Addiction Therapists in Chilliwack, BC.

I see you as a person. not as an addict, so I work together with you in educating, empowering, and guiding you using motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioural therapy, relapse prevention strategies, bio-psycho-social, and other modalities of addiction treatment. Zarvina (2007) argues that, “combining and integrating individual and family treatment appears to maximize the chances for long-term successful recovery” (p.76). Therefore I offer extensive support services to family members, including: developing healthy goals, accessing community support, learning what to expect after addiction treatment and developing a deeper understanding of addiction...

Many approaches to addiction emphasize willpower and deprivation, but this only works temporarily. Alcohol, substances, or other addictive behaviours like gambling and gaming offer short-term relief of underlying issues at a long-term cost to one's relationships and health. As an addiction counsellor, I can help you resolve underlying issues, regain control, and build a sense of meaning and purpose, so you can start living the life you want. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to addiction recovery. I meet each client where they are at, tailoring my approach to each person's unique needs. Send me a message and we can connect for a quick call to discuss next steps.

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.

In my addictions counseling, I guide clients to break free from addiction using an existential-humanistic approach, centered on exploring personal meaning through open, reflective dialogue. I support individuals in crafting practical strategies to manage urges and build inner strength. Clients leave sessions with newfound clarity, feeling inspired and ready to embrace a purposeful, addiction-free life, equipped with the tools to sustain their progress and thrive.

I accept all clients as individuals and as people first. I find that acceptance and genuineness go along way when assisting clients with an addiction. Motivational interviewing along with the stages of change help to assist with client readiness and motivation for treatment and recovery. Both the individual process along with group therapy are effective ways to help assist with consciousness raising and ongoing recovery care.
