Addiction Therapists in Vail, AZ.

Have you tried stopping, but keep coming back to your drug of choice? Is your drinking causing you problems? Are you sabotaging your work because of hangovers? Do you spend a lot of money on alcohol or drugs? If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, you are struggling with addictive behaviors. I can help you learn new ways to break the cycle using behavioral psychology, habit formation, and performance improvement. For some, this may involve exploring patterns of thought and behaviors and how to replace these with more positive coping skills, while others may benefit from a more solution-oriented approach that works to identify specific goals and how to reach them. 

If you’re struggling with addiction or unwanted habits, you might feel like you’ve tried everything. Then men I work with are often successful in other areas of their life, and so they're frustrated that their discipline and will power isn’t enough to change their behaviors. As an experienced addiction therapist and coach, I understand the neuroscience of addiction and the strategies necessary for you to find freedom from unwanted behaviors. Whether it’s pornography, sex, technology, gambling, or workaholism, there is hope. In our sessions, we will create a personalized plan to help you form new patterns, heal from your shame, and experience the breakthroughs you were destined for.

Part of us leans towards a new path, while another part likes things just as they are. This approach acknowledges that clients are the expert of their own lives and looks to roll with both sides without pushing any agenda onto the client. Thus, the client can look to see how actions may or may not match their unique values. Addiction is the compulsive use of drugs/alcohol despite significant negative consequences. Some clients are not in a place in their life in which they are not open to committing to abstain from drugs and alcohol. If your goal is to either reduce or completely abstain from drug or alcohol use, I can help.

If you’re struggling with unhealthy habits or addictive behaviors, in some way it’s working for you. After all, they provide relief from stress and pain. But, if you’re reading this you also know that they aren’t a long-term solution. It’s common for successful men like yourself to use over-working, pornography, alcohol, technology, and emotional eating to cope with the stressful demands of life. As a Certified EMDR therapist, I won’t give you band-aid approaches to manage your stress or make you quit these behaviors. But if you’re actually ready for a change, I can help. Like an emotional surgeon, I'll help you identify the sources of your stress and pain, and heal them at the source.

While most treatment approaches to addiction include 12 step programs, rehabs, and now sober living houses, Grey Matters International, Inc. provides a wildly successful alternative to traditional models of addiction treatment----that keeps the brain in mind. That is, talking to the conscious brain while the primal brain is deciding things even before you are consciously aware? Well, that is the problem to solve in addiction. We have the solution utilizing a new cutting edge neuroscience-centered brain rebalancing system. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or call 877-606-6161.
