Sex/Porn Addiction
Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I help individuals explore the triggers and underlying factors contributing to their sex addiction. This may involve examining psychological, emotional, relational, and environmental factors that drive compulsive sexual behaviors, such as unresolved trauma, emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem, intimacy issues, or maladaptive coping mechanisms. Through insight-oriented therapy, I support individuals in identifying and addressing the root causes of their addiction.

Hayden Dover
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, CST
I work with clients who feel concerned about compulsive sexual behavior, pornography use, secrecy, shame, or sexual choices that feel out of alignment with the life and relationships they want. My approach is direct, sex-positive, and non-judgmental. We look at sexuality, emotion, body awareness, relationships, values, and responsibility. This work is about honesty, self-understanding, choice, and a healthier relationship with sexuality.

Sex/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.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Sex and porn addiction hijack the brain's reward circuitry the same way substances do — flooding dopamine pathways with artificial intensity until ordinary life feels colorless and the compulsive behavior feels impossible to resist.
Neurofeedback retrains these dysregulated reward circuits directly, quieting the craving-driven hyperarousal while rebuilding the prefrontal control systems that compulsive behavior systematically dismantles. The brain learns to find equilibrium again — without requiring the escalating stimulus that fed the cycle.

Sex/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.

Online in San Diego, CA California
San Diego's identity as a major military and biotech hub creates dual demand for therapists specializing in veteran trauma and PTSD on one hand, and the high-functioning anxiety and burnout of the life sciences industry on the other. The city's large active-duty population at Naval Base San Diego and Camp Pendleton means therapists with military specialty training are consistently sought after, and many practices are specifically oriented toward service members and their families. San Diego's border location and large Latino population drive demand for bilingual therapists and culturally affirming care for immigrant and mixed-status families. Scripps Health and UC San Diego Health provide institutional mental health anchors across the county.
