If you feel you lack control regarding your sexual thoughts and desires, you may have a sexual addiction. Although sexual impulses are natural, sexual addiction involves an excess amount of time engaging in sexual acts, pornography or changing a daily routine to give into the compulsion. Therapy can help provide a diagnosis as well as a plan to get the behavior under control and to live life normally again.
I specialize in helping individuals overcome compulsive sexual behavior like unwanted pornography viewing by utilizing principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). You can learn more about this approach by checking out my TEDx talk and other free resources on my website: https://cameronstaley.com/resources/.
I work with clients who struggle with Sexual Addiction and related issues. During our sessions, we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing them that helps you resolve such issues in a meaningful manner to restore functioning enabling and empowering you to move beyond your past. I practice from a Holistic perspective and commonly employ EMDR and other effective modalities with helping clients achieve balance and purpose in their lives and creative solutions to their problems. This includes exploring past issues and trauma that may be a factor presently.
Sexual addiction can be a deeply distressing and isolating experience, but you don't have to face it alone. With a non-judgmental and understanding approach, I offer evidence-based therapy to help you understand the underlying factors contributing to your addiction, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and reclaim control over your life.
I have found that people who are addicted to sex need to understand the function the addiction is playing in their life. With this knowledge, the individual can better address their problems and desires. I also teach people skills for unconditionally accepting themselves as shame and self-downing will not help them overcome their issues in this sphere of life. Finally, I teach people how to cope with sexual urges that will get them into trouble and how to live meaningful lives.
