Depression Counseling in Nooksack, WA.

Research shows that the most effective treatment for depression is psychotherapy. Depression can range from feeling down to major symptoms such as having trouble even getting out of bed or contemplating suicide (if you have suicidal thoughts or plans, call the National Suicide Prevention Line at 1-800-273-8255). Online counseling is effective for depression because it is easy to access: you can start treatment without even leaving the house.

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 simply anger turned inward. My treatment focuses on helping to reveal the hidden reasons for your anger and taking the drive for it out at the very source. I use EMDR and OEI to bring out past injuries and injustices you may have been quietly holding onto for years. When you are able to release this emotional pain, you will be more able to rid yourself of self-directed anger leading to depression.

My approach to helping clients with depression / mood disorders is holistic in nature. I address the physical, mental, cultural, and spiritual aspects that may contribute to feelings of depression by using a combination of cognitive - behavioral therapies, neurofeedback and yoga psychology. These modalities can help clients learn how to balance their body chemistry, establish and maintain emotional balance, develop and manage the control of their thoughts and beliefs, and to define and live a life with purpose and meaning.
