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.

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. Through ACT, I guide clients in accepting difficult emotions while committing to actions that support a meaningful, value-driven life. 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. 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.

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.

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.
