Sex Therapy
Peter D. Ruffini, Sex & Porn Addiction Expert
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II, CSAT-C
Sex therapy at Proven Path Counseling focuses on restoring emotional and physical intimacy after disruption—whether from performance anxiety, excessive pornography use, compulsive sexual behavior, infidelity, or a breach of trust. Many men want connection again but feel blocked by anxiety, shame, avoidance, or disconnection from their partner.
This work addresses the underlying drivers—nervous system dysregulation, conditioned arousal, distorted expectations, and fear of closeness—so intimacy becomes safe, responsive, and mutual again. The goal is not just sexual functioning, but rebuilding trust, presence, and confidence within a committed relationship.

Sex Therapy
Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
Sex can become a source of pressure, rejection, shame, or disconnection even in relationships where love and commitment are strong. I am a trained sex therapist who works with individuals and couples who feel disconnected from their erotic selves, struggle with mismatched desire, or are dissatisfied with what their sex life looks like. Together, we explore what may be getting in the way, including relationship dynamics, trauma, body image, shame, difficulty accessing your own needs, or patterns of pursuing and avoiding intimacy. Our work goes beyond addressing a sexual concern in isolation; it is about reconnecting with your sexuality, vitality, and capacity for pleasure while building a sexual life that feels authentic, mutual, and alive.

Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with individuals and couples to address a wide range of sexual concerns and dysfunctions. This may involve exploring factors contributing to sexual difficulties, identifying cognitive, emotional, and behavioral patterns that may be maintaining the issue, and developing tailored treatment plans to address the root causes of the concern. I employ evidence-based interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, sensate focus exercises, and communication skills training to help clients overcome sexual challenges and enhance sexual satisfaction.
