Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Sex addiction is arguably the biggest thing nobody talks about. Often times it goes unnoticed and therefore unaddressed. Sexual addiction is something that keeps us from the connection we know intrinsically we are made to experience. In our work together I help you get to the root issues that underly your sexual addiction so can experience the love, connection, and peace you are really after.

Sexual Recovery Coach
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, CST, CADC-III, CTA-CC
Sexual addiction carries with it a degree of secrecy, and often shame, that other addictions do not have to deal with. The worst part of a sexual addiction for many is the compulsion to do things that are outside their personal value system. When a person behaves in a way that is not congruent with their moral compass, it can create great distress and confusion. My program to treat this addiction is based on proven techniques involving cognitive-behavioral, trauma-centered, and neurological components. Over time we can help you rewire your brain so that these compulsions no longer drive you.

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.

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.
