Sex/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/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
Asher Lipner
Psychologist, Ph.D., SRT
Many people struggling with pornography or compulsive sexual behavior feel trapped in cycles of secrecy, guilt, shame, and repeated attempts to “just stop.” I help clients understand the emotional, relational, and behavioral patterns driving these struggles while developing healthier coping strategies, greater emotional awareness, and stronger self-leadership. My approach combines psychodynamic therapy, behavioral strategies, trauma-informed work, and principles from 12-step recovery to support meaningful and lasting change.

Sex/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.

Norfolk is home to Naval Station Norfolk — the world's largest naval base — and sits at the center of the Hampton Roads military metro, with a therapy community substantially defined by the needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and military families navigating deployment stress, PTSD, and the challenges of military life. The city's large African American population and history of racial inequity create consistent demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma, community resilience, and intergenerational family dynamics. Sentara Norfolk General Hospital and the Hampton VA Medical Center provide major institutional mental health anchors for the region. Old Dominion University, which absorbed Eastern Virginia Medical School in 2024, maintains clinical training programs that feed practitioners into the broader Norfolk therapy community.
