Depression Counseling in Federal Way, WA.

Dealing with pain in life is one of the most challenging things we do. As a therapist, my job is to sit with you in your suffering and help give you tools to overcome the sources of pain in your life. Whether you have contemplated suicide, struggled fruitlessly to overcome your challenges, or are the family member of someone going through depression, I can help you find the hope that will help you hang on until the pain gets better.

People who experience depression often minimize the pain they are going through, and even try to “deal with it” on their own. No one should settle with depression as something they will just have to live with. Counseling can be very beneficial in the treatment of depression. I’ve helped people with depression caused by a variety of factors. Together we will explore your present situation, and work towards identifying the source of your depression. We can then explore ways to help you heal, and better cope with negative emotions in the future. Your current state is not your final destination. It will take some work, but I’m dedicated to helping you find the missing pieces in your life.

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 is one of the most common problems bringing individuals into therapy. I my therapy practice, I view depression as an emotional signal that some significant need is not being met in a person's life. Though compassionate and curious reflection, you will be guided to understand what your unique depressive signals are telling you about what you need and will be supported in adapting new ways to meet those needs that leave you feeling better and more resilient towards depression in the future.
