Sex/Porn Addiction
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Sex and porn use are often talked about in extremes—either minimized or labeled in ways that don’t leave room for nuance. For many people, these patterns are tied to stress, coping, loneliness, shame, or ways of managing difficult emotions. What starts as something that provides relief or escape can become something that feels harder to control, especially when it begins to impact relationships, self-perception, or daily functioning. Cultural messages about sex—what’s acceptable, what’s taboo, what’s “too much”—can add another layer, often increasing secrecy and shame rather than helping you understand what’s actually going on.
At Nour Counseling, we approach this work without judgment or moralizing. We work with you to understand the patterns—what’s driving the behavior, what needs it’s meeting, and what’s making it hard to shift. From there, we actively build strategies to help you regain a sense of choice and alignment, whether that’s reducing use, setting boundaries, or developing alternative ways of coping and connecting. We also address the shame that often surrounds these experiences, along with the cultural and relational context shaping them, so you’re not navigating this in isolation. This is about helping you move toward a relationship with sex, your body, and your behavior that feels more intentional, more connected, and actually aligned with your values.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Shelia King
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, Certified Sex Addiction & Certified Multiple Addictions Therapist
I work with successful, driven men who are tired of the secrecy, shame, and loss of control that come with compulsive sexual behavior. Together, we work to uncover what’s really driving the patterns, replace them with clear, sustainable strategies, and build a life rooted in discipline, honesty, and self-respect.
I provide comprehensive assessments to determine the presence of addiction. When addiction is identified, treatment is guided by a structured 30‑Task Model that addresses the full scope of the addictive process.
