Sex/Porn Addiction
Kari Carter
Life Coach, APSATS certified, ACC, CPC, ADOH
The impact of sex and porn addiction on a partner is profound and often traumatic. Discovery can lead to shock, hypervigilance, intrusive thoughts, body image struggles, and a deep rupture of emotional safety. My work focuses specifically on supporting the betrayed partner - not treating the addiction itself, but addressing the trauma response that follows it.
Using a partner-sensitive, trauma-informed model, I help clients stabilize their nervous system, establish protective boundaries, process betrayal wounds, and regain clarity about their next steps. Partners deserve support that validate the harm experienced rather than minimizing it or pathologizing their response.
Living alongside sex or porn addiction can leave you feeling unseen, unsafe, and questioning your worth. I specialize in supporting partners as they navigate the trauma of addiction-related betrayal, helping them move from chaos and confusion toward strength, clarity, and empowered decision-making.

Sex/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.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Dr. Mike Strand
Psychologist, PsyD
Sex addiction can create a complex web of secrecy, shame, and guilt, disrupting personal relationships and self-image. In my practice, I approach these sensitive issues with understanding and confidentiality, acknowledging the strength it takes to seek help. Through tailored therapy, I provide guidance towards understanding triggers, developing healthier coping mechanisms, and rebuilding a sense of control and self-respect.
