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.

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.

Francis A. Bax
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LMHC, LPC, CASAC-Master
Sexual addiction can destroy relationships and lives. In some instances, abnormal sexual behaviors can lead to abuse which can cause offenders to be incarcerated. I have significant forensic background and experience to work with those who are struggling with sexual addiction to ensure they can control their urges and obsessions and stay focused and on track with their lives.

Gary D. Alexander
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, MFT, NCC
Sexual and pornography addictions can develop as patterns of behavior that provide temporary relief from stress, loneliness, or difficult emotions, while also leading to secrecy, shame, or strain in relationships. In some instances, these patterns may also begin to affect a person’s professional life and overall well-being. In therapy we explore both the behavior itself and the emotional and relational dynamics that may be sustaining it, recognizing that these patterns can offer important clues about deeper needs or struggles. As understanding deepens and new ways of coping emerge, many people begin to experience greater self-control, increased openness in relationships, and a renewed sense of balance in their lives.
