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.

Do you feel you or your partner are a sex addict? Maybe, however not all sex behaviors constitute a sexual addiction, and sometimes the sex behaviors may be a manifestation of a different problem. Regardless of an addiction or not, I can help address these issues by identifying the triggers, mange impulses and urges, find healthy ways of changing the behaviors. Further, we will explore any deeper reasons behind the behaviors and address any underlying psychological or emotional issues that may contribute to sexual issues.

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.
