Addiction Therapists in Surfside, FL.

Addiction Counseling is examined by evaluating consequences of use, patterns of use, triggers, relapses, and developing a relapse prevention plan. I adapt a philosophy that clients are unique, experts on their lives, have strengths, and resources to contribute to their treatment process. I evaluate the level of motivation for change and the clients cognitive ability, which would determine my approach to therapy. I may use CBT, Solution Focused, Narrative, or Family Systems therapy. The processing of therapy is systematic in exploring clients' support network, such as employment, AA/NA community, Church, family involvement, and/or other community group.

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.

I do not offer detox services. However, I do offer one-on-one supportive outpatient therapy and individual IOP in a private atmosphere that encourages each client to move to the next-lower level of support and regain personal autonomy. Frequently, I see clients who do not wish to participate in 12-step programs. For them, I create individualized programs based on the principles of SMART Recovery and Life Ring Recovery, which address underlying problems, such as anger. In addition, I am a U.S. Dept. of Transportation Certified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP).

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 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.

I have over 10 years experience working with addictions including time as a clinical director for treatment programs. In my current practice, I work with those exploring if they may have a substance abuse problem or those who consider themselves to be high-functioning but abusing substances. I will do an assessment with you to determine the extent of the problem, and make appropriate recommendations. I also work with those in early recovery who want to understand how to cope with life sober and resolve long standing issues that contributed to the addiction.

I work with addictions & unwanted continuous habits. Eating, drinking, shopping, spending, gambling, sex, video addiction, cell phone addiction, cutting, pulling, biting, and more. With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Hypnosis, EMDR and other treatment modalities we can stop the rituals, the destructive patterns that you keep repeating and have been wanting to stop once and for all!

Drug dependency and on going negative habits can be profoundly challenging to overcome, affecting every aspect of an individual's life. Addressing these issues often requires a multifaceted approach, combining personal resolve with professional support. A lot of people only think that a psychiatrist in can prescribe medication but the guidance of a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) can play critical roles in facilitating recovery and helping individuals break free from these destructive patterns.

Whether you have compulsive sexual behavior/sex addiction (which includes pornography, sexual chatting, serial cheating, etc.), or any other type of compulsive behavior, I can help.

Suffering from addictions is an intense personal struggle that can keep you from living the life that you want. I offer clients support and guidance through their journey in recovery. I help clients to develop healthier ways of dealing with difficult emotions, anxiety, depression, and anger. I work with clients on finding ways to develop greater personal strength that is needed in order to live a life free of addiction. Together I work with clients towards developing new health promoting patterns to replace the addiction. I help clients to begin to develop personal compassion and to recognize the strength and positive qualities that are already inside of them.

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.
