Addiction Therapists in Weedsport, NY.

Sexual addiction can consume your life...whether you are the addicted person or the person who loves them. I have worked with people struggling with sex addiction for many years, and know the steps needed to begin the path of healing, or move further on that path. Sexual feelings are inescapable for most people, which is why it requires a different approach than standard addiction treatment based on AA. We will work together to heal the wound underneath your addiction and create a healthy relationship for you with your sexuality. If you are the partner of a sexually addicted person, we will work towards healthy boundaries that will help you handle your loved one's addiction.

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.

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.

Addiction often develops as a response to stresses in life that we have previously struggled to cope with. Though it serves a purpose, eventually this strategy no longer protects us and may lead to further struggles, physically, interpersonally and within our daily lives. Together we will work to understand your patterns, triggers, and develop new methods for living a life of ease. Compassion and understanding are essential to finding new ways of being. My approach for supporting those struggling with addiction is heavily person centered, believing that you have the innate power and ability to grow into the life you hope for.

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.

Addiction refers to anything that has become harmful or prevents you from reaching your ideal life - drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, self-harming, etc. I am coming from a sanctuary based, harm-reduction clinic which is ingrained in my approach to addiction. It means I value honesty in this process. I am not about forcing immediate sobriety or shaming you during relapse. It means I recognize and encourage your efforts and your small steps, even if they feel really small. fit. I want to focus on why YOU want to change and not why others told you you need to quit and I want to plan based on your environment and life circumstances to better assure progress.
