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.

Dr. Israel Martinez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST, PhD
I am a certified sex therapist. Sex therapy takes a whole-person approach—addressing mind, body, and relationships. I help clients navigate concerns with sexual function, desire, arousal, satisfaction, and intimacy in a safe, nonjudgmental space. Together, we’ll explore the emotional, physical, and relational factors influencing your sexual well-being and develop strategies that foster confidence, connection, and fulfillment.
My goal is to help you move beyond performance concerns and shame so you can experience deeper pleasure, authenticity, and resilience in your life and relationships.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
Sexuality can be one of the most intimate expressions of who we are, which is also why sex can become so complicated. Difficulties with sex often carry emotional meanings that are not immediately obvious and may be connected to how we have learned to experience closeness, vulnerability, or our own bodies. I offer a sex-positive space where sexuality can be spoken about openly and without judgment. The work is less about deciding what is “normal” and more about understanding what your sexual life means to you, so that desire and intimacy can feel less constrained by fear or shame.
