Sex and Porn Addiction
Dr. Mitchell Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, JD, PsyD, LMHC
For most, sex is satisfying and builds feelings of intimacy. For some it has become pathological. For the latter the problem needs to be treated like any other addiction.

Sex and Porn Addiction
Shelia King
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
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. For clients seeking a faith‑integrated approach, I also offer a Christian model of therapy that is clinically informed and aligned with the current science of compulsive behavior disorder.

Sex and Porn Addiction
Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Compulsive sexual behavior and pornography use are among the most difficult things for people to talk about openly, and for that reason they often go unaddressed far longer than they should. What frequently begins as a private outlet gradually becomes something harder to control, something that takes up more time and mental energy than intended, and something that starts to affect relationships, self-image, and daily functioning in ways that are difficult to ignore.
For many men, the shame around these patterns runs deeper than the behavior itself. That shame tends to drive more secrecy, more isolation, and more of the same behavior. It is a cycle that willpower alone rarely breaks. Compulsive sexual behavior and pornography use are not moral failures. They are patterns with identifiable psychological roots, often connected to stress, anxiety, loneliness, avoidance, or a need for relief from something that feels unmanageable. Understanding what is driving the behavior is the first step toward actually changing it.
In our work together, we address the cycle honestly and without judgment. That means looking at what is fueling the behavior, what it is providing, and what it is costing. We build concrete strategies for managing urges, develop healthier patterns for coping with stress and emotion, and work on repairing the trust and intimacy that these patterns tend to erode over time.
My approach is direct, confidential, and grounded in over a decade of clinical experience working with men navigating complex behavioral patterns. You do not have to have this figured out before you reach out.
If this is something you have been managing alone and are ready to address, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

Sex and 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.
