Sex and Porn Addiction
Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Compulsive sexual behaviors often serve as a way to manage stress, disconnection, or difficult emotions. I work with individuals to understand the underlying patterns driving these behaviors, rather than only focusing on stopping them. Through this work, clients develop greater awareness, stronger boundaries, and more intentional ways of relating to themselves and others.

Sex and Porn Addiction
James Foley Sexual Misbehavior, Infidelity , Expert 31 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.

Sex and 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.

Sex and Porn Addiction
Maren Jorgensen
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental and non-pathologizing alternative to sex addiction treatment. Porn and sex are nothing to feel shameful about. Let’s address underlying compulsivity, trauma, and stress instead.
