Chris 'Bucky' Bateman

Pornography and sexual compulsivity can quietly devastate relationships and erode a person's sense of self. We provide compassionate, non-shaming support for individuals and couples navigating the impact of porn addiction helping clients understand what drives the behavior, rebuild trust with their partner, and develop healthier patterns of intimacy and connection.

Sex/Porn Addiction
True You Ministries | Stacy Echeverria Co-Founder
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Pastoral Counselor
Sex and pornography addiction can create painful cycles of secrecy, shame, and behaviors that conflict with your faith, values, and relationships. I provide compassionate, Christ-centered support to help uncover the emotional wounds, beliefs, triggers, and coping patterns beneath these behaviors. Together, we focus on breaking unhealthy cycles, developing healthier ways of responding, rebuilding integrity, and moving toward lasting recovery and greater freedom—without shame or condemnation.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Christopher Cannon
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, CAS, SEP
Compulsive porn use or sexual behavior often carries a lot of shame, which tends to make the cycle worse. I approach this work without judgment, looking at how these behaviors help regulate stress, loneliness, or numbness. Together we build awareness of the urges as they arise in the body and develop other ways to meet those needs, while repairing trust in your relationships if that’s part of your goal.
