Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S, CST
Concerns related to sex or pornography use often involve secrecy, shame, and significant strain on relationships. Clients may seek therapy due to loss of trust, emotional distance, or difficulty regulating behavior despite negative consequences.
Therapy focuses on understanding the role these behaviors play, addressing underlying emotional and relational factors, and rebuilding trust where possible. Our approach is non-judgmental and structured, helping clients develop accountability, clarity, and healthier coping strategies while supporting relational repair when appropriate.

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 and pornography addiction are among the most misunderstood and least talked about struggles people carry. There is so much shame wrapped around it that most people suffer in silence for years before ever telling anyone. If that is you, we want you to know something important: you are not broken, you are not beyond help, and you do not have to be ashamed to walk through our door.
Compulsive sexual behavior and pornography addiction are real, recognized conditions that affect people across all walks of life, including high-functioning professionals, devoted partners, and dedicated service members who would never want anyone to know. The secrecy itself becomes part of the cycle, and breaking that cycle starts with finding a safe place to be honest.
At CCW International, we provide a judgment-free space to explore what is driving the compulsive behavior, how it is affecting your relationships and your sense of self, and what recovery actually looks like for you. We use evidence-based approaches to help you understand the underlying patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and rebuild trust in yourself and your relationships.
Asking for help with this takes extraordinary courage. We honor that courage, and we are ready to meet you with compassion, not judgment.
You took the hardest step by reaching out. We will take it from here.

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.
