Addiction Therapists in Faribault, MN.

You numb the pain. We often avoid feeling what just feels like too much. Whether you use shopping, alcohol, or even food, these patterns can be used to cope and help not feel what you do not want to feel. This has caused stress and pain at home, with people you love, and you are tired of it. There is a path through and I want to help. Whether you need to work on this individually or with your partner, you can learn to manage in another way and bring peace and joy back into your life.

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.

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.

"Sexual addiction" (Out of Control Sexual Behavior) is a common thing many people struggle with in their lives. It can feel that their attractions, behaviors, thoughts, satisfaction levels, and/or relationships revolve around their sexuality, often causing struggles within important relationships(i.e., primary committed relationship) or aspects (i.e., job) of their lives. Working with my clients thru a sex-positive lens we process what ways a person can honor their sexuality without causing harm or stress to those around them, in their life or on different aspects within it.

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 use PIT and DART work for addiction. I believe that addiction is a symptom of family of origin issues. My work helps clients take a deeper dive into how their negative patterns got started. Clients address the core issues, such as self-esteem, boundaries, moderation, reality and attachment. By building a better relationship with themselves, clients become more capable of fulfilling connected relationships with others.
