Sex/Porn Addiction
Daniel Gowan
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT
As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), I’ve seen firsthand how shame and secrecy can hold people captive. Recovery is possible. Through structured support, honest conversation, and grace-filled accountability, I help individuals find freedom and reconnect with purpose and intimacy.

Sex/Porn Addiction
David J Schlosz
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S
Compulsive sexual behavior and pornography use are often connected to deeper experiences of loneliness, shame, emotional pain, trauma, stress, or unmet attachment needs. Rather than approaching these struggles through judgment or shame, therapy focuses on understanding the emotional and relational patterns underneath the behavior while helping clients build healthier coping strategies, connection, accountability, and self-awareness.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
Many people use the term “sex or porn addiction” to describe feeling out of control with sexual behavior, but I do not see your sexuality as a disease to be cured or a moral failure to fix. Instead, we look at patterns of compulsive or out‑of‑control sexual behavior in the context of trauma, shame, nervous‑system coping, and the meanings sex has held in your life. Together, we work to reduce secrecy and shame, understand what your sexual behavior has been trying to manage or soothe, and build safer, more values‑aligned ways to experience pleasure, connection, and integrity in your sexual life and relationships.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with sex addiction or problematic porn use and the impact these behaviors have on trust, intimacy, and self respect. Out of control sexual behavior can feel confusing, isolating, and deeply shame inducing, especially when it conflicts with your values or causes harm to relationships you care about.
As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, I help clients understand how these patterns develop and what maintains them. Our work focuses on identifying triggers, emotional needs, and coping strategies, while also building healthier ways to manage stress, desire, and connection. Recovery is not about punishment or rigid control. It is about increasing awareness, accountability, and choice.
When sexual behavior has affected a relationship, I also work with partners to address betrayal, rebuild trust, and establish clearer boundaries. Whether you are seeking help individually or as a couple, therapy offers a structured and supportive space to reduce shame, interrupt destructive cycles, and move toward healthier sexuality and more honest connection.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
If your sexual behavior feels out of control, secretive, or like it's hurting your relationship, you may be wondering if you're dealing with a sex addiction—or something else entirely. You don’t need to have all the answers to begin getting help. Whether you identify with the label “sex addiction” or not, I work with people who feel stuck in patterns that no longer feel healthy or aligned with who they want to be.
As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and Certified Sex Therapist, I help individuals and couples navigate compulsive sexual behavior, including pornography use, affairs, cybersex, or other forms of acting out. Often, these behaviors are driven by deeper emotional pain—shame, trauma, disconnection—not a lack of willpower.
In therapy, we’ll explore what’s fueling the behavior, create a plan for meaningful change, and work to re-establish trust, romance, and emotional connection—whether in your current relationship or within yourself. If your partner has been hurt, we’ll address the rebuilding process with care and accountability.
This is a space where you can speak openly without judgment. You don’t have to live in secrecy, and you don’t have to do this alone. Whether you’re sure you’re dealing with an addiction or just starting to ask the question, I’m here to support you.
