Sex/Porn Addiction
Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with sex addiction or problematic porn use and the impact these behaviors have on trust, intimacy, and self respect. Out of control sexual behavior can feel confusing, isolating, and deeply shame inducing, especially when it conflicts with your values or causes harm to relationships you care about.
As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, I help clients understand how these patterns develop and what maintains them. Our work focuses on identifying triggers, emotional needs, and coping strategies, while also building healthier ways to manage stress, desire, and connection. Recovery is not about punishment or rigid control. It is about increasing awareness, accountability, and choice.
When sexual behavior has affected a relationship, I also work with partners to address betrayal, rebuild trust, and establish clearer boundaries. Whether you are seeking help individually or as a couple, therapy offers a structured and supportive space to reduce shame, interrupt destructive cycles, and move toward healthier sexuality and more honest connection.

Sex/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.
