Addiction Therapists in Cheney, WA.

Addiction is a mental health condition and I treat addiction by a multi-pronged process predominately from a Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) model. I help my clients understand the reasons they use a substance or engage in an addictive behavior, teach them skills regulate their emotions and tolerance distress that might otherwise lead them to engage in their addiction, and address any underlying issues that contribute to their addiction. I also help clients with with concerns about their substance use or compulsive behavior to avoid developing addictions.

Addictions have a wide range and can vary from drugs and alcohol to pornography or cell phone or video game use to love addiction in relationships. Codependency can also become a compulsive or addictive relational pattern. I work with clients struggling with addiction to have the support to address and work through the underlying emotional hurts. As clients work through and replace their addictive behaviors with healthier ones, they see their confidence return and a new ability to find and maintain healthy relationships.

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.

Hope leads the way in addiction recovery. Hope reminds us that what is uncomfortable- unbearable even- is temporary. With hope we can face the challenges of tomorrow. Hope is the foundation of lasting change. Working together, we can build a solid plan that incorporates the things that mean the most to you. Together, you can move forward on your journey to recovery. Recovery rebuilds relationships. It can create the conditions necessary to restore physical and emotional health, or to start a career. Most of all, in recovery you will rediscover your value and worth. There is ALWAYS hope for you! You are loved. You are worth it.

If you are using something outside of you to change or numb how you feel on the inside, then you may need some help to quit doing what's not working. Many people struggling with addictions have other emotional and relational problems, and need help addressing multiple issues.
