Sex/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/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.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Laura Potel
Therapist, LCAT, CST
"Sex addiction" and "porn addiction" are often self-diagnosed and can have significant negative impacts on one's life. I am here to help with these issues, clinically understood as compulsive or out of control sexual behavior. Through a combination of psychodynamic work, behavioral therapy, harm reduction, and sex therapy techniques, I have supported many clients in healing their relationship with sex and porn use.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have found that people who are addicted to sex need to understand the function the addiction is playing in their life. With this knowledge, the individual can better address their problems and desires. I also teach people skills for unconditionally accepting themselves as shame and self-downing will not help them overcome their issues in this sphere of life. Finally, I teach people how to cope with sexual urges that will get them into trouble and how to live meaningful lives.

Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Compulsive sexual behaviour or porn use is often a coping strategy for something else, whether that’s stress, disconnection, or unresolved trauma. I work with clients discreetly and without judgement to understand the function it’s serving and build sustainable alternatives, alongside addressing any relational impact where relevant.
