Addiction Therapists in Sarasota, FL.

Overcoming addiction is a unique struggle. I utilize several forms of therapy including Motivational Interviewing techniques and behavioral techniques to help people with this issue. Addiction recovery requires a holistic style. If one focusses only on the behavioral aspect or only on the support aspect, or only on any one or two aspects, it is not likely to have lasting results. Often people with addiction also have depression, anxiety or trauma related issues to work on. These need to be worked on simultaneously to addiction recovery.

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.

Whether you've recently decided to seek treatment, or your loved ones are insisting on it, you can be assured you won't encounter any judgment or blame here. If alcohol or drug abuse is causing you problems like declining job performance or joblessness, arrests, accidents, withdrawal symptoms, broken relationships, and associated medical and/or psychiatric illnesses, it may be time to consider treatment. If your problem drinking or using is causing marital discord, financial problems, depression or anxiety, you'd be wise to see me for a comprehensive Substance Abuse Evaluation. Together we can discuss your treatment options & get you started on your journey towards wellness & RECOVERY!

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.

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.

Addiction counseling with me is about more than overcoming a habit—it’s about reclaiming your life and rediscovering your strength. I approach addiction treatment with empathy, understanding that it’s not just about willpower but also addressing the deeper emotional and psychological factors at play. Together, we’ll explore the root causes of your addiction, develop healthier coping strategies, and build resilience. My supportive, holistic approach focuses on empowering you to break free, heal, and create lasting change in a judgment-free space.
