Sexual Addiction Therapists in New Westminster, BC

Is your life filled with strife due to compulsive sexual behavior's (sex, porn, and/or love addiction)? Or are you the partner of someone who struggles with these compulsive sexual behavior's? If so, Glenda will support you one step at a time. Support will include processing any traumas, managing crises, learning about intimacy disorders, identifying and communicating your feelings, reclaiming your sexuality, and deciding next steps.

I work with clients struggling with pornography and sex addiction. I draw upon my training as a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist and my experience as an addictions counsellor at a premier addictions treatment clinic in Vancouver. Working with you would allow us to target the underlying issues and the root causes of these behaviours to provide a plan for you to move forward and be free. My other areas of expertise include drug and alcohol addiction.

Hi there! Do you find yourself caught in states of uncertainty in your life transitions? Is your "double life" catching up to you? What about your sense of self & the stressors that come with it? I recognize that my clients can experience many hurdles within their relationships & intimate partnerships, including but not limited to; sexual addiction, infidelity, compulsive pornography use, gambling/shopping addiction, relationship & intimacy concerns, non-monogamous lifestyles & difficult life transitions.

Treatment Philosophy - I am committed to providing a safe, non-shaming, non-judgmental, professional and confidential space for those with concerns about the effect that compulsive sexual behaviour is having on their lives, offering support to the individuals acting out, as well as their partners. I believe in facilitating recovery using a step-by-step neurobiological approach, wherein new learning and connections create the fundamental brain shifts required to overcome compulsion, achieving better health and relationships. I honour the uniqueness of all clients' experiences, and the relevance of tradition and orientation in our diverse stories and individual paths to change.

I work with individuals dealing with infidelity, betrayal, abuse, trauma and pornography or sex addiction. If you need to figure out why you are engaging in behaviours that are contrary to your personal ethics and then stop those behaviours once and for all, I'd love to help! Whether it is understanding why you found yourself having an affair, or why you cannot stop looking at pornography once and for all, or any of the issues listed here: doing the deeper work of understanding the 'why' and then pursuing the healing and changes necessary will move you towards the life you want. One of integrity, peace and freedom from guilt...

I specialize in: Sex + Porn Addiction, Substance Addiction, Family + Addiction (with a special interest in Sexual Betrayal Trauma), + Family Systems (with a special interest in Enmeshment and Emotional Incest). My areas of interest are: Grief + Loss, + Relationships.

You might feel trapped in a cycle of emotional exhaustion. Trusting others may seem impossible after past hurts, leaving you yearning for connection yet keeping people at a distance. If codependency has taken over, you might be so focused on others that your own needs have been forgotten, draining your energy and sense of self. And perhaps the fear of aging brings a constant anxiety about what lies ahead. These struggles are real, and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. But imagine waking up each day feeling truly secure in your relationships, confident in your identity, and hopeful about the future.

Since 2004 I've been committed to supporting adults, adolescents, families, and couples engage their growth and realize new possibilities for themselves. I offer an honest and compassionate approach.

Our work together is about clearing burdens of the past and articulating visions of what is possible.
