Luis Maimoni
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sex addiction is something that is frequently discussed in the media, but there is no "official diagnosis" for it in the DSM-5, our diagnostic manual. Some say this is because there is insufficient research on the topic.
The clients I've met with who have believed themselves to be "sex addicts" were actually using sex to cope with another issue. Once the other issue was identified and treated, the need to engage in the unhelpful sexual coping activity was greatly reduced. I can't promise you the same result, but I can promise to treat you respect as we work together to understand what is driving the behavior you are seeking to reduce.

Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I help individuals explore the triggers and underlying factors contributing to their sex addiction. This may involve examining psychological, emotional, relational, and environmental factors that drive compulsive sexual behaviors, such as unresolved trauma, emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem, intimacy issues, or maladaptive coping mechanisms. Through insight-oriented therapy, I support individuals in identifying and addressing the root causes of their addiction.

New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Struggling with sex or porn addiction can feel isolating, shame-filled, and disruptive to relationships, self-esteem, and spiritual life. In therapy, we provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore the underlying causes of addictive behaviors—often rooted in trauma, attachment wounds, or emotional struggles—and develop practical strategies for recovery. With Christ-centered guidance, clients learn to establish healthy boundaries, rebuild intimacy, restore self-worth, and cultivate emotional and spiritual healing, moving toward freedom, accountability, and lasting transformation.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Problematic sexual behaviors — including compulsive porn use — are rarely about sex itself. They are most often about pain, disconnection, shame, or a nervous system looking for relief. I work from a harm reduction, client-centered approach using CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-focused methods to understand what's underneath the behavior and actually address it. I do not work from a twelve-step or "sex addiction" framework — not because I dismiss your struggle, but because shame-based models tend to create more of the very thing driving the behavior in the first place. You are not broken. Let's figure out what's actually going on.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
Struggles regarding sex are often less about desire itself and more about what those behaviors are asked to hold in your psychic world. In psychoanalytic work, we become curious about the emotional life, unmet longings, and unspoken conflicts that may be shaping patterns around sex and intimacy. Over time, this process can support greater freedom, choice, and a more integrated relationship to desire, one that feels intentional rather than driven.

Kari Carter
Life Coach, APSATS certified, ACC, CPC, ADOH
The impact of sex and porn addiction on a partner is profound and often traumatic. Discovery can lead to shock, hypervigilance, intrusive thoughts, body image struggles, and a deep rupture of emotional safety. My work focuses specifically on supporting the betrayed partner - not treating the addiction itself, but addressing the trauma response that follows it.
Using a partner-sensitive, trauma-informed model, I help clients stabilize their nervous system, establish protective boundaries, process betrayal wounds, and regain clarity about their next steps. Partners deserve support that validate the harm experienced rather than minimizing it or pathologizing their response.
Living alongside sex or porn addiction can leave you feeling unseen, unsafe, and questioning your worth. I specialize in supporting partners as they navigate the trauma of addiction-related betrayal, helping them move from chaos and confusion toward strength, clarity, and empowered decision-making.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Compulsive sexual behaviors often serve as a way to manage stress, disconnection, or difficult emotions. I work with individuals to understand the underlying patterns driving these behaviors, rather than only focusing on stopping them. Through this work, clients develop greater awareness, stronger boundaries, and more intentional ways of relating to themselves and others.
