Depression is a suffering that takes the joy out of life and seems endless and hopeless. It drains your self-esteem. It is a sign of a problem but it makes solving problems more difficult. Sometimes medication can help, but psychotherapy is more effective. There are several approaches to getting out of depression and I would use all of them. We can work to notice and challenge depressing thoughts. We can work with underlying trauma or loss where you may have begun to feel depressed. I can also support you to take the kind of actions that lift your mood. You will learn ways of being more nourished and fulfilled.

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 can be debilitating. It can rob you of your happiness and wreak havoc in your relationships. No one starts out in life depressed, so what happened to cause this? Well, there are many possible causes - hurtful, toxic childhood, genetics, lack of a support network or even chronic frustration and lack of control in your life. There are degrees of depression and there are tools which you can learn to help you manage your symptoms. I teach my clients the skills they need to overcome depression. I also educate my clients so they are aware of where this came from. I always have to remind my clients that depression is NOT their fault. It happens to good people, caring people.
