Addiction Therapists in Manorville, NY.

My approach to clients with addiction issues depends on the nature of the addiction (alcohol and drugs, gambling, internet, smoking, and other compulsive behaviors). Treatment includes addressing the client's denial, employing cognitive behavior therapy, sending clients to AA or NA, and may also involve bringing in members of the client's family to help clients understand the ramifications of their addictions and the necessity to change.

Having worked in the addiction counseling and psychotherapy field has allowed me to become a certified alcohol and addiction counselor (CASAC) where I offer treatment for substance abuse understanding individuals who suffer from addiction and their families who also might be suffering. I have helped many clients find treatment help whether its in Westchester or Putnam County partnering with substance abuse rehabs and other treatment providers. Often the client likes to talk about their struggles or a family member might call for an intervention. Call to discuss your needs.

I have worked the last 11 years in the field of addiction treatment. As a Certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) I can help you navigate the challenging road of recovery, whatever that looks like to you. I support multiple pathways to recovery and can assess and diagnose Substance Use Disorders. I also can help with DUI/DWI assessments for court.

Part of my practice is treating substance use disorders and helping those who are struggling achieve sobriety and recovery. My approach focuses on developing and maintaining motivation for change, treatment and abstinence. I also take into account any co-occurring disorders and outside stressors which may be contributing to addiction. Once abstinence is obtained, I believe it is important to regularly set goals in order to implement lasting positive changes.

Amy has her Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor license and has extensive work providing assessments, referrals, and counseling for those who experience issues related to substance use. She is client-centered, letting individuals, couples, or families be the driver in their own therapy, and is particularly drawn to attachment-based therapies, solution-focused therapy, and experiential therapy.

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 provide a thorough therapy approach when it comes to various addictions. Often addictions are an indirect result of other life crises. I make certain that the client and I get to the heart of the addiction through establishing clear-cut short-term and long-term goals and addressing the root of the addiction itself. It is found that once you get to the bottom-line of why a person chose their specific addiction that by focusing on the causes, there can be strength found for working out the issues that may result in a person falling off the wagon- so that an individual will admit the problem, take initial steps for curing the problem, and omit the influences that feed the addiction.

Working with a lot of DUI (now considered OUI) populations as the lead therapist at a major outpatient center, I learned very quickly the causes of most forms of addiction. Today's science offers a strong correlation between biology and the propensity towards abusing substances and the interventions we now use have greatly improved along with the science.
