Peter D. Ruffini, Sex & Porn Addiction Expert
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II, CSAT-C
As an award-winning psychotherapist, I specialize in high-impact individual therapy for capable men. With over 15 years of experience and advanced trauma training, I’m known for my work in pornography addiction, sex addiction, and men’s mental health. My practice is frequently sought out by other therapists who refer men facing issues requiring specialized treatment—such as sex and porn addiction, trauma, anger, infidelity, and anxiety. I have also been featured in media speaking about these topics.
As a clinical supervisor, I train other therapists in gold-standard, evidence-based treatments. I provide expert, structured, results-oriented therapy for men who want real change—not generic talk therapy or surface-level coping. Clients reach out when they want depth, direction, and results so if you’re here, you’ve already taken the first step toward real change. See why men across PA, NJ, and DE choose Proven Path Counseling.

Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
Our practice is grounded in a deep appreciation for the diverse experiences that shape each person’s life. Our founder grew up in Jamaica, Queens, surrounded and supported by three generations of remarkable women—an experience that continues to inform the values of care, resilience, and community that guide our work today. Across our practice, we have the privilege of supporting individuals from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, gender identities, and socioeconomic experiences, each bringing their own unique perspectives and concerns. As a practice founded by a Black, queer, first-generation college graduate, we hold a strong awareness of how power, privilege, and systemic forces shape daily life and mental health. We also recognize the vulnerability it takes to seek therapy. Our work is informed not only by clinical expertise, but by a deep respect for the courage and commitment involved in pursuing healing and meaningful change. This perspective shapes our intention to create a space that is thoughtful, affirming, and responsive to the full complexity of our clients’ lived experiences.

Is anxiety, whether chronic or situational, hindering your ability to live a life free from fear? Do you struggle to silence or control the relentless, illogical thoughts that dominate your mind, triggering fearful responses and creating discomfort throughout your body? Maybe anxiety has disrupted your sleep, changed your eating patterns, or led to unsettling physical symptoms like heart palpitations, pain, or excessive sweating.
The experience of anxiety can feel like being trapped under turbulent water. Anxiety disorders can manifest in various ways. Regardless of how it's affecting you, the positive news is that with the right anxiety treatment, strategies, and coaching, it's possible to alleviate, manage, and eventually overcome anxiety and the fear it brings.
If anxiety is preventing you from doing the things you want or need to do, seeking treatment for anxiety could be crucial for your well-being, providing significant relief.
