As a member of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapist, I must point out that in the field of sex therapy is the shift from "Sex Addiction," rather than "Out-of-Control Sexual Behaviors." I subscribe to AASECT's version as it more compassionate view towards the client and more in line with contemporary clinical thinking. I use protocol developed by Douglas Braun-Harvey and Michael Vigorito which involved the creation of a sexual health plan.

I lead groups, workshops and offer consultation on sexual addiction. I have worked with those suffering from sexual addiction for over ten years.

I help people struggling with out-of-control sexual behavior. For some, abstinence or having "bottom-line" behaviors (in line with 12 step groups) works for them. For others, the addiction model is not helpful, and I work with them to explore the feelings and core beliefs that are driving their behaviors, and to develop strategies to be able to have satisfying and non-compulsive sexual relationships with themselves and others.

Problematic sexual behaviors (also known as "sex addiction" in our culture) is identified by Doug Bruan-Harvey, and which is the mindset I come from in my work, to be “a sexual health problem in which an individual’s consensual sexual urges, thoughts, and behaviors feel out of control [to them]” (p. 10), as opposed to as a mental illness (as in the Sex Addiction, SAA or 12-step, model). Helping my clients define, and work toward, their own version of sexual health is my goal.

Sex addiction is a unique and complex issue. My experience working at the Prescott house a household name in the treatment of sex addiction and that the Meadows IOP running their men's intimacy group has made me uniquely qualified to work with sex addicts. As a CSAT-C I have experience utilizing Patrick Carnes 30 task model in addition to other modalities. Sex addicts for the 1st time have a straightforward roadmap for recovery and I found healing.

We have helped many individuals survive the consequences of sex addiction. We know that with hard work and a commitment many find peace from the noise and pain that sex addiction creates. At Novus, our expert therapists believe everyone can overcome sex addiction. We have seen it happen. At Novus, we see sex addiction as the compulsive use of sex to deal with painful feelings and moods. The behavior leaves the person feeling guilty and shameful. It creates more problems in the person’s life. To deal with these problems and the emotional pain the person turns back to sex to find some escape. The sex addiction cycle continues. Even the loss of their marriage, relationship or job does not mean they will stop. They look to sex as the solution. Like the drug addict who knows the drug will end his pain, so does the sex addict. The problems of sex addiction are real and painful. Often, the person using compulsive sex gains little long-term satisfaction from the behavior. They feel lonely, depressed and out of control, which in turn leads them back to the addictive sex to “feel better.”

Sexual addiction can be quite difficult to manage and most times people wait way too long to get the help they need. In treating sexual addiction, I take an attachment based perspective where we will explore unmet meets and help you understand the function of the behavior. Give me a call and we can chat more about what you are struggling with and how I can help.
