Sex within a healthy relationship is a beautiful, sacred thing.
But when sex addiction becomes a compulsive way of escaping painful emotions—be it depression, trauma, or childhood abuse—the damage it causes only makes the pain so much worse. We offer a safe and judgment-free space for you to get to the root cause of sex addiction, so that you can be free from the cycle of shame and self-destruction you’re currently trapped in.

our process
Our Certified Sex Addiction Therapists (CSATs) are trained by the leading expert in sex addiction treatment, Dr. Patrick Carnes. We’ll use his highly effective sex addiction program to support you on this journey:
1. Answering the Call
The journey towards sex addiction recovery often starts at rock bottom. We’ll sit with you in this moment of truth, and help you break through any denial that’s been holding you back from answering your call.
2. Facing the Demons
Our sex addiction therapists will then help you tend to the pain beneath your sex addiction, as well as the pain and loss you may have experienced because of it. We’ll show you that you are far from powerless.
3. Returning Home
In the final phase of our journey, we’ll support you reclaim your true self, rebuild your life, and repair your relationships. Your sex addiction recovery will not be based on self-denial but on self-love.
our approach
We use trauma-informed techniques alongside our sex addiction program to ensure that the root cause of your addiction is resolved.
EMDR
This extensively researched technique uses eye movement to physically activate the part of your brain that processes trauma, in order to release the emotional grip is has on you. In just a few sessions, what feels deeply distressing now will seem like a faded memory, and you’ll finally be able to rise above what happened.
Internal Family Systems
Trauma can cause us to disown parts of ourselves in order to cope, but we cannot truly move forwards if those parts of us are left behind. IFS is a form of psychotherapy that helps us reclaim and befriend the parts of us that are scared, ashamed and angry, so that we can live as our beautifully whole selves.
Trauma-Focused CBT
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps us get unstuck from the destructive thought patterns and behaviors relating to trauma. It gives us the awareness and tools we need to disrupt these vicious emotional cycles, so that we can regain sovereignty of our inner worlds, and make more empowered choices.
