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.

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
Sexual Recovery Coach
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, CST, CADC-III, CTA-CC
Sexual addiction carries with it a degree of secrecy, and often shame, that other addictions do not have to deal with. The worst part of a sexual addiction for many is the compulsion to do things that are outside their personal value system. When a person behaves in a way that is not congruent with their moral compass, it can create great distress and confusion. My program to treat this addiction is based on proven techniques involving cognitive-behavioral, trauma-centered, and neurological components. Over time we can help you rewire your brain so that these compulsions no longer drive you.

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.

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.

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.

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.
