Matters of intimacy can be physical in nature that, in some ways, connect with our emotional lives and can become more complicated as we grow into our relationships with others.

Daniel McNulty
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
I have found that integrating various therapeutic modalities with a holistic approach is effective in addressing sexual addiction. Drawing from techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy, I assist clients in identifying triggers, managing impulses, and developing healthier coping strategies. Additionally, I incorporate Attachment-based approaches and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore underlying relational patterns and past traumas contributing to addictive behaviors, fostering self-awareness and facilitating healing in the journey towards recovery.
