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.

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.

Reflection Centre
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MSW, RSW, RSSW
At Reflection Centre, we understand that sexual addiction can be a challenging and often isolating experience. Our therapists are trained to help individuals struggling with sexual addiction to explore the underlying factors contributing to their behaviour and develop healthier coping mechanisms. We use evidence-based approaches to treatment, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), to help individuals develop new ways of thinking and behaving around sexual activity. Our therapists also provide a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their feelings and experiences, helping them move towards a healthier relationship with their sexuality.
