Sex Addict Counseling
Struggle with Sex Addiction
As many as 9 million Americans struggle with sex addiction. It’s important to know you’re not alone. When you’re grappling with sex addiction, your life feels like it’s spinning out of control. You tell yourself to make better decisions, but you find yourself slipping again and again. Even though you want to change, it’s tough to talk about such a deeply personal struggle. The people who you rely on most for support — spouses, partners, and family members — are also people who you would hurt deeply if they knew your secret.
Sex addict counseling from LifeWorks gives you a safe place to talk. Through confidential counseling for sex addiction, you’ll explore what drives your behavior and discover better ways to take care of your emotional and physical needs.
Through counseling, our patients gain the confidence to move past pornography addiction, infidelity, substance abuse, depression, PTSD, and more. Both addicts and family members who’ve discovered a partner’s sex addiction will benefit from working with us.
What we Offer
Some patients take the initiative to ask for sex addict counseling before anyone finds out. Others seek help after partners or family members unexpectedly discover their addiction. Still others never seek help on their own, leaving their partners to cope with the aftermath. Whether you’re the addict or the family member of an addict, LifeWorks is here to help.
Care for Individuals and Families
Our highly trained, compassionate, and experienced sex therapists provide both one-on-one counseling for sexual addiction and family services to promote healing. Whether you’re picking up the pieces or trying to prevent damage to important relationships, we’ll develop a personalized therapy program just for you.
Support for Painful Trauma
Counseling often delves into painful memories from the past. If you’re struggling with sex addiction as a result of childhood trauma or emotional and physical neglect, our therapists offer a range of treatments, including Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to help you make peace with your past.
Strategies for Behavior Change
Talking about the causes of sex addiction won’t make it magically disappear. You need strategies for coping in critical moments. In addition to exploring the roots of your behavior, counseling provides new tools for making better choices when it counts.
Tips for Healthier and More Satisfying Relationship
Healthy intimacy enriches both your physical and emotional well-being. Sex addict counseling will help you break free of your shame, embarrassment, and insensitive behavior when it comes to sex. You and your partner can enjoy more physical pleasure, true emotional intimacy, and greater satisfaction together.
Before it's Too Late
Sex addiction impacts partners and families long before they discover what’s wrong. Even if your family doesn’t know your secret struggle, they’re already experiencing the consequences of your choices. That’s why seeking help isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a path of strength and determination. It takes courage to tackle tough issues, repair broken relationships, and fight for control of your body and mind. Instead of pressing “repeat” on compulsive sexual behavior one more time, do something different today. Contact LifeWorks to schedule a confidential sex addict counseling consultation.
