Addiction Therapists in Lake Clarke Shores, FL.

I honor the power of choice in recovery. I don't believe that clients have to hit "rock bottom" before they benefit from treatment. Recognizing that individuals are ready for treatment at many different stages, I can meet them wherever they are and help them develop the motivational tools to achieve lasting recovery. We will develop a program that will meet your individual physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. I am committed to finding therapies that will most effectively guide you to recovery. The first step is YOU!

I am a CAP (Certified Addictions Professional). After I finished my Masters in Clincal Psychology in Chicago, I worked for the 18 Community Mental Health Centers as the Coordinator of the MISA (Mentally Ill Substance Abuse) Program. With over 20 years serving people challenged with addictions, I can benefit you if YOU are committed to make the change. Test the brakes. They shall work if you work them. I can offer you tools that shall help you succeed.

With alcoholism or chemical dependency, the client must agree to work toward abstinence before we can address the underlying issues of addiction. This is best done in an environment of support such as 12 step meetings. In addition, supportive psychotherapy and CBT can help a client maintain abstinence. With process or behavioral addictions such as sex and love, work, spending, gambling, and eating, psychotherapy can begin before or in conjunction with 12 step support when necessary. There is a way to live life on life's terms! I look forward to helping you begin to live a life of honesty, clarity and integrity!

If you are preoccupied with an activity or a substance from alcohol to illegal drugs, prescription medication, tobacco, caffeine, or even sex, gambling, shopping or eating; if you "need" a drink or a drug or you can't imagine entirely giving up a behavior or a substance, there is a solution. The first step is admitting that you have a problem and getting professional help. I have a 30 + year background in addictions and Twelve Step recovery. I can help you decide if you need help and the best way to get it. Together we can open the door to recovery. I also provide therapy “tune-ups” and support for those already in recovery. Call me now for a confidential, no obligation consultation.

I have seen addiction in many different forms throughout my career and understand the common threads that cause addiction to manifest. I usually find that a person who struggles with addiction is highly sensitive to the world around them, and was never taught adequate coping skills to effectively cope with difficulties. As a result, they use their addiction to "numb out" and avoid thinking about the pain they are feeling. My approach to this type of issue is to truly understand my clients and the factors that shaped who they are today. Then we work together to identify unhealthy patterns and empower them to use more healthy and effective coping skills to manage their lives.

Counseling is an essential part of drug abuse treatment for many people. Cognitive behavioral therapy, family counseling, and other therapy approaches can help people recovering from addiction stay clean. Therapy can also treat the other mental health conditions that often contribute to prescription drug abuse. While any counseling therapy for drug abuse treatment is better than none, group therapy is generally preferred over individual therapy. Individual therapy can be helpful in the case of a dual diagnosis: coexisting depression, bipolar disorder, or other significant mental health condition that requires treatment in its own right, separate from addiction.

Dr. Rapp provides in-depth treatment of porn/sex, food, and gambling addition.

Freedom and deep healing is possible. But, change starts with you taking the step to make the call.

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.

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.

I approach each client suffering from addiction as a unique individual with distinct life experiences that have contributed to the development of their addiction. Successful treatment of addiction requires an individualized approach to effectively address these causes and treat them adequately. In addition, substance dependence needs to be assessed and treated in a holistic manner taking into account biological, psychological, social, and developmental facets of an individuals life.

Anyone who has suffered with an addiction or lived with someone with an addiction knows the powerful foothold it can have. Addiction ruins families, careers, relationships, self-esteem, and self-confidence. Individuals are left wondering what happened and how it got that far. The good news is that it is never too late. You can be taught to recognize and avoid triggers, choose alternative behaviors, and get back the life you once had.

Whether you are struggling with food addictions or drug/alcohol addictions, I believe that all addictions have a similar root. Together, we can get to the roots of your addictions, helping you to better understand why you do what you do. Through greater self understanding coupled with concrete coping skills and relapse prevention plans, I can help you to live a more free life.
