Toronto Psychotherapy Space (TPS Therapy)
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapists (RP) and Registered Social Workers (RSW, MSW)
When sexual behaviours or pornography use begin to feel difficult to control or interfere with relationships, responsibilities, or emotional well-being, it can be difficult to know where to turn. Our therapists provide a confidential and non-judgmental environment to explore these patterns, understand triggers and underlying needs, address shame, strengthen coping strategies, and work toward healthier behaviours and relationships.

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.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
About a third of my caseload at any given time is addictions work, and I see clients who have addictions to sex, alcohol, drugs, gambling, porn use, food, video games/escapism, etc. Understanding how and why people become addicted to any of these behaviours is the first step in understanding how to undo the process that got them there. When working with clients with addictions issues, I take a treatment/tool/protocol oriented approach to helping them manage their addiction permanently.

Chris Pankewich, Registered Psychotherapist – Toronto Therapy for Anxiety, Addiction, Relationships & Men’s Emotional Resilience
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Masters of Counselling Psychology (MACP)
Addiction to sexual behaviours and compulsions can feel overwhelming, particularly when that loss of control leads to decisions that involve risking losing the things we truly care about. There is not an agreed upon clinical definition of sexual addiction, but it tends to feel compulsive, excessive and hard to stop despite being aware of the consequences. It is not necessarily the specific behaviours that define the addiction, but how those behaviours leave us feeling. Many people suffer from sexual addiction and the associated shame and guilt that tends to follow. There are some proven strategies to explore the deeper causes of these behaviours and work towards changing them. Most imporantly, a commitment to working on them leads many to learn that they are not alone on this journey.
