Addiction Therapists in Granite Falls, WA.

It's only rarely that addiction 'just happens.' For most who have been caught in the web of addiction, it started for a reason. That reason may or may not be obvious, but through the counseling process, you can gain a deeper understanding of what drew you to substance misuse and why you continued using even when you knew it was a problem. Then you will also learn new ways meet those needs, ways that create vitality rather than disruption in your life.

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.

Addiction is a self-destructive path that destroys your relationships and life-style. Work with me to take a look at what you really want in life! I will help you gain the self awareness so that you can see that addiction is just an empty substitution for what would be gratifying to you. Addiction is just wasting your life. Confronting yourself and having the courage to step up and take responsibility will be challenging. I provide a non-judgemental and supportive presence as you work through your problem. If you're ready to move forward and leave behind your maladaptive coping mechanism, you're ready to have a better life.

What sometimes starts as alluring, intriguing and fun...can grow into a habit or behavior that leads to mounting consequences for yourself and those around you. When you continue to engage in something that continually results in pain and problems...it can be really tough to find your way out of the snare of the behavior. Our counselors at Mill Creek Family Services are experienced and trained to help you loosen the grip of addiction. With compassion and commitment we work with you to create the shifts needed to leave the damaging habits in the past and move into a life of freedom.

I work with alcoholism, drug addiction, sexual addiction, spending addiction and compulsive behaviors. I believe that these are coping mechanisms that "worked" at one time. Finding another way to comfort ourselves is key. I like 12 steps and what they have to offer as I believe that the addiction is a force of its own and we need a Power greater than ourselves to get better. I believe that for true recovery to happen, one needs to have a personality change to get away from the dry drunk state that leads them back into addiction. I have a lot of experience with this and have a lot of success stories. This is why I have chosen to specialize in this.

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.

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.
