Sex and Porn Addiction
Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
When porn use or compulsive sexual behaviors start interfering with your life, relationships, intimacy, or sense of self, shame and secrecy often make it even harder to address. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to understand the function these behaviors serve, explore underlying emotional or relational patterns, and develop healthier ways to experience desire, connection, and pleasure. Whether you come alone or with a partner, we work toward greater freedom, honesty, and the kind of satisfying intimate life you want—without shame or pathologizing normal sexuality.

Sex and Porn Addiction
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for sexual addiction, compulsive sexual behaviors, pornography addiction, infidelity-related issues, and the relationship trauma that often accompanies these struggles. Sexual addiction can deeply impact trust, emotional intimacy, self-esteem, marriage, family stability, and overall emotional well-being, often creating cycles of secrecy, shame, guilt, anxiety, and disconnection within relationships.
Many high-functioning and high-achieving individuals silently struggle with compulsive sexual behaviors while appearing successful professionally or socially. Despite external success, these behaviors can create profound internal conflict, emotional distress, relationship instability, and feelings of isolation or loss of control. Partners often experience betrayal trauma, emotional pain, hypervigilance, and difficulty rebuilding trust after discovering compulsive sexual behaviors or infidelity.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to sexual addiction counseling, helping clients understand the deeper emotional and psychological factors driving compulsive behaviors. Sexual addiction is often connected to unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, emotional neglect, chronic stress, shame, dissociation, or unhealthy coping patterns developed over time. Therapy focuses not only on behavior change, but on understanding and healing the root causes contributing to the cycle.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support meaningful and lasting recovery. Treatment focuses on reducing compulsive behaviors, resolving shame and guilt, improving emotional regulation, strengthening self-awareness, and helping clients develop healthier coping strategies and more authentic emotional connections.
Brad also works extensively with couples and relationship dynamics impacted by sexual addiction, betrayal trauma, and trust violations. Therapy may include rebuilding communication, restoring emotional safety, establishing healthy boundaries, and repairing trust within the relationship when appropriate. Partners are supported in understanding the impact of betrayal trauma while also creating healthier relational patterns moving forward.
Therapy provides a confidential, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients and couples can openly address painful experiences without shame or condemnation. The goal is not simply behavioral control, but deeper emotional healing, restored integrity, healthier relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth and connection.
Healing and recovery are possible. With the right support, individuals and couples can move beyond cycles of addiction, shame, and disconnection to create healthier relationships built on trust, honesty, emotional intimacy, and lasting change.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, providing confidential and convenient access to specialized trauma-focused therapy from the comfort and privacy of home.

Sex and 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.
