Sex/Porn Addiction
Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Sex and porn addiction hijack the brain's reward circuitry the same way substances do — flooding dopamine pathways with artificial intensity until ordinary life feels colorless and the compulsive behavior feels impossible to resist.
Neurofeedback retrains these dysregulated reward circuits directly, quieting the craving-driven hyperarousal while rebuilding the prefrontal control systems that compulsive behavior systematically dismantles. The brain learns to find equilibrium again — without requiring the escalating stimulus that fed the cycle.

Sex/Porn Addiction
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
Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I help individuals explore the triggers and underlying factors contributing to their sex addiction. This may involve examining psychological, emotional, relational, and environmental factors that drive compulsive sexual behaviors, such as unresolved trauma, emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem, intimacy issues, or maladaptive coping mechanisms. Through insight-oriented therapy, I support individuals in identifying and addressing the root causes of their addiction.
