Addiction Therapists in Fircrest, WA.

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.

Uncomfortable, powerful feelings from negative life experiences can cause some people to turn to the use of addictive subtances (alcohol, opiods, etc...) or behaviors (gambling, sexual choices, etc..) to provide relief from these feelings. When the use of these substances or behaviors increases to the point that it becomes a problem, or even unmanageable and paralyzing, then it needs to be addressed. My approach is to provide practical tools to help manage the addiction, while also unpacking the causes for the need for the substances or behaviors in the first place, and finding hope in the restoration of a life without addiction.

Sex addiction is difficult for everyone involved. It affects relationships, self-esteem, and the ability to enjoy your life to the fullest. Sex addiction is rarely about sex itself, and is often rooted in deeper issues. I offer a non-judgemental environment for those with sex addiction to explore the underlying causes of their behavior, while providing a customized approach towards healing. If you’re ready to take responsibility for your life and make a change, I’m here to give you the tools you need to get in control of your addiction.

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.

Sexual addiction is something that destroys the relationships we really want to have. It can feel like an inevitable cycle that we have no control over. My approach to sexual addiction addresses the behavior as well as the meaning behind the sexual addiction from a spiritual perspective that leads to a different way of leaving. Life doesn't have to continue the way that is. If you are ready for change, I'd be honored to help.

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.
