Sex Therapy
Peter D. Ruffini, Sex & Porn Addiction Expert
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II, CSAT-C
Sex therapy at Proven Path Counseling focuses on restoring emotional and physical intimacy after disruption—whether from performance anxiety, excessive pornography use, compulsive sexual behavior, infidelity, or a breach of trust. Many men want connection again but feel blocked by anxiety, shame, avoidance, or disconnection from their partner.
This work addresses the underlying drivers—nervous system dysregulation, conditioned arousal, distorted expectations, and fear of closeness—so intimacy becomes safe, responsive, and mutual again. The goal is not just sexual functioning, but rebuilding trust, presence, and confidence within a committed relationship.
