Depression Counseling in North Salt Lake, UT.

Equine therapy is an alternative therapy where therapists use horses to help people who are dealing with depression or other mental health problems. In a usual equine therapy session, patients are asked to care for a horse – feed them, groom them and walk them. In an equine assisted psychotherapy setting, clients will work to gain skills while working with horses. These skills will translate into every day life situations to help with problem solving skills.

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 results from a combination of factors, such as a history of abusive relationships, or a financial or personal loss, and/or a genetic influence. Treating depression effectively comes from an accurate assessment of the reasons, which determines how to help the person heal. A person may need to be taken through a grief or mourning process; or they may need to challenge negative concepts about themselves that result from abusive or shaming relationships; or they may need to be referred to a psychiatrist for a medication evaluation. We are familiar with the many faces of depression, and can guide a person through the healing process accurately.
