Addiction Therapists in Everson, 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.

I consider myself an expert in addiction therapy. My focus is not the addictive substance or activity. I focus on the root cause for why you engage in the various activities for the purpose of self-medication. As we flesh out the emotional and traumatic scars from past life events, you will find that your desire to self-medicate reduces significantly.

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.

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.

My approach to helping clients with a variety of addictions is holistic in nature. I address the physical, mental, cultural / spiritual aspects that may contribute to addictive behaviors by using a combination of cognitive - behavioral therapies, neurofeedback and yoga psychology. These modalities can help clients learn how to balance their body chemistry, establish and maintain emotional balance, develop and manage the control of their thoughts and beliefs, and to define and live a life with purpose and meaning.

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.
