Addiction Therapists in Nanton, AB.

I utilize best practice to work with various addictions and gain the healthy lifestyle that you are aiming to achieve. I understand that there are a variety of personal underlying issues that accompany addiction and the best result is when the underlying issues are healed, resolved or managed in therapy. I also aim to increase coping strategies and work with your personal strengths to optimize your success.

Addictions are hard but not hopeless. I my self battled with my own addictions. Along with education I also have understanding at a deeper level due to my personal experience. The substance that you are addicted to is not so much the issue as is the feelings, thoughts, experiences and behaviours. Processing ones story within therapy allows a person to step one foot closer to freedom and hope in a better life. It is a risk to reach out and be vulnerable. The key is to keep picking oneself back up and keep trying.I look forward to hearing your story and journeying with you as you process it.

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 often the surface problem, it's a way of staying away from a greater pain that is below the surface. Doing addiction counselling with me is a gentle and compassionate process of tending to the real issues below the addiction, so that there is no longer a need to engage in this harmful behaviour. When you pull out the roots of a weed, the weed will not grow back, and real change has been achieved!

Addictions usually start and maintain as a coping strategy for underlying factors such as stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and relationship concerns. In my years of working in this area I have been able to support people to decrease their use, develop relapse prevention plans and teach/implement other coping skills.
