Feeling Hopeless? Of course you are, that's how depression works. It doesn't have to stay this way and its won't be like this forever if you get the help you need. I have seen countless cases of depression and I understand how it zaps the very life force out of you. Although you may feel powerless you don't have to be. There are specific treatments that help you gain your energy back and gain momentum to spiral upward. Depression isn't who you are and treatment allows you to become yourself again.

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.

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

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.

Depression counseling first starts with me providing a safe and supportive space for individuals to express their feelings and experiences without judgment. Clients will learn effective strategies and develop practical skills to manage their depressive symptoms. I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which help individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs. By replacing these negative thought patterns and beliefs with more realistic and positive thoughts and beliefs, clients can experience a significant reduction in depressive symptoms and improve their overall well-being. I utilize other techniques, such as mindfulness, (EFT), and relaxation exercises.

Depression can be sadness but also can be lack of motivation or energy to do life leading to low self esteem. We can work together to strategize ways to improve motivation and energy. We will examine you thoughts and beliefs as related to your depression to see if they are contributing to your lack of motivation and poor self esteem. As your energy and motivation improve, self esteem may also improve. Finding the energy to engage life can decrease depression symptoms.

If you are struggling with depression, it may be difficult to even make the effort to contact a counselor and set up a session, which is completely understandable. Just know that the effort you put in towards seeing a counselor, myself or someone else, will pay off tremendously later on. I will help you in an exploration of the potential sources of your depression, but more importantly, I will help you find ways to decrease the depression when possible, and find healthy ways to cope with its symptoms, to live a better, happier life.

If you live with someone who is depressed and see their day-to-day life, you may be confused and even afraid at times. And if you have never been depressed yourself, you might have a hard time imagining what it feels like. You may not know much about the causes of depression, how it's diagnosed, or what treatment options are available. There are many things God can do through us to educate you about your loved one's experience with depression, but you also need to take care of your own mental health and well-being.
