Sex/Porn Addiction
Jacob Hamlin
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed., LMFT, CST
I work with clients who feel caught in patterns of compulsive sexual behavior, pornography use, secrecy, guilt, relapse, or conflict between sexual behavior and personal values. Rather than leading with shame or moral panic, I help clients understand the emotional and relational functions these behaviors may be serving. The goal is not simply behavior control, but greater honesty, accountability, self-understanding, and choice. Therapy may include exploring triggers, attachment needs, loneliness, stress, fantasy, avoidance, spirituality, boundaries, and repair in relationships impacted by secrecy or betrayal.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Problematic sexual behaviors — including compulsive porn use — are rarely about sex itself. They are most often about pain, disconnection, shame, or a nervous system looking for relief. I work from a harm reduction, client-centered approach using CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-focused methods to understand what's underneath the behavior and actually address it. I do not work from a twelve-step or "sex addiction" framework — not because I dismiss your struggle, but because shame-based models tend to create more of the very thing driving the behavior in the first place. You are not broken. Let's figure out what's actually going on.

Sex/Porn Addiction
John Burkin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC, CPL, Registered Member MBACP
I prefer to describe this topic as Sexual Compulsion as there is no chemical or physiological dependence occurring. I believe there is a much higher affliction rate of persons engaged in some form of sexual compulsion than is truly known due to the stigma associated with sexual behavior. My belief and approach for persons who wish to address their sexual activity and what they may believe to be compulsive sexual activity is to create a safe, non-judgmental and non-stigmatic environment. I choose to approach sexual activity by normalizing with clients. This means I do not take a position on your personal beliefs nor wish to override or interfere with them. The boundaries I have are simple; legal and consensual. From there I will help work with you to identify what practices are interfering with your wellbeing and we can find solutions which work for you.

Sex/Porn Addiction
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.
