Carl Malmsten
Therapist, MA, RCC, Rhyp
Sexual behaviors that feel compulsive or out of control are often linked to deeper emotional needs, pain, or isolation. I offer a non-shaming, structured space to explore the roots, restore integrity, and rebuild connection — with yourself and others.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
Sexual addiction thrives in secrecy and shame—the excessive masturbation, pornography use, soliciting sex, or compulsive behaviors that leave you feeling out of control, anxious, guilty, and deeply alone. You're not morally weak or perverted; beneath the addiction lies unresolved trauma that you never learned to process or express. Together, we'll create a shame-free space to explore what's really driving the compulsions: the pain you're medicating, the intimacy you're avoiding, the wounds that sex became a bandage for. You'll learn healthier ways to manage urges, understand your triggers, and heal the trauma underneath. Freedom from the cycle is possible through compassion, not condemnation.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are struggling with sex or pornography addiction, you may feel caught in a cycle that brings temporary relief but leaves you with guilt, secrecy, or shame. You may have tried to stop on your own, only to find the urges returning under stress, loneliness, or emotional overwhelm. Over time, these patterns can affect your relationships, integrity, and self-control.
At Selah Counselling, we approach sexual addiction with clarity, structure, and compassion. We understand that these behaviours are often linked to unmet emotional needs, trauma, attachment wounds, or nervous system dysregulation rather than simply desire. Together, we identify triggers, strengthen accountability, build distress tolerance skills, and address the underlying drivers of the behaviour. When relationships have been affected, we also support repair and rebuilding trust where appropriate. Our goal is not shame-based change, but sustainable freedom that restores integrity, connection, and steadiness over time.
