Addiction Therapists in Stoney Creek, ON.

Are you struggling to overcome addiction? You do not need to struggle alone - any addiction, whether to drugs, alcohol, pornography, internet, or any other behaviour that you want to change - is powerful. Our thinking patterns, behaviours, emotions, and the pure power of habit itself re-inforce each other and can keep you feeling trapped in the power of the addiction. Together we will explore how to break these cycles. Contact CBT Solutions to learn how this highly effective, evidence based treatment can help you.

Addiction often overtakes whole lives and keeps its victims in captivity taking away the joy and freedom. I work with you and support you to fight it off and rebuild your life. You develop skills to effectively cope with cravings, how to go through your emotions during rough time with no judgement, and keep moving forward towards healing the relationship you have with yourself and the relationships with the close ones and begin to savor the taste of life, free of addiction.

Learning to process emotions is a key component to addiction recovery. Getting in touch with your emotions, learning what your emotions are telling you, and how to manage and meet your needs in healthy ways is essential to staying free from addictions. Addictions often cover up unprocessed pain that needs attending to. We have therapists that can help you on our journey to living free from addiction.

Having an addiction is not a sign of weakness or lack of character. In fact, reaching out for help and being open to change takes a great deal of strength. My approach is one of openness and non-judgment. I follow a harm reduction approach meaning that I respect my clients right to set their own goals which will then guide our sessions. I appreciate that not everyone is ready to, nor wants to, work towards full sobriety. Harm reduction is about reducing the negative impact that substance use has on that person’s well-being and life. I strongly believe that any positive change is a success. If you think that my approach would work for you, please book a free consultation.

How many times have you beat yourself up for making the same mistakes over and over, only to repeat them time and time again? Addiction does deep psychological damage, and often has deep rooted causes. Together, we can figure out what these are and what exactly you need to do to finally achieve lasting change. I can promise you three things: it won't be easy, it won't be fast, but it will be worth it. Get down to earth, no-nonsense counselling in a completely non-judgemental atmosphere. Get the framework you need to understand your addictions and what to do about them. Get the tools you need to change and start feeling better.

As a therapist, I know how challenging it can be to manage addiction. Addiction can impact the quality of our lives, our relationships, and our connection to ourselves. Therapy can provide a safe space to navigate addiction and explore what you wish for in relation to the substance or behaviour. Discussing the addiction can also provide us useful clues as to what roots the addiction, allowing us to navigate the core issue at hand and explore preferred coping strategies. Connect with me today for a free consultation to begin your healing journey.

My approach to addiction focuses on understanding behaviour through a lens of coping, survival, and unmet emotional needs rather than moral failure. Clients are supported in identifying triggers, developing healthier regulation strategies, and building alternative sources of relief and connection. Therapy also explores underlying patterns that maintain addictive cycles. Clients often benefit from increased self-awareness, reduced shame, and the development of sustainable tools for change, supporting greater stability and long-term recovery-oriented growth.

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.
