Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
About a third of my caseload at any given time is addictions work, and I see clients who have addictions to sex, alcohol, drugs, gambling, porn use, food, video games/escapism, etc. Understanding how and why people become addicted to any of these behaviours is the first step in understanding how to undo the process that got them there. When working with clients with addictions issues, I take a treatment/tool/protocol oriented approach to helping them manage their addiction permanently.

Sexual addiction is a complex and challenging issue that can significantly impact an individual's life and relationships. At our practice, we offer specialized support and treatment for sexual addiction, recognizing the different types and manifestations it can take.
Sexual addiction is characterized by a compulsive and problematic pattern of sexual behaviors that individuals find difficult to control. It can involve a range of behaviors, including excessive pornography use, compulsive masturbation, anonymous sexual encounters, cybersex, and other forms of sexual activity that interfere with daily functioning and well-being.
Our therapists are experienced in working with individuals struggling with various types of sexual addiction. We understand that each person's experience is unique, and we approach treatment with empathy, understanding, and a non-judgmental stance.
In therapy, we focus on addressing the underlying factors that contribute to sexual addiction, such as trauma, low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, and relationship difficulties. We provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore your patterns of behavior, triggers, and underlying emotions.
Our approach to sexual addiction treatment may incorporate a combination of individual therapy, group therapy, and support groups. We work collaboratively to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs, goals, and challenges.
Therapy for sexual addiction aims to help you gain insight into the root causes of your addictive behaviors, develop healthier coping strategies, and establish a balanced and fulfilling life. We provide tools and techniques to manage urges, regulate emotions, improve self-esteem, and cultivate healthier relationships.
Additionally, we recognize the importance of a holistic approach to recovery, addressing not only the addictive behaviors but also focusing on overall well-being. This may involve exploring self-care practices, stress management techniques, and enhancing emotional resilience.
Our therapists are dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment for you to embark on your journey of healing and recovery from sexual addiction. We are committed to helping you regain control over your life, foster healthy relationships, and develop a positive and fulfilling sexuality.
You don't have to face sexual addiction alone. Reach out to us, and let us assist you in your path towards healing, growth, and a healthier relationship with your sexuality.

Chris Pankewich
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Masters of Counselling Psychology (MACP)
Addiction to sexual behaviours and compulsions can feel overwhelming, particularly when that loss of control leads to decisions that involve risking losing the things we truly care about. There is not an agreed upon clinical definition of sexual addiction, but it tends to feel compulsive, excessive and hard to stop despite being aware of the consequences. It is not necessarily the specific behaviours that define the addiction, but how those behaviours leave us feeling. Many people suffer from sexual addiction and the associated shame and guilt that tends to follow. There are some proven strategies to explore the deeper causes of these behaviours and work towards changing them. Most imporantly, a commitment to working on them leads many to learn that they are not alone on this journey.
