Sex/Porn Addiction
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.

Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
I offer a confidential space to discuss your behaviors, compulsions, related concerns, and any aspect of yourself that you may either wish to change or hold onto. Let us explore, in an honest and shame-free atmosphere, how you relate to yourself and others through fantasy and the body to understand yourself, your desires, and your needs more deeply. If you are facing legal problems or the dissolution of valued relationships owing to sexual addiction, let us find ways to cope and change, if and when you are ready.

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.

Matthew Bishop
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctorate in Behavioral Health Leadership
When sexual behavior feels out of control or disconnected from values, it can harm relationships and self-esteem. I help clients examine the role sex is playing in their lives and develop healthier ways of managing desire, connection, and coping.

Sex/Porn Addiction
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.

Riverside is home to UC Riverside and is the economic and cultural hub of the Inland Empire — a vast suburban region east of Los Angeles where high housing costs, long commutes, and economic pressures create distinct mental health challenges for a predominantly working- and middle-class population. The city has a significant Latino and Black population, and bilingual and culturally affirming therapists serve important access roles in communities where language and cultural fit are barriers to mainstream mental health services. Riverside University Health System provides institutional mental health resources for one of California's largest and fastest-growing counties. UC Riverside's psychology program feeds practitioners into the local community, though the Inland Empire as a whole remains underserved relative to coastal California metros.
