Addiction Therapists in Geneva, NY.

Are you wondering if your behavior is an Addiction? Clients often seek out therapy because they feel unsure about whether or not they're addicted. Sometimes, they are sure and have realized that they can't kick the illness alone. From chemical dependency addiction, to gambling, food, sex, pornography, or relationship addiction, the disease is truly debilitating. Addictions tear families apart, causing legal and monetary issues, divorce, as well as thousands of physical fatalities every year as a side effect. Despite the prominence of addiction today, there is hope and help waiting for you! I have years of experience treating addicts and helping them regain their lives successfully.

Addiction is a mental health condition and I treat addiction by a multi-pronged process predominately from a Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) model. I help my clients understand the reasons they use a substance or engage in an addictive behavior, teach them skills regulate their emotions and tolerance distress that might otherwise lead them to engage in their addiction, and address any underlying issues that contribute to their addiction. I also help clients with with concerns about their substance use or compulsive behavior to avoid developing addictions.

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.

As a drug and alcohol counselor for children, teens and adults I provide psychoeducational information on relapse prevention and assist with collateral care. Within a school setting I have taught and counseled at risk students and children of alcoholics. Within a mental health clinic environment many clients were treated successfully who had a dual diagnosis. I have worked closely with psychiatrists to help monitor medications that assist patients in being successful with their recovery. I continue to attend ongoing workshops and classes that keep me on the cutting edge of being an effective and successful drug and alcohol counselor.

Together, we will improve your coping skills. Some people benefit from 12-step programs, and others like to address the above one on one. Call today to setup your individual appointment!

Addictions often arise when we are seeking something that is missing or when we are trying to get or maintain a certain "feeling." Sometimes we just feel lost, alone, hurt or bored. Negative consequences found in our wallets, at work, within the family and even within our own bodies, are strong indicators that something has to give. Whatever the cause or the consequence, once we recognize that the addiction seems more in control of us than we are of it, it is time to get help. You CAN get to the bottom of it, you CAN rise up from it and you WILL see a healthier future for yourself. Take charge and get what you truly need.
