Sex and Porn Addiction
Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an IFS perspective, sex and porn addiction often involve parts seeking comfort, excitement, or escape from emotional pain. These parts may act compulsively to protect you from underlying feelings of shame, loneliness, or vulnerability. By accessing your Self with curiosity and compassion, you can help these parts feel safe and begin to make healthier, more conscious choices around intimacy and desire.

Sex and Porn Addiction
Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
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 and Porn Addiction
Joshua Redding
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
There is so much made about sex that it can easily be confused for intimacy or love. It's neither of these things. While it may supply some level of physical pleasure the continual urge to masturbate or find another partner can be difficult. Often folks aren't even sure why they continue to find compulsive sexual acts to be deeply unfulfilling and hurtful to those around them. Therapy can help. Consider booking a free 30-minute consult to explore more.

Sex and Porn Addiction
John Burkin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC, CPL, Registered Member MBACP
I prefer to describe this topic as Sexual Compulsion as there is no chemical or physiological dependence occurring. I believe there is a much higher affliction rate of persons engaged in some form of sexual compulsion than is truly known due to the stigma associated with sexual behavior. My belief and approach for persons who wish to address their sexual activity and what they may believe to be compulsive sexual activity is to create a safe, non-judgmental and non-stigmatic environment. I choose to approach sexual activity by normalizing with clients. This means I do not take a position on your personal beliefs nor wish to override or interfere with them. The boundaries I have are simple; legal and consensual. From there I will help work with you to identify what practices are interfering with your wellbeing and we can find solutions which work for you.

Chesapeake is the largest city in Virginia by land area — a mostly suburban and semi-rural community spread across the southern Hampton Roads region — with a therapy landscape shaped by its proximity to Naval Station Norfolk and the broader military community, as well as the particular stresses of a sprawling suburb where long commutes and limited walkable community can contribute to social isolation. The city's large African American population and its place within Hampton Roads' racially complex social fabric create demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial identity, community resilience, and intergenerational family dynamics. Chesapeake Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside the broader Hampton Roads healthcare ecosystem. Many Chesapeake residents access therapy through the wider Norfolk-Virginia Beach metro, given the city's geographic extent and integration with the regional mental health network.
