Rooted in a holistic approach, I believe that addiction stems from early-life adversity and trauma, causing individuals to seek belonging in substances or behaviors. I emphasize the importance of compassion, self-acceptance, and addressing underlying pain as key components of recovery. I do not agree with this cultures approach of criminalizing drug use and clearly see how this belief has done a disservice to people who ultimately need healing. Healing trauma through experiential therapy can be rewarding and life changing. I have an advanced degree in addiction treatment and prevention studies. In working with me you will be treated with respect. You will learn to tolerate difficult emotions.

If you’re struggling with unhealthy habits or addictive behaviors, in some way it’s working for you. After all, they provide relief from stress and pain. But, if you’re reading this you also know that they aren’t a long-term solution. It’s common for successful men like yourself to use over-working, pornography, alcohol, technology, and emotional eating to cope with the stressful demands of life. As a Certified EMDR therapist, I won’t give you band-aid approaches to manage your stress or make you quit these behaviors. But if you’re actually ready for a change, I can help. Like an emotional surgeon, I'll help you identify the sources of your stress and pain, and heal them at the source.

Whether you've recently decided to seek treatment, or your loved ones are insisting on it, you can be assured you won't encounter any judgment or blame here. If alcohol or drug abuse is causing you problems like declining job performance or joblessness, arrests, accidents, withdrawal symptoms, broken relationships, and associated medical and/or psychiatric illnesses, it may be time to consider treatment. If your problem drinking or using is causing marital discord, financial problems, depression or anxiety, you'd be wise to see me for a comprehensive Substance Abuse Evaluation. Together we can discuss your treatment options & get you started on your journey towards wellness & RECOVERY!

I offer a support group based on The Genesis Process for Relapse Prevention of Addictive/ Compulsive Behavior's by Michael Dye and Patricia Fancher, PhD. This is a Christian-based curriculum designed to identify and facilitate healing of emotional wounds underlying addictive compulsive behaviors. The support group provides an opportunity for participants to discuss application of Genesis Process skills in daily life.

My approach toward addiction is to discover, with the client, what it has been accomplishing for him or her. In other words, what the purpose of the addiction is, its specific cause. The factor or factors that have been keeping it in place. I also tend to use cognitive-semantic processing and skills training because, very often, a person's unexamined thoughts and beliefs about self, life, and addiction may be an obstacle to his or her recovery. Examining these from a new and fresh perspective can bring about renewed insight, opportunity, and motivation.

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.

Though I am not an addictions counselor, I do often assist people who are going through addiction treatment surrounding diagnoses that may be exacerbating their drug and alcohol use.
