Peter D. Ruffini, Sex & Porn Addiction Expert
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II, CSAT-C
As an award-winning psychotherapist, I specialize in high-impact individual therapy for capable men. With over 15 years of experience and advanced trauma training, I’m known for my work in pornography addiction, sex addiction, and men’s mental health. My practice is frequently sought out by other therapists who refer men facing issues requiring specialized treatment—such as sex and porn addiction, trauma, anger, infidelity, and anxiety. I have also been featured in media speaking about these topics.
As a clinical supervisor, I train other therapists in gold-standard, evidence-based treatments. I provide expert, structured, results-oriented therapy for men who want real change—not generic talk therapy or surface-level coping. Clients reach out when they want depth, direction, and results so if you’re here, you’ve already taken the first step toward real change. See why men across PA, NJ, and DE choose Proven Path Counseling.

Individuals and couples that work with me find that they are able to better understand complicated dynamics that occur in their relationships, including insecure attachment, negative core beliefs, and effects of past traumas on current relationships. I also help individuals process through fears, depression, and other mental health concerns from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach.

Psychworks Clinic
Psychologist, PHD
At PsychWorks Clinic, our goal is to create a space that is grounded in compassion, cultural awareness, and honesty.
Therapy is a partnership. We work together to unpack the stories you’ve been told and the ones you tell yourself, to find the truth underneath and build something stronger in its place. Whether we're working with a child finding their voice, a couple rebuilding connection, or a man learning it’s okay to feel, growth doesn’t always look like comfort, but it always leads to freedom.
This work is deeply human. And every session, every conversation, is an opportunity to remind someone that they are not broken, they’re becoming.
