Sex/Porn Addiction
Francis A. Bax

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.

We address Sexual Addiction with clinical depth and a fundamental rejection of shame-based religious or carceral models. As an addictions specialist, I help you understand the behavioral cycles you've used to survive, while building new pathways for intimacy and self-regulation. We focus on the "why" behind the behavior to help you reclaim your sexual and emotional agency.

Sex/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.

Amherst is a suburban town of Buffalo and home to the North Campus of the University at Buffalo, one of the largest universities in the State University of New York system, bringing a substantial student population and the mental health demands that come with a large public research university. The town's generally affluent suburban character contrasts with the significant challenges faced by neighboring Buffalo, and many residents access mental health services in the broader Buffalo metro area alongside local providers. UB's counseling services are a primary resource for students, and a private therapy sector serves Amherst's established families and professional residents. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic and identity development stress at a large research university, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and the transitional challenges of navigating life in a prosperous suburb adjacent to a struggling urban center.
