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
Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Sex and pornography addiction can be treated using hypnotherapy, which aims to rewire subconscious patterns, reduce urges, and break addiction cycles by focusing on positive habit replacement. How Hypnotherapy Treats Porn/Sex Addiction:Rewiring the Brain: It helps change the brain’s dopamine-driven, rewarding link to pornography, reducing automatic urges.Subconscious Re-programming: Hypnotherapy can uncover and address the root causes of the addiction, including underlying shame or trauma.Behavioral Change: Techniques such as suggestion therapy, visualization, and regression are used to associate negative experiences with porn, while fostering healthier habits.
My clients addicted to sex and porn have been resilient and recovering due to my Dicit Hypnotherapy.

The Florida Center for Healthy Sexuality
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, CST, CSAT
Trained as a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist helps exploration of Sex and Porn Addiction and/or Compulsivity behaviors. Exploring underlying unconscious conflicts, attachment patterns and emotional wounds that drive these compulsive behaviors suggest that this behavior may serve as a coping mechanism for unmet emotional needs, unresolved childhood experiences or internalized shame. By bringing the unconscious motivations to awareness through therapeutic exploration of thoughts, feelings and relational patterns, individuals can better understand the root cause of these behaviors and develop healthier coping strategies.

As with substances and gambling, sexual addictions function to alter consciousness and can lead to negative consequences. Learning other strategies to self-soothe is key to change.

New Bedford is a southeastern Massachusetts city with one of the most distinctive identities of any American city of its size—Herman Melville's Moby-Dick opens here, and the city was once the richest per capita in America thanks to its whaling industry—now home to the highest-volume commercial fishing port in the United States by dollar value, with an economy still anchored by fishing, manufacturing, and logistics. The city has a large Cape Verdean-American community (one of the largest in the world outside Cape Verde), as well as significant Portuguese and Brazilian populations, and the intersection of these communities' mental health needs—including the specific experiences of Cape Verdean identity, immigration, and intergenerational stress—creates important considerations for culturally competent care. Southcoast Health provides behavioral health services, and community health organizations serve the diverse population. Common therapy concerns include fishing industry occupational trauma and risk, Cape Verdean and Portuguese-American identity and immigration stress, economic anxiety, substance use (New Bedford has been significantly affected by opioids), and the mental health challenges of a proud working-class city navigating industrial and demographic change.
