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.

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.

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.

Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Sex addiction is arguably the biggest thing nobody talks about. Often times it goes unnoticed and therefore unaddressed. Sexual addiction is something that keeps us from the connection we know intrinsically we are made to experience. In our work together I help you get to the root issues that underly your sexual addiction so can experience the love, connection, and peace you are really after.

Douglairian psychology apc
Marriage and Family Therapist, Lmft
I offer a compassionate, non-shaming alternative to sex addiction treatment—one that focuses on understanding, choice, and sexual health, rather than labels or lifelong pathology. I work with individuals struggling with out-of-control sexual behavior, compulsive pornography use, infidelity, sexual shame, and relationship distress. Instead of viewing sexuality as the problem, we look at how sexual behavior functions in your life and what it is trying to regulate or communicate.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with sex addiction or problematic porn use and the impact these behaviors have on trust, intimacy, and self respect. Out of control sexual behavior can feel confusing, isolating, and deeply shame inducing, especially when it conflicts with your values or causes harm to relationships you care about.
As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, I help clients understand how these patterns develop and what maintains them. Our work focuses on identifying triggers, emotional needs, and coping strategies, while also building healthier ways to manage stress, desire, and connection. Recovery is not about punishment or rigid control. It is about increasing awareness, accountability, and choice.
When sexual behavior has affected a relationship, I also work with partners to address betrayal, rebuild trust, and establish clearer boundaries. Whether you are seeking help individually or as a couple, therapy offers a structured and supportive space to reduce shame, interrupt destructive cycles, and move toward healthier sexuality and more honest connection.

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.

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.

James Foley Sexual Misbehavior, Infidelity , Expert 31 Years Experience
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, SOTS,
I help persons with what some persons describe as "Sexual Addiction". I help persons who have crossed some consequence creating boundary with their sexual behavior.
An example might be breaking professional boundaries and having sexual contact with a client. It could be sexually harassing or interacting with a work subordinate. Sending porn or "dick pics" to persons who it would create consequences for you doing so could also be an example. Getting yourself humiliated by being extorted for paid sexual services or sexually interacting with persons online would be another example.
I have seen almost all possible examples of persons making real world consequences for themselves with sexual misbehavior.
There is almost nothing in their realm I have not seen a great many times over.
I have a fantastic record of success in helping persons learn how to think and act in ways which remove these misbehaviors from their life.
