Addiction Therapists in Cut and Shoot, TX.

Addiction is something that touches every person in some way, whether it is you, a family member, or a friend. We view addiction in our society as some sort of mental weakness. Addiction is disease just like diabetes or heart disease and that is how I treat it. A lot of the time with addiction, comes some sort of other baggage. We will spend time unpacking that baggage and begin learning new, healthy ways to go about your new way of living. It is possible, but it isn't pretty all the time.

Helping clients to identify what they are seeking from and or getting out of their addiction is one of the main goals in my practice. Once clients are able to identify this they can better understand the motivation behind continuing to use. The next step is to help clients to create a "new life" or version of themselves that allows for more balance and enjoyment.

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.

Through personalized treatment plans, clients will benefit from a holistic approach that addresses physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of addiction. My goal is to empower clients to identify triggers, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery. Together, we will create a safe and supportive environment where clients can work towards sobriety, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose, ultimately leading to a life free from the constraints of addiction.

I do not provide Addictions Counseling in my practice, but I do often see clients who have substance abuse issues. Anyone with a history of substance abuse themselves, or among family & friends, knows all too well the devastating & pervasive negative impacts that addiction can have on one's entire universe. The impacted areas typically/can often include failing interpersonal relationships, economic hardships, loss of work, health concerns, criminal behavior, depression, & suicidality, to name a few. I focus on all of these areas, & more, when treating individuals suffering from addiction-related issues. I also treat addictive problem behaviors that MAY not include ANY substance use.

I provide clients with a thorough and sympathetic approach to addressing drug use difficulties in my capacity as an addictions counselor. I offer individualized therapy regimens that take into account each person's particular needs, drawing on years of expertise. I assist clients in achieving long-lasting recovery by utilizing strategies that are supported by research and a welcoming, judgment-free atmosphere. By providing convenience and anonymity through online therapy, I make getting treatment easy and pleasant. Working together, we create a future free from addiction that gives you the power to take back control of your life.

Addictions thrive on wounding. Anger, pain, emptiness and related self-esteem issues create vacant spaces that need "filling up" with that certain "med of choice." It can be any number of "self-completers" - alcohol, drugs, sex or even work. Through "med" use, we feel momentarily and artificially safe or "salved" (like Vaseline on a new burn). Whatever the vehicle, those dependent on a thing, substance or person pursue that fleeting "fix" because they have not yet learned how to self-regulate - i.e., how to take care of themselves/love themselves and gain a stable footing from the inside out. This will be central to our work together. I am honored to journey to that special place with you!

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.
