Sex Addiction Treatment

What is Sex Addiction? 

Sex addiction is a persistent and escalating pattern of sexual behaviors that sex addicts act out despite increasingly negative consequences to themselves or others. The consequences may be emotional, physical, financial, legal, and spiritual. Sex addicts feel powerless to stop the behavior no matter how dire the consequences.

Are you or your partner a sex addict? 

Here are some distinct signs that will assist you in determining whether or not sex addiction could be a problem in your life. Pay attention to the warning signs that sex has begun to dominate your life.

2. You can’t stop thinking about your sexual desires even if you try to think about other things

Individual Counseling for Sex Addicts

Our sexuality is a vital and healthy part of who we are as people. If something isn’t right, it can affect our relationships, our self-esteem, and our integrity.

Many people turn to sexual therapy when they need help to address issues that relate to human sensuality and sexuality. There can be a profound sense of relief to be heard, listened to in a non-judgmental way, and get the support and guidance needed to work through their unique situation.

From damaged relationships caused by infidelities or addiction to physical and psychological issues affecting intimacy and sexual functions, individual therapy can help. Sex and relationship therapy can explore:

• Sexual addiction
• Sexual trauma
• Trust issues caused by infidelity
• Mismatched libidos
• Lack of intimacy or sexless relationships

Sex and Love Addiction Group Therapy

Group therapy is a highly effective method of sex and love addiction treatment. In group therapy, individuals can share their emotions and experiences in a non-judgmental environment. The interactive process between group members and the therapist encourages personal accountability, integrity, and ongoing support for “sexual sobriety.” Group work consists of a weekly 90-minute session, with a maximum of seven members. There are currently two Sex and Love Addiction groups available.
