Sex/Porn Addiction
Melissa Drinkman, Pathways To Connection
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, DBH, LCSW
Sexual Addiction happens – sometimes we may not even be aware as to how it came to be or why. Freedom from addiction is a process that begins by addressing the how and the why. Once we begin that exploration the path toward freedom is possible. At Pathways To Connection, we have therapists that can help.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Margaret Light
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CST
As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, I take a holistic approach when addressing sex and porn addiction. This means I take the time to fully understand what's driving the behavior so that we can create lasting change, rather than contributing to a cycle of shame, relapse, and secrecy. I want you to know there is no judgement in therapy with me because I understand how difficult it can be to talk about sex and porn addiction. If you're ready to build a life of integrity, honesty, and compassionate accountability, please reach out. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Kari Carter
Life Coach, APSATS certified, ACC, CPC, ADOH
The impact of sex and porn addiction on a partner is profound and often traumatic. Discovery can lead to shock, hypervigilance, intrusive thoughts, body image struggles, and a deep rupture of emotional safety. My work focuses specifically on supporting the betrayed partner - not treating the addiction itself, but addressing the trauma response that follows it.
Using a partner-sensitive, trauma-informed model, I help clients stabilize their nervous system, establish protective boundaries, process betrayal wounds, and regain clarity about their next steps. Partners deserve support that validate the harm experienced rather than minimizing it or pathologizing their response.
Living alongside sex or porn addiction can leave you feeling unseen, unsafe, and questioning your worth. I specialize in supporting partners as they navigate the trauma of addiction-related betrayal, helping them move from chaos and confusion toward strength, clarity, and empowered decision-making.

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.

Madison is home to the University of Wisconsin — one of the top research universities in the country — and serves as Wisconsin's state capital, giving it an unusually high concentration of academics, researchers, and government professionals who collectively represent one of the most therapy-positive demographics in the Midwest. The city's progressive political culture and high rate of higher education strongly correlate with high therapy utilization and acceptance across multiple demographics. UW Health and SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital provide institutional mental health resources, with a well-developed private practice community serving Willy Street, Atwood, and the Near East Side. Madison's growing Latino, Hmong, and East African communities are increasing demand for multilingual and culturally grounded therapists.
