Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In addressing the challenges of sexual addiction, I offer a compassionate and understanding space for clients to confront and work through their struggles. By blending a variety of holistic strategies and psychotherapeutic tools, such as Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, we embark on a journey towards healing and self-control. This personalized approach helps to uncover the underlying issues fueling the addiction, while also equipping clients with the skills needed to manage impulses and rebuild healthier relationships. Emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and self-compassion, we work together to foster a deeper connection to one’s self, promoting lasting change and empowerment. My role is to guide you through this process, providing support and the necessary tools to navigate the complexities of sexual addiction, aiming for a balanced and fulfilling life.

As with any addiction, sexual addiction is about behavior change and recognizing why the addiction started, what it does for you, and ultimately skills and tools to change the behavior.

Adrian Scharfetter
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, CST
While I do not follow an "addiction" model when it comes to sexuality, I can help individuals explore what we call 'out-of-control sexual behavior' which decreases shame/stigma around one's struggles. I can help wih sexual function, porn "addiction", extremely high libido, or anything that may feel like you may need support around, without feeling othered or guilt.

James Foley Sexual Misbehavior, Infidelity , Expert 26 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.
