Depression Counseling in Pleasant Grove, UT.

Clinical depression can take many forms. Regardless of its manifestation, it is always painful and can easily suck the joy out of life and relationships. Depression is not simply the result of genetics or a "chemical imbalance," but is a learned emotional response to painful experiences which have not been adequately resolved. Long-lasting resolution of depression involves gaining an accurate emotional understanding of its sources, then effectively addressing these origins in a gentle, safe environment. With real-life experience successfully overcoming depression himself, as well over 20 years of clinical experience helping others, David is well equipped to help you as well.

I specialize in treating children and adults for articulation, fluency, language disorders, pragmatic/social language disorders, dyslexia, etc. I am currently offering in-person sessions for children (as our clinic is geared towards school-age clients) and tele-therapy for both children and adults. I offer specialized one-on-one speech and language therapy tailored to the individual's needs. If you are looking for a speech and language evaluation, we also offer those as well.

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.
