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
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
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.

Sex and Porn Addiction
Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Sexual addiction can feel overwhelming and isolating, often rooted in emotional pain or unresolved trauma. Whether you're actively struggling or in recovery, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore the patterns behind compulsive behaviors. Together, we’ll work on building healthier coping strategies, restoring control, and addressing the emotional and relational impacts. Using evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and relapse prevention, my goal is to support lasting healing and personal growth. Recovery is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.
