Sex/Porn Addiction
Jed Jacobson
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Sexual addiction or compulsive sexual behavior can feel overwhelming and isolating. In therapy, we explore the underlying emotions and unmet needs driving the cycle, helping you build self-trust and reduce the need for these coping strategies. Lasting change becomes possible when you’re truly understood, not judged.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Ryan Shannon
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA, MA, MS
Sexual behavior or pornography use can become concerning when it feels difficult to control, conflicts with your values, interferes with relationships, or becomes a way of escaping loneliness, anxiety, shame, boredom, or emotional pain. You may find yourself repeating the behavior despite wanting to stop, hiding it from others, or cycling between temporary relief and intense guilt.
My approach is nonjudgmental, honest, and practical. I will not shame your sexuality or assume that frequent sexual thoughts or pornography use automatically indicate an addiction. Together, we can distinguish between healthy sexual expression, distress rooted primarily in guilt or cultural expectations, and behavior that has genuinely become compulsive or harmful.
Drawing from Adlerian and psychodynamic therapy, we may explore the emotional needs, early experiences, relationship patterns, and unconscious beliefs underlying the behavior. Sexual behavior can sometimes function as a way to manage rejection, insecurity, stress, trauma, or difficulty with intimacy. Understanding what the pattern provides can help you develop healthier ways to meet those needs.
I also use CBT to help you identify triggers, challenge all-or-nothing thinking, interrupt habitual cycles, and create realistic strategies for change. Mindfulness can help you notice urges without immediately acting on them. When appropriate, behavioral missions may involve changing routines, reducing access to triggers, practicing emotional regulation, increasing accountability, or building real-world intimacy and connection.
If trauma or distressing experiences contribute to the pattern, EMDR may also help reduce their emotional intensity. My goal is not to eliminate your sexuality. It is to help you regain choice, reduce secrecy and shame, strengthen your relationships, and develop sexual behaviors that feel intentional, healthy, and consistent with your values.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Out-of-control sexual behaviors and chronic pornography consumption can severely destabilize an individual's relationships, career, and self-worth. Utilizing evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), parts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma therapy and addiction recovery frameworks, I help clients interrupt compulsive behavioral loops. Our clinical work focuses on identifying underlying neurobiological and emotional triggers, establishing clear behavioral boundaries, and repairing relational trust while developing healthy, integrated approaches to intimacy.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Gary D. Alexander
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, MFT, NCC
Sexual and pornography addictions can develop as patterns of behavior that provide temporary relief from stress, loneliness, or difficult emotions, while also leading to secrecy, shame, or strain in relationships. In some instances, these patterns may also begin to affect a person’s professional life and overall well-being. In therapy we explore both the behavior itself and the emotional and relational dynamics that may be sustaining it, recognizing that these patterns can offer important clues about deeper needs or struggles. As understanding deepens and new ways of coping emerge, many people begin to experience greater self-control, increased openness in relationships, and a renewed sense of balance in their lives.

Everett is a Snohomish County city home to Boeing's enormous widebody aircraft manufacturing complex—the largest building by volume in the world—as well as Naval Station Everett, and its mental health landscape reflects both the occupational stresses of high-skill aerospace manufacturing and the military family dynamics of a naval installation community. The city has experienced significant social challenges including elevated rates of opioid and methamphetamine use, and behavioral health organizations including Compass Health have invested significantly in community mental health resources. Everett is also an increasingly affordable alternative to the central Seattle market, drawing families and workers, but also navigating homelessness and housing insecurity at meaningful levels. Common therapy concerns include aerospace and manufacturing workforce stress, military family dynamics, substance use and recovery, economic anxiety, and the challenges of a working-class industrial city carrying significant social service demand.
