Sex/Porn Addiction
Alistair Highet
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LP, NCPsyA
Pornography and technology have entered our lives with an intensity we could not have anticipated, and for which we were not equipped. We are searching for something life-enhancing, but go chasing down a dark tunnel that leads us to despair. We don't have to judge that. We can understand it, both personally and in relation to our culture as a whole. I can help you bring this searching back into perspective, to something human and manageable.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
The word 'addiction' for these may be debatable because they are not a substance, but they still have a strong neurological response that feels impossible to break on one's own. With addiction/ compulsion to sex, it's often really about connection to other people and finding/ seeking approval, trying to find one's self-worth by sexually connecting to others along with the need for the body's chemically produced 'high'. With porn compulsion it's typically the same but needing the 'high' created from porn, to deal with negative emotions. It also has roots in a person trying to feel accepted/ acceptable, based on an addict's deep-seated belief that most do not accept themselves. Sex and porn addicts have become dependent on the natural chemical high that the brain and body create, using it to move toward pleasure and move away from pain, to numb other underlying emotions, or to feel like they are enough. They must ask themselves, "What am I trying to numb or avoid or fulfill with the addiction?" Rapid Transformational Therapy can help change the core negative beliefs that a person has unconsciously formed about themselves because of their past experiences, and as they get identified and addressed, they can be interrupted and removed. New, healthy, empowering beliefs of being/ feeling enough, they are in control, they have or can create real and healthy connections with people etc, are put in their place, resulting in the elimination of the underlying need for the addiction at the subconscious level. Alongside the therapy is taking a look at the lifestyle and social connections of the individual, and providing support and implementing strategies to find new healthy habits and meaningful activities to replace the need and the urges for the dopamine/ chemical spike. It will involve trading an immediate high for less immediate gratification, and learning to handle stresses and emotions that may be triggers, but in doing so will prove to be much more worthwhile and helpful. Compassionate ongoing support after the recommended 3 session(s) will be available, along with the check-ins.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Shelia King
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, Certified Sex Addiction & Certified Multiple Addictions Therapist
I work with successful, driven men who are tired of the secrecy, shame, and loss of control that come with compulsive sexual behavior. Together, we work to uncover what’s really driving the patterns, replace them with clear, sustainable strategies, and build a life rooted in discipline, honesty, and self-respect.
I provide comprehensive assessments to determine the presence of addiction. When addiction is identified, treatment is guided by a structured 30‑Task Model that addresses the full scope of the addictive process.
