Addiction Therapists in Pollock Pines, CA.

Although I do not provide addictions counseling, I work with individuals and couples who are in recovery from addictions. I am familiar and comfortable working with people who are in recovery from both substance (alcohol, drug) as well as process (sex, gambling, food, shopping/spending) addictions. Addictions can have a devastating effect on both the addict as well as those she or he loves, and I will help you work toward healing some of the wounds created by active addiction and help you become more supported in your recovery. We know that people who recover from addictions are best supported in their recovery when they have strong, stable, and secure relationships with others.

Does someone you love struggle with alcohol, drugs, or some other addiction? Do you feel crushed by anxiety and fear of someone else’s choices? Learning that your loved one is struggling with an addiction can be devastating, confusing and cause you to feel your life has been turned upside down. I understand that addiction doesn't just affect the individual; it impacts the entire family. I understand the emotional rollercoaster that addiction brings and offer a listening ear to help you work through your emotions. I will help you understand the nature of the disease and let go of responsibility. We'll work on restoring balance to your life through discovering how to set healthy boundaries

While I do not work with clients in active addiction, I absolutely support clients who have addiction in their pasts, as this likely indicates some trauma. If you are receiving support from an addiction counselor, going to a support group, or working with your MD, I am always happy to be part of your support team. Trauma and addiction go hand in hand, making this a big part of my practice. Therapy is often a small piece of the puzzle, but I always ensure my clients have the tools they need to be successful. If you need support with addiction, please reach out and I can help you with coordination for you to meet all of your mental health needs.

If pornography is out of control in your life, or feels like an unhealthy habit, or addiction, I offer therapy specifically intended to help you understand your dependance upon porn, why it's so difficult to stop using, and how you can take your life back and experience freedom. If pornography has become a problem in your relationship, I help couples understand the role pornography serves, how to build empathy and understanding between one another, and how to fill the needs pornography serves in a more fulfilling way.

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.
