Sex/Porn Addiction
Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Concerns around pornography use and sexual behaviors are often accompanied by shame, secrecy, and self-judgment. I take a non-pathologizing, destigmatizing approach, recognizing that these patterns are often meaningful attempts to cope or address unmet needs. Rather than focusing on labels, we work to understand the underlying dynamics and explore fulfilling, sustainable ways of relating to yourself and others.

Sex and pornography addiction can be treated using hypnotherapy, which aims to rewire subconscious patterns, reduce urges, and break addiction cycles by focusing on positive habit replacement. How Hypnotherapy Treats Porn/Sex Addiction:Rewiring the Brain: It helps change the brain’s dopamine-driven, rewarding link to pornography, reducing automatic urges.Subconscious Re-programming: Hypnotherapy can uncover and address the root causes of the addiction, including underlying shame or trauma.Behavioral Change: Techniques such as suggestion therapy, visualization, and regression are used to associate negative experiences with porn, while fostering healthier habits.
My clients addicted to sex and porn have been resilient and recovering due to my Dicit Hypnotherapy.

IVAN VELASCO

Sex/Porn Addiction
Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Struggles with sex or pornography can feel isolating, especially when they’re tied to shame, secrecy, or a sense of being out of control. In therapy, we approach this with curiosity rather than judgment—exploring what these behaviors may be serving, whether it’s coping with stress, loneliness, anxiety, or unmet emotional needs. Together, we’ll work to understand the patterns, reduce the sense of compulsion, and build healthier ways of relating to yourself, your sexuality, and your relationships—so that your choices feel more intentional and aligned with your values.

Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
Do you feel you or your partner are a sex addict? Maybe, however not all sex behaviors constitute a sexual addiction, and sometimes the sex behaviors may be a manifestation of a different problem. Regardless of an addiction or not, I can help address these issues by identifying the triggers, mange impulses and urges, find healthy ways of changing the behaviors. Further, we will explore any deeper reasons behind the behaviors and address any underlying psychological or emotional issues that may contribute to sexual issues.

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Out-of-control sexual behaviors and chronic pornography consumption can severely destabilize an individual's relationships, career, and self-worth. Utilizing evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), parts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma therapy and addiction recovery frameworks, I help clients interrupt compulsive behavioral loops. Our clinical work focuses on identifying underlying neurobiological and emotional triggers, establishing clear behavioral boundaries, and repairing relational trust while developing healthy, integrated approaches to intimacy.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have found that people who are addicted to sex need to understand the function the addiction is playing in their life. With this knowledge, the individual can better address their problems and desires. I also teach people skills for unconditionally accepting themselves as shame and self-downing will not help them overcome their issues in this sphere of life. Finally, I teach people how to cope with sexual urges that will get them into trouble and how to live meaningful lives.

Sex/Porn Addiction
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.
