While most treatment approaches to addiction include 12 step progams, rehabs, and now sober living houses, Grey Matters International, Inc. provides a wildly successful alternative to traditional models of addiction treatment----that keeps the brian 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
Addiction Counselor
Barbara Cleverdon, M.S., LCMFT
Licensed Clinical Marriage & Family Therapist

I am not a certified addiction counselor, however, I believe therapy, along with support from out-patient services, such as AA, or NA, will help get you to the depth of the emotion that took you to this point in the first place. Many addictions are driven by the core emotion of shame. Deep shame is not guilt but a sense that "I don't deserve to be here on this planet." Shame usually starts very early in life, often unintended by our caregivers, but never the less, it can lead to destructive behaviors. I am a certified Heart Centered Hypnotherapist, which can help find the root of the shame, change the conclusion, and find healing.

Sometimes people use substances to help them cope or even to medicate to obtain relief from whatever might be plaguing them. People are addicted to all sorts of things such as electronics, food, magazines, shopping and/or alcohol/drugs. I help people work through addiction one step at a time - al. We'll explore what triggers might create desire and also explore the social, personal and occupational challenges that might be feeding the addiction. We'll explore addiction together and pick it apart slowly. Slow change tends to support sustained change. At the end of addiction treatment you should have the skills that will help you move past your addiction and move forward again in life.

Clinical Social Worker and Addiction Counselor

It can feel like there's no way out, when you are trapped in the grips of a chemical addiction. Whether it's alcohol, prescription drugs, or illegal drugs such as cocaine/crack, methamphetamines, heroin, etc, I can help. I hold a license in addiction counseling in the state of Kansas, and have extensive experience working with women in various stages of recovery. Individual therapy is essential in making sobriety stick and experiencing a long-lasting recovery. EMDR can be an essential tool in desensitizing urges and strengthening recovery skills. Talk therapy is also valuable in tailoring each client's recovery to meet their specific needs--there is no one-size-fits-all recovery model.
