Sex/Porn Addiction
Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have found that people who are addicted to sex need to understand the function the addiction is playing in their life. With this knowledge, the individual can better address their problems and desires. I also teach people skills for unconditionally accepting themselves as shame and self-downing will not help them overcome their issues in this sphere of life. Finally, I teach people how to cope with sexual urges that will get them into trouble and how to live meaningful lives.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
With addiction to sex or pornography, the person feels like they cannot quit, or if they have tried to on their own, find they keep going back to the addiction. Sex addiction is often really about connection to other people, while trying to find one's self-worth by sexually connecting to others. 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 want the natural chemical high that the brain and body create as a result of orgasm, 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, and as they get identified and addressed, they can be interrupted and removed. New, healthy, empowering beliefs of being/ feeling enough, etc, are put in their place, resulting in the elimination of the underlying need for the addiction at the subconscious level. Ongoing support after the session(s) will be available.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
Many people use the term “sex or porn addiction” to describe feeling out of control with sexual behavior, but I do not see your sexuality as a disease to be cured or a moral failure to fix. Instead, we look at patterns of compulsive or out‑of‑control sexual behavior in the context of trauma, shame, nervous‑system coping, and the meanings sex has held in your life. Together, we work to reduce secrecy and shame, understand what your sexual behavior has been trying to manage or soothe, and build safer, more values‑aligned ways to experience pleasure, connection, and integrity in your sexual life and relationships.
