Sex/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/Porn Addiction
Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Compulsive sexual behavior or pornography use can interfere with relationships, work, self-esteem, and emotional well-being. Cycles of urges, secrecy, temporary relief, and shame may feel difficult to interrupt, but these patterns do not define your character or worth.
I provide confidential, nonjudgmental support to help clients understand their triggers, regulate difficult emotions, and develop healthier ways of responding to urges. Together, we work to reduce shame, strengthen accountability, rebuild trust, and create a more balanced and values-consistent relationship with sexuality and intimacy.

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.
