Sex and Porn Addiction
Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
When porn use or compulsive sexual behaviors start interfering with your life, relationships, intimacy, or sense of self, shame and secrecy often make it even harder to address. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to understand the function these behaviors serve, explore underlying emotional or relational patterns, and develop healthier ways to experience desire, connection, and pleasure. Whether you come alone or with a partner, we work toward greater freedom, honesty, and the kind of satisfying intimate life you want—without shame or pathologizing normal sexuality.

Sex and Porn Addiction
Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Concerns around pornography use and sexual behaviors are often accompanied by shame, secrecy, and self-judgment. I take a non-pathologizing, destigmatizing approach, recognizing that these patterns are often meaningful attempts to cope or address unmet needs. Rather than focusing on labels, we work to understand the underlying dynamics and explore fulfilling, sustainable ways of relating to yourself and others.

Sex and Porn Addiction
IVAN VELASCO
Counselor/Therapist, MSMFT, LCPC
We started to talk about sexual addictions in the 90s when I began my research on the topic due to the need for answers while living abroad. This led me to develop a unique understanding of the behavior helping men to regain control over their sexuality.

Sex and Porn Addiction
Edward Alderson
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC; NCC
I work with men who experiencing sex and porn addiction. I use a combination of CBT, DBT, and ACT skills to help the client work through sex and porn addiction. CBT and ACT skills are used to help clients identify root causes and to challenge ineffective negative thoughts and behaviors, impulsive thoughts, and intrusive thoughts related to sex and porn addiction. Concrete skills to manage addiction are introduced and practiced including harm reduction techniques, urge surfing techniques and 5 second and STOP technique, and stop, think, act technique.
