Sex/Porn Addiction

Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist

Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
Sex is not inherently addictive. Just because you might like sex and sexual activity does not mean your addicted to it. Men and women who have developed a sexual addiction are caught up in repetitive activities that do not fulfill their needs and negatively impact their relationships, jobs and health. There are things you can do to change your relationship to your sexuality so that you can get the enjoyment you want from all areas of your life.

Sex/Porn Addiction

Mia Klassen

Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
Sexual addiction thrives in secrecy and shame—the excessive masturbation, pornography use, soliciting sex, or compulsive behaviors that leave you feeling out of control, anxious, guilty, and deeply alone. You're not morally weak or perverted; beneath the addiction lies unresolved trauma that you never learned to process or express. Together, we'll create a shame-free space to explore what's really driving the compulsions: the pain you're medicating, the intimacy you're avoiding, the wounds that sex became a bandage for. You'll learn healthier ways to manage urges, understand your triggers, and heal the trauma underneath. Freedom from the cycle is possible through compassion, not condemnation.

Sex/Porn Addiction

Julie Taylor Counselling

Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Sexual addiction, like all addictions, is driven by the psyche which is trying to salve a troublesome problem that we may not even be aware of and is trying to help us to survive. However as with any addiction, sexual addiction hijacks us and we need to get back in control of our own lives and destinies. Once we determine and understand why this addiction exists, we can start to process it and loosen its grip on us.

Red Deer, Alberta therapist: Nicholas Breitenbach, psychologist
Sex/Porn Addiction

Nicholas Breitenbach

Psychologist, R. Psych, CST, MA, BA
I help clients who feel stuck in patterns of compulsive sexual behaviour (often called “sex addiction”) that are causing distress, secrecy, shame, or harm to relationships. Therapy is a judgment-free space to understand what’s driving the behaviour—stress, trauma, loneliness, anxiety, unmet needs—and to build practical tools for impulse control, healthier coping, and honest accountability. Whether it involves pornography, affairs, or other behaviours that feel out of control, we’ll focus on reducing shame, rebuilding self-trust, and creating a sex life that’s aligned with your values instead of driven by urgency.
