Addiction Therapists in Palm Coast, FL.

While addictions counseling is not where I specialize I do enjoy offering support for addicted clients and/or friends/family members who are each moving through some form of recovery of their own. The truth is that everyone is an addict of some kind. We all are prone to use things (food, work, sex, relationships, technology and substances) in ways they were never intended to be used. The goal in therapy is more than just abstinence. Whether you are an individual in recovery or the friend family member of someone in recovery, we will process what it looks like to build healthy boundaries and rhythms that will help you sustain a life of sobriety and flourishing.

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 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.

Any addiction is a primary disease. It has to be dealt with first. If it isn’t, no psychological healing or spiritual growth can happen. I encourage abstinence from your addictive substance or process. People benefit from desensitizing Relapse Triggers, healing memories and tools to avoid relapse. Psychotherapy with me includes these, but goes much further. I believe all addictions are symptoms of addiction to our thoughts. Example, “I need…, I want…”. It is repeatedly thinking the same thought in spite of its negative consequences. We break this cycle with tools:present moment awareness,noticing your real needs, shifting negative core beliefs and using a plan of recovery.

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.
