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.

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.

It is my belief that addiction is purely the symptom of underlying pain, shame and hurt. Addicts are people who have found a temporary relief from their problems that has caused long-term consequences and even more problems. I have found that addressing the "real issues" which oftentimes are trauma, abuse and negative life events that were so overwhelmingly difficult that running away or numbing out seemed to be the answer. I combine my training as a Certified Addiction Professional with Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to resolve the underlying pain and trauma that addiction fails to address to make it easier for clients to enter into full recovery

I treat compulsive thinking and behavior (addictions) of most any type. This may include but not be limited to drugs, food, cigarettes, sex, sex/love or ritualistic behaviors beyond one's ability to manage or control. My approach is both in-depth with a goal of insight and understanding and solution-focused. Please call for a consultation to discuss your particular presenting problem(s) so we can address why this has happened to you and what to do about it.

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.

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.
