Addiction Therapists in Sherman, TX.

The clinicians at Underwood Counseling & Consultation, PLLC have a combined 50 years of experience in treating substance addiction & process addictions (e.g. gambling, video, & shopping). We believe that successful addiction treatment requires exploration & resolution of the underlying emotional issues. We assist clients & families in understanding the patterns of their addiction; developing healthy alternatives to addictive behavior; & establishing healthy support systems to maintain a sober life.

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.

Dependence on chemicals (such as alcohol or drugs) or behaviors (such as sex, gambling, spending, etc) can begin to limit our choices in life. When the line is crossed to dependency or addiction, there is a hopeless and frustrating feeling that will come over us. Please understand that there is a way through this and you do not have to continue to suffer. If your use of the drugs, alcohol or behavior is costing you, know that there is a solution and counseling will help you figure out a plan to address the issue.

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.

As a therapist who has worked with both teens and adults with substance use disorders and addiction for years, I can say I truly enjoy being a part of the healing that takes place in recovery. Addiction is still one of the most stigmatized mental health issues, and still somehow seen as a personal flaw more so than a brain process. Healing from addiction requires someone that has the experience to know when to empathize, and when to challenge and it takes a therapist with a ton of patience and compassion to be comfortable reaching into the darkest parts. Addiction is not your fault, but recovery becomes your responsibility and it helps to have an ally willing to go there with you.

I will work with you cognitively, behaviorally, emotionally, and with your permission, spiritually, to help you overcome sexual addiction, pornography addiction, and sexual compulsivity that is causing you distress. Individual, couple, and group therapies are the recognized and empirically proven state of the art interventions for sexual problems in these areas. Let me walk with you to tap into real life change and 2nd order change that is available by God's Grace and Wisdom.

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.

Sobriety is very difficult to maintain but there is hope for the damage your addiction has caused in your life. You don't have to allow your addiction to take everything from you. If your addiction already has (just like so many others) then we can help you rebuild your life one step at a time. There is more to know about addiction than people think and there are very effective treatment options for it. Counseling is a great start.

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.
