Sex/Porn Addiction
Blair P. Bisher
Treatment Center, NCC, PhD(c), CSAT-c, MS, MHA, PMP
As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist candidate I specialize in helping men understand and overcome sex addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior. I leverage an 8-session curriculum to define the problem/solution, establish identity, outline the addiction cycle and interventions to stop unwanted behavior, defense mechanisms and ultimately move towards sustainability and maintenance. Group sessions are also available.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
Struggles regarding sex are often less about desire itself and more about what those behaviors are asked to hold in your psychic world. In psychoanalytic work, we become curious about the emotional life, unmet longings, and unspoken conflicts that may be shaping patterns around sex and intimacy. Over time, this process can support greater freedom, choice, and a more integrated relationship to desire, one that feels intentional rather than driven.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
The word 'addiction' for these may be debatable because they are not a substance, but they still have a strong neurological response that feels impossible to break on one's own. With addiction/ compulsion to sex, it's often really about connection to other people and finding/ seeking approval, trying to find one's self-worth by sexually connecting to others along with the need for the body's chemically produced 'high'. With porn compulsion it's typically the same but needing the 'high' created from porn, to deal with negative emotions. 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 have become dependent on the natural chemical high that the brain and body create, 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 because of their past experiences, and as they get identified and addressed, they can be interrupted and removed. New, healthy, empowering beliefs of being/ feeling enough, they are in control, they have or can create real and healthy connections with people etc, are put in their place, resulting in the elimination of the underlying need for the addiction at the subconscious level. Alongside the therapy is taking a look at the lifestyle and social connections of the individual, and providing support and implementing strategies to find new healthy habits and meaningful activities to replace the need and the urges for the dopamine/ chemical spike. It will involve trading an immediate high for less immediate gratification, and learning to handle stresses and emotions that may be triggers, but in doing so will prove to be much more worthwhile and helpful. Compassionate ongoing support after the recommended 3 session(s) will be available, along with the check-ins.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I help individuals explore the triggers and underlying factors contributing to their sex addiction. This may involve examining psychological, emotional, relational, and environmental factors that drive compulsive sexual behaviors, such as unresolved trauma, emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem, intimacy issues, or maladaptive coping mechanisms. Through insight-oriented therapy, I support individuals in identifying and addressing the root causes of their addiction.
