Sex and Porn Addiction
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.

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.

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.

Compulsive sexual behaviors or pornography use can feel difficult to control and may impact your relationships, self image, and daily life. You may feel shame or frustration about patterns that are hard to change. In therapy we will focus on understanding what is driving these behaviors and building healthier ways to cope and connect. The goal is to help you regain a sense of control and develop a more balanced relationship with yourself and others.

Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
I offer a confidential space to discuss your behaviors, compulsions, related concerns, and any aspect of yourself that you may either wish to change or hold onto. Let us explore, in an honest and shame-free atmosphere, how you relate to yourself and others through fantasy and the body to understand yourself, your desires, and your needs more deeply. If you are facing legal problems or the dissolution of valued relationships owing to sexual addiction, let us find ways to cope and change, if and when you are ready.

Sex and Porn Addiction
Douglairian psychology apc
Marriage and Family Therapist, Lmft
I offer a compassionate, non-shaming alternative to sex addiction treatment—one that focuses on understanding, choice, and sexual health, rather than labels or lifelong pathology. I work with individuals struggling with out-of-control sexual behavior, compulsive pornography use, infidelity, sexual shame, and relationship distress. Instead of viewing sexuality as the problem, we look at how sexual behavior functions in your life and what it is trying to regulate or communicate.

Pasadena is home to Caltech and the Huntington Hospital, and the city's intellectual, academic culture creates demand for therapists experienced in working with high-achievers navigating perfectionism, burnout, and the psychological demands of elite academic and scientific environments. The city's established residential character and proximity to Los Angeles give it a distinct therapy landscape — less entertainment-focused than West Hollywood, more oriented toward depth work, relationships, and long-term growth. Pasadena also has a significant older adult population, with therapists specializing in aging, life review, and elder family dynamics well represented. Many practices serve clients drawn from across the San Gabriel Valley and Foothill communities.
