Sex and Porn Addiction
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.

Sex and Porn Addiction
Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Struggles with sex or pornography can feel isolating, especially when they’re tied to shame, secrecy, or a sense of being out of control. In therapy, we approach this with curiosity rather than judgment—exploring what these behaviors may be serving, whether it’s coping with stress, loneliness, anxiety, or unmet emotional needs. Together, we’ll work to understand the patterns, reduce the sense of compulsion, and build healthier ways of relating to yourself, your sexuality, and your relationships—so that your choices feel more intentional and aligned with your values.

Sex and Porn Addiction
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
Struggles regarding sex are often less about desire itself and more about what those behaviors are asked to hold in your psychic world. In psychoanalytic work, we become curious about the emotional life, unmet longings, and unspoken conflicts that may be shaping patterns around sex and intimacy. Over time, this process can support greater freedom, choice, and a more integrated relationship to desire, one that feels intentional rather than driven.

Sex and Porn Addiction
Wayne Ayers
Psychologist, PhD
Like many 'process' addictions sexual addiction is complex. It is doubly so because it is a basic human need. We will discuss the role of the addiction in the persons life and use a harm reduction approach to affirm sexual desire and action while reducing the negative affects it has on other aspects of the persons life.

Sex and Porn Addiction
A Better High,LLC
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, C.A.R.C.
Shame keeps people trapped. I work with individuals struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, pornography addiction, secrecy, relationship damage, and the cycle of guilt and escape that often comes with it. My approach is direct but nonjudgmental. We focus on understanding the deeper patterns underneath the behavior — loneliness, anxiety, trauma, avoidance, self-worth — while building healthier ways to cope, connect, and regain control.
