First, it's important to me to understand what my clients mean by "depression" because how one client experiences depression can be very different than another client. This is necessary so I can customize the strategies I use for each specific client based on their unique experience of depression. Ultimately, my clients can expect to discover real-world steps they can take to feel not just "less depressed" but better about their life - and more positive and hopeful.

Depression can make even the smallest tasks feel overwhelming—and it can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and those around you. I take a compassionate, strengths-based approach using both Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients gain traction, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and reconnect with hope. We’ll work together to identify what’s getting in the way, build small but meaningful goals, and create daily tools that foster motivation, emotional regulation, and lasting change. You don’t have to do this alone.

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 [email protected].
