Sexual Addiction therapists in Bethalto, Illinois IL
Pamela Meyerson
Therapist, LCSW, Master in School Psychology
Sex and love addiction (SLA) is actually a spectrum of disorders which range from co-dependent relationships and personalities to full blown addictions ranging from pornography, objectification, multiple partners and extramarital affairs, etcetera. A Sex and Love Addiction is more about the addict than it is about dissatisfaction with their spouse or partner.
I also treat the spouses or partners of Sex and Love Addicts. The spouses of Sex and Love Addicts generally experience trauma.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
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.

Sex addiction can create a complex web of secrecy, shame, and guilt, disrupting personal relationships and self-image. In my practice, I approach these sensitive issues with understanding and confidentiality, acknowledging the strength it takes to seek help. Through tailored therapy, I provide guidance towards understanding triggers, developing healthier coping mechanisms, and rebuilding a sense of control and self-respect.
