Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Matters of intimacy can be physical in nature that, in some ways, connect with our emotional lives and can become more complicated as we grow into our relationships with others.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Sexual addiction can feel overwhelming and isolating, often rooted in emotional pain or unresolved trauma. Whether you're actively struggling or in recovery, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore the patterns behind compulsive behaviors. Together, we’ll work on building healthier coping strategies, restoring control, and addressing the emotional and relational impacts. Using evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and relapse prevention, my goal is to support lasting healing and personal growth. Recovery is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Dr. Mike Strand
Psychologist, PsyD
Sex addiction can create a complex web of secrecy, shame, and guilt, disrupting personal relationships and self-image. In my practice, I approach these sensitive issues with understanding and confidentiality, acknowledging the strength it takes to seek help. Through tailored therapy, I provide guidance towards understanding triggers, developing healthier coping mechanisms, and rebuilding a sense of control and self-respect.

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. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have found that people who are addicted to sex need to understand the function the addiction is playing in their life. With this knowledge, the individual can better address their problems and desires. I also teach people skills for unconditionally accepting themselves as shame and self-downing will not help them overcome their issues in this sphere of life. Finally, I teach people how to cope with sexual urges that will get them into trouble and how to live meaningful lives.
