

We occasionally feel sad, but these feelings are usually fleeting and pass within a few days. When a person has a depressive disorder it interferes with daily life, normal functioning, and causes emotional pain for the person and their loved ones. Depression is a common illness that can be serious, but most get better with treatment. Symptoms can include: persistent sad, anxious feelings, hopelessness, worthlessness, loss of interests, isolation, poor concentration, too much/ not enough sleep, appetite changes or thoughts of suicide. I work with clients using cognitive behavioral / strength based therapy to help you challenge negative self talk, build on your strengths and focus on solutions

I foster a safe and empathetic space where clients can openly express their emotions and challenges. I utilize evidence-based techniques to help clients understand the root causes of their depression, develop effective coping strategies, and cultivate resilience. Through personalized therapy sessions, clients can gain insights, learn valuable tools, and work towards a more balanced and fulfilling life, free from the grip of depression.
