Addiction Therapists in Nipomo, CA.

Addiction affects all aspects of life, and overcoming it requires understanding and support. In addiction counseling, I collaborate with clients to identify the root causes of their addiction, such as emotional pain, trauma, or stress, while offering strategies for managing cravings and triggers. Through mindfulness practices, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we create a foundation for long-term recovery. My approach focuses on healing the whole person, fostering self-compassion, and developing healthier coping mechanisms to break free from the cycle.

Clients grappling with addiction often feel a profound injury to their confidence, trapped in a cycle that seems insurmountable. In my therapy process, you will discover a compassionate and understanding environment where the underlying reasons for addiction are not only identified but addressed with clear, actionable solutions. My approach emphasizes the your unique experience, helping you to rebuild self-trust and confidence. Through personalized support and long-term management strategies, clients will find empowerment in their journey towards recovery, regaining control, and hope for a healthier future.

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.

If pornography is out of control in your life, or feels like an unhealthy habit, or addiction, I offer therapy specifically intended to help you understand your dependance upon porn, why it's so difficult to stop using, and how you can take your life back and experience freedom. If pornography has become a problem in your relationship, I help couples understand the role pornography serves, how to build empathy and understanding between one another, and how to fill the needs pornography serves in a more fulfilling way.

ion is often a response to pain, stress, or emotional overwhelm—not a lack of willpower. I approach addiction recovery with empathy and a focus on small, sustainable change. Using a blend of Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I help clients uncover the “why” behind the behavior, identify triggers, and build healthier coping strategies. Whether you’re in the early stages of change or seeking long-term support, I provide nonjudgmental guidance to help you reclaim control and rebuild a life you feel proud of.

Addiction can be a tricky and slippery issue to deal with due to its nonlogical nature. I know this from personal experience because I dealt with with addiction issues before becoming a psychotherapist. It is this combination of personal and professional experience that makes me uniquely qualified to help people recover from this particular issue. With the aid of tools like EMDR CBT and guided visualizations I can help you overcome this issue and heal from the issues that drive it. Additionally, I can provide tools, coping skills, and other resources to help you manage particular issues while I’m helping you heal.
