Sex/Porn Addiction
Luis Maimoni
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sex addiction is something that is frequently discussed in the media, but there is no "official diagnosis" for it in the DSM-5, our diagnostic manual. Some say this is because there is insufficient research on the topic.
The clients I've met with who have believed themselves to be "sex addicts" were actually using sex to cope with another issue. Once the other issue was identified and treated, the need to engage in the unhelpful sexual coping activity was greatly reduced. I can't promise you the same result, but I can promise to treat you respect as we work together to understand what is driving the behavior you are seeking to reduce.

Sex/Porn Addiction
New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Struggling with sex or porn addiction can feel isolating, shame-filled, and disruptive to relationships, self-esteem, and spiritual life. In therapy, we provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore the underlying causes of addictive behaviors—often rooted in trauma, attachment wounds, or emotional struggles—and develop practical strategies for recovery. With Christ-centered guidance, clients learn to establish healthy boundaries, rebuild intimacy, restore self-worth, and cultivate emotional and spiritual healing, moving toward freedom, accountability, and lasting transformation.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Compulsive sexual behavior or pornography use can interfere with relationships, work, self-esteem, and emotional well-being. Cycles of urges, secrecy, temporary relief, and shame may feel difficult to interrupt, but these patterns do not define your character or worth.
I provide confidential, nonjudgmental support to help clients understand their triggers, regulate difficult emotions, and develop healthier ways of responding to urges. Together, we work to reduce shame, strengthen accountability, rebuild trust, and create a more balanced and values-consistent relationship with sexuality and intimacy.

Piyola Derbarseghian- Sex & Relationship Therapist
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
If you feel like your sexual choices are at odds with your values or are causing distress in your life or relationships, you’re not alone. I work with individuals navigating out of control sexual behavior, whether it's compulsive porn use, infidelity, or patterns that feel difficult to stop, to better understand the emotional, relational, and psychological factors involved. Together, we focus on moving beyond shame and building insight, choice, and meaningful change.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Problematic sexual behaviors — including compulsive porn use — are rarely about sex itself. They are most often about pain, disconnection, shame, or a nervous system looking for relief. I work from a harm reduction, client-centered approach using CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-focused methods to understand what's underneath the behavior and actually address it. I do not work from a twelve-step or "sex addiction" framework — not because I dismiss your struggle, but because shame-based models tend to create more of the very thing driving the behavior in the first place. You are not broken. Let's figure out what's actually going on.
