Traditional couples counseling often doesn’t work in cases where sexual addiction is present. The betrayed partner lives with the symptoms of complex PTSD and doesn’t know what is real anymore. Their marriage - a place that they counted on to provide a secure attachment proved to be anything but secure. For this reason, sex addiction couples therapy is highly specialized. As a CCBRT therapist, I can provide couples with a roadmap for healing through individual stabilization, couple stabilization, individual healing, couple healing, and couple growth.

Close to 50% of people struggling with one addiction suffer from multiple addictions. Along the journey to sobriety, it’s critical to pinpoint and work to heal all addictions. These co-occurring addictions are not exclusively drug/alcohol based but can also include financial addiction and eating disorders. As a CMAT-certified therapist, I can pinpoint and help treat these multiple addictions.

Certified Sexual Addiction Therapists (CSATs) use a task-centered approach, designed to help addicts find the courage to find freedom and live authentically in the world. CSATs go through intensive training to earn their credential. They sit under intense and thorough supervision from experts in the field and are required to keep up with the ongoing research through ongoing continuing education requirements. From well-researched foundational assessments; to full, carefully managed disclosures; to a renewal of vows or a dignified, freeing end to their relationship, CSATs are trained and have the expertise to work with sex addicts.
