Depression Counseling in Krum, TX.

Depression is part of our human journey of life - everyone experiences it in different ways and forms. Some depression is chemical/generational while some is situational/transient and can become chronic. Taking a look at what is underneath this reality helps to clarify the means to healing. Depression is not a four letter word or an emotion that cannot be discussed. Taking a look at the connection between thoughts, feelings and actions is powerful and can be an amazing tool for healing and change.

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.

Research shows that the most effective treatment for depression is psychotherapy. Depression can range from feeling down to major symptoms such as having trouble even getting out of bed or contemplating suicide (if you have suicidal thoughts or plans, call the National Suicide Prevention Line at 1-800-273-8255). Online counseling is effective for depression because it is easy to access: you can start treatment without even leaving the house.

There are reasons you have arrived here. They likely aren't your fault, and it wouldn't matter if they were. You need help getting out. Before trying to simply medicate you, I want to know your story. Depression feels like we're been swimming across a large body of water, too far from shore, and now we are out of energy. The only way out is with the help of others. If depression is usually connected to isolation, why would we treat it in isolation? First, I want to help you explore what you can do in your relationships.

Whether or whether medicine is a part of your treatment plan, I'm dedicated to your growth and well-being at every stage.

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.
