Addictions counseling provides a supportive and nonjudgmental space to address the challenges of substance use or other addictive behaviors. My approach focuses on understanding the underlying causes of addiction, identifying triggers, and developing personalized strategies for recovery. Together, we’ll build healthier coping mechanisms, enhance self-awareness, and strengthen resilience. Clients benefit from a comprehensive and compassionate approach that empowers them to regain control of their lives, rebuild relationships, and create a fulfilling, substance-free future.

Addiction, substance use, and concurrent disorders are the primary area of expertise and specialization of our practice. All of our therapists have extensive experience support clients in pursuit of addiction recovery in whatever form that may look like. We are well-equipped to support 12-step programs of recovery as well as harm reduction models. Our expertise in addictions and substance use lends well to supporting individuals with ADHD, OCD, disordered eating, and many other concurrent disorders that accompany addictions.

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.

Gaining your freedom from addictive substances or habitual behaviors is not a matter of will power, it is about having strategy. Through motivational interviewing, Carey will assist you in setting your personal goals for eliminating your bonds to an unwanted addiction. Whether your decision is to reduce or cease your habit, your goals will be respected. Using an individualized approach with effective practices, within the counselling sessions a strategy to realize your hopes will unfold. Relapse prevention is part of every plan.

What emotions are your addiction trying to mask? What are you escaping from? Is your addiction costing you your relationship, your family, your work? Your addiction or dependency, is serving a purpose. Let’s explore, understand and uncover what that purpose is and what the core issues are. It’s time to lead a healthier and more intentional life.
