Sexual Addiction
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.

Ivan Pityk
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Sexual addiction, like other forms of addiction, try to fulfill an unmet need, make us cope with life and stress at a detriment to our relationships and meaning in life. To help process this I try to incorporate stress and anxiety management skills, self-compassion and self-esteem building, as well as addictions counseling that emphasizes the power of choice.

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.

Iryna Gavrysh
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., CSAT
I work with clients who struggle with compulsive sexual behaviors, pornography addiction and love addiction. I appreciate how these behaviors have often developed as an early coping mechanism to help us deal with complexities of relationships and overwhelm of being in the word. They often begin to impact our mental health and intimate relationships in the long run. I help individuals overcome this, in order to live a more healthy and fulfilling life.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In addressing the challenges of sexual addiction, I offer a compassionate and understanding space for clients to confront and work through their struggles. By blending a variety of holistic strategies and psychotherapeutic tools, such as Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, we embark on a journey towards healing and self-control. This personalized approach helps to uncover the underlying issues fueling the addiction, while also equipping clients with the skills needed to manage impulses and rebuild healthier relationships. Emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and self-compassion, we work together to foster a deeper connection to one’s self, promoting lasting change and empowerment. My role is to guide you through this process, providing support and the necessary tools to navigate the complexities of sexual addiction, aiming for a balanced and fulfilling life.
