Whether you have compulsive sexual behavior/sex addiction (which includes pornography, sexual chatting, serial cheating, etc.), or any other type of compulsive behavior, I can help. If you addicted to a substance or are a substance abuser (abusers outnumber those who are addicted) and are ready to get treatment I can help.My approach is multifaceted and developed for each client individually.

I work with addictions & unwanted continuous habits. Eating, drinking, shopping, spending, gambling, sex, video addiction, cell phone addiction, cutting, pulling, biting, and more. With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Hypnosis, EMDR and other treatment modalities we can stop the rituals, the destructive patterns that you keep repeating and have been wanting to stop once and for all!

I do not offer detox services. However, I do offer one-on-one supportive outpatient therapy and individual IOP in a private atmosphere that encourages each client to move to the next-lower level of support and regain personal autonomy. Frequently, I see clients who do not wish to participate in 12-step programs. For them, I create individualized programs based on the principles of SMART Recovery and Life Ring Recovery, which address underlying problems, such as anger. In addition, I am a U.S. Dept. of Transportation Certified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP).

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.

Drug dependency and on going negative habits can be profoundly challenging to overcome, affecting every aspect of an individual's life. Addressing these issues often requires a multifaceted approach, combining personal resolve with professional support. A lot of people only think that a psychiatrist in can prescribe medication but the guidance of a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) can play critical roles in facilitating recovery and helping individuals break free from these destructive patterns.

Addiction Counseling is examined by evaluating consequences of use, patterns of use, triggers, relapses, and developing a relapse prevention plan. I adapt a philosophy that clients are unique, experts on their lives, have strengths, and resources to contribute to their treatment process. I evaluate the level of motivation for change and the clients cognitive ability, which would determine my approach to therapy. I may use CBT, Solution Focused, Narrative, or Family Systems therapy. The processing of therapy is systematic in exploring clients' support network, such as employment, AA/NA community, Church, family involvement, and/or other community group.

Clients will be empowered to face their addictions with the resolve to stop their cycle. They will explore the contributing factors of their addictive behavior and how that behavior affects their lifestyle. They will be able to utilize their insight and understanding in counseling in order to make daily decisions that reverse the cycle of their addictive behaviors. Clients will not only be empowered to face their fears behind their addictions, but also to take ownership of their goal setting and their results with confidence.

I have over 10 years experience working with addictions including time as a clinical director for treatment programs. In my current practice, I work with those exploring if they may have a substance abuse problem or those who consider themselves to be high-functioning but abusing substances. I will do an assessment with you to determine the extent of the problem, and make appropriate recommendations. I also work with those in early recovery who want to understand how to cope with life sober and resolve long standing issues that contributed to the addiction.

Suffering from addictions is an intense personal struggle that can keep you from living the life that you want. I offer clients support and guidance through their journey in recovery. I help clients to develop healthier ways of dealing with difficult emotions, anxiety, depression, and anger. I work with clients on finding ways to develop greater personal strength that is needed in order to live a life free of addiction. Together I work with clients towards developing new health promoting patterns to replace the addiction. I help clients to begin to develop personal compassion and to recognize the strength and positive qualities that are already inside of them.

What are you addicted to? Are you addicted to alcohol, drugs, pornography? Help is availing. What stage of change are you in? If you do not believe you have a problem, helping you will be like forcing a donkey to drink water. If you have already acknowledged that you have a problem and need help, congratulation! You have overcome the first obstacle. If you are motivated to change, you are much further along on your way to recovery than you think.

I approach each client suffering from addiction as a unique individual with distinct life experiences that have contributed to the development of their addiction. Successful treatment of addiction requires an individualized approach to effectively address these causes and treat them adequately. In addition, substance dependence needs to be assessed and treated in a holistic manner taking into account biological, psychological, social, and developmental facets of an individuals life.

Addictions stem from a complex mix of issues and internal processes, becoming habitual coping mechanisms that can spiral out of control. They impact finances, careers, relationships, and health, creating a cycle that feels impossible to break. At Renew Center of Florida, we address the root causes of addiction and empower individuals and families with effective coping tools to break free from the grip of addiction and build healthier lives.

I have seen addiction in many different forms throughout my career and understand the common threads that cause addiction to manifest. I usually find that a person who struggles with addiction is highly sensitive to the world around them, and was never taught adequate coping skills to effectively cope with difficulties. As a result, they use their addiction to "numb out" and avoid thinking about the pain they are feeling. My approach to this type of issue is to truly understand my clients and the factors that shaped who they are today. Then we work together to identify unhealthy patterns and empower them to use more healthy and effective coping skills to manage their lives.

Reaching out for help for an addiction takes courage. For some, that comes when you have hit rock bottom, but it doesn't need to. You have tried to quit completely or cut down on your alcohol or drug use, but you can't control it. Despite having negative consequences for using, such as relationship problems, issue at work, health issues, legal problems, and more, you just can't stop. It controls you instead of you controlling it. You do not need to suffer alone, I am here to support you. Please reach out.

I believe that the notion of "addictive personalities" is nonsense. There are important differences between drug addiction and so-called internet addiction, for example. I know that addictions arise for many reasons, and that we may never understand most of those reasons. Happily, people can and do overcome addictions without having to understand all of its mysterious causes. 12-step programs are popular, but I reject the idea that we must surrender control of our behavior to a higher power in order to solve these problems. Building solutions for addictions is not very different from building solutions to other problems. We need only use our existing strengths in ways that make sense.
