Top addiction therapists in 34956: Indiantown, FL.

I treat compulsive thinking and behavior (addictions) of most any type. This may include but not be limited to drugs, food, cigarettes, sex, sex/love or ritualistic behaviors beyond one's ability to manage or control. My approach is both in-depth with a goal of insight and understanding and solution-focused. Please call for a consultation to discuss your particular presenting problem(s) so we can address why this has happened to you and what to do about it.

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.

It is my belief that addiction is purely the symptom of underlying pain, shame and hurt. Addicts are people who have found a temporary relief from their problems that has caused long-term consequences and even more problems. I have found that addressing the "real issues" which oftentimes are trauma, abuse and negative life events that were so overwhelmingly difficult that running away or numbing out seemed to be the answer. I combine my training as a Certified Addiction Professional with Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to resolve the underlying pain and trauma that addiction fails to address to make it easier for clients to enter into full recovery

We offer individualized treatment for a patient ranging from traditional to holistic. After initial review with a client, we help come up with a course of action that will yield the best outcome. Since we pride ourselves with the most cutting edge treatments available, a client can rest assured knowing they are getting the best care possible. Our success is based on our experience.

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.

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.

I worked in adolescent and adult PHP/IOP/OP rehabilitation centers for individuals diagnosed with a substance use disorder, and/or a co-occurring diagnosis such as depression, anxiety, eating disorder, trauma or other mental health issues. I used various proven therapy techniques to help my clients learn new coping behaviors, learn how to stop impulsive behaviors, and recognize how their thinking influenced their behavior. I provided family counseling to help mend the broken relationships. I work with clients who are following the 12 Steps, The Matrix Model or another type of approach to recovery. In private practice I continue to work with clients who are in recovery, or seeking therapy to
