What sets us up to be the therapy of choice is that we are sex addiction therapists trained by world-renowned Patrick Carnes and Pia Mellody and relationship expert Stan Tatkin. As a result, our sex addiction therapy changes lives. There are so many things that need to be uncovered. Every day, sexual addiction and the sexual behaviors associated with it is becoming more and more accepted in our society.
It's something we all know exists, but no one wants to talk about it or even think about it. Sex addiction has become a medical problem from which no one can escape - not pop stars, not movie stars, and not even athletes. It's been a problem affecting celebrities around the globe for years, and while some refuse to admit it, others have sought help for the addiction with sex addiction specialists.
The goal of treatment is sexual gratification through sexual health. People's biggest misconception about compulsive sexual behaviors is that addictive sexual impulses only affect men, but this is untrue.

Have you ever thought you would feel less afraid and have more control if only you could understand "how" and "why" sex addiction happened to you?
Maybe sex addiction would make sense if you could understand the disease progression or point to traumatic events or stressful times that caused it to get so out of control.
Could good enough answers to "how" and "why" help you cope with the shame of your sexual behavior or could it help make sex addiction rational enough to know whether you should stay in or get out of the relationship?

Paying for sex can signal a sex addiction, but so can sex with your spouse when it's solely and selfishly about you and your orgasm.
Paying for sex alone isn't enough to know.
Sex outside of personal values can signal a sex addiction, but what if your values include hiding porn or having sex with prostitutes?
Being outside your sexual values isn't enough to know.
Keeping secrets can signal a sex addiction, but when the lies are "only" occasional, insensitive, or immature, do they still signal a sex addiction?

Sex addiction is different from other dependencies.
Recovery is not about denying sexuality but instead seeking maturity.
Healthy sexuality means leaving the shame behind and growing in love and intimate connection.
The trouble is that most sex addicts have never really experienced a consistently healthy sexual relationship.
So how will they know the difference and what makes it so great?
1. Healthy sex leads to feelings of well-being while addictive sex leads to feelings of guilt and shame.
2. Healthy sex is sensual with real intimacy in the present moment while addictive sex is intensity seeking and rooted in independent fantasy.
