Addiction Therapists in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

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.

Online therapy may be helpful in working with those trying to cut down on the use of substances, but my practice more so focuses on supporting the loved ones of addicts who feel at a loss in how to help their loved one. Oftentimes codependent tendencies emerge in these scenarios. This can lead family members or partners to feel overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed as they are spiraling out of control over their loved one's problematic behaviors. Working with a psychologist can help you feel more in balance, refocus your attention on yourself, and stop you from spinning out in someone else’s orbit. In these scenarios it's absolutely imperative you take care of yourself and get support.

I've worked in the field of addiction for over 30 years. I was among the first Certified Addictions Counselors in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and for 5 years I was Directior of Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs for Fairfax County Virginia. I've had a full time private practice as a counselor and psychotherapist for over 20 years. I specialize in working with all types of addictions - chemical, behavioral, sex/love, and gambling. A primary focus for my practice is men's issues complicated by addictions, and relationship problems with an addiction focus. This type of counseling, & support group involvement, is highly effective in helping people to recover and to prevent relapse.

Addictions can take many forms, but they all have one thing in common; addiction destroys relationships and creates intense loneliness. Most often, our addictions begin as a way to soothe our pain or turn down the “noise” in our minds. Soon, that short-lived relief is nowhere to be found and we become desperate for the next hit, high, drink, fling, etc. If you or your partner are struggling with an addiction and don’t know where to turn, you’re not alone. Call today and let’s start finding the way back.

I have over 10 years experience working with addictions including time as a clinical director for treatment programs. In my current practice, I work with those exploring if they may have a substance abuse problem or those who consider themselves to be high-functioning but abusing substances. I will do an assessment with you to determine the extent of the problem, and make appropriate recommendations. I also work with those in early recovery who want to understand how to cope with life sober and resolve long standing issues that contributed to the addiction.

I do not offer detox services. However, I do offer one-on-one supportive outpatient therapy and individual IOP in a private atmosphere that encourages each client to move to the next-lower level of support and regain personal autonomy. Frequently, I see clients who do not wish to participate in 12-step programs. For them, I create individualized programs based on the principles of SMART Recovery and Life Ring Recovery, which address underlying problems, such as anger. In addition, I am a U.S. Dept. of Transportation Certified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP).
