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.

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.
