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.

Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
Do you feel you or your partner are a sex addict? Maybe, however not all sex behaviors constitute a sexual addiction, and sometimes the sex behaviors may be a manifestation of a different problem. Regardless of an addiction or not, I can help address these issues by identifying the triggers, mange impulses and urges, find healthy ways of changing the behaviors. Further, we will explore any deeper reasons behind the behaviors and address any underlying psychological or emotional issues that may contribute to sexual issues.

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.

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.
