The purpose of this online group is to provide a weekly space to be known and connect to other men who are on the path toward growth and healing from Sexual Addiction. Every week we focus our attention on reviewing basic tools and habits (often from recovery workbooks, etc) that help us maintain sobriety and pursue a life of integrity. We then integrate this understanding and insight into living a healthy recovery plan during the rest of the week. (This online Zoom group is open only to those also in Individual Counseling with Jaben.)

As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) I work primarily with men who have cheated, committed infidelity, compulsively use porn/sex and want to heal their relationships and live free. If any of that sounds like you or your partner's situation there is a clear path forward to heal from both the cheating and the betrayal trauma it causes. I would be honored to help you and your partner find your footing and learn to walk that path of recovery. Also am a big believer in groups as a pathway toward growth and healing therefore run a low cost group for all my Sex Addicted clients who are available on Wednesdays at 12pm via Zoom.
*Court Ordered or Self-Referred* Meets weekly for 90 minutes via Zoom and runs approximately 6 months to 12 months depending on client treatment plan and response. The group is designed to be a supportive environment where participants will learn about their own beliefs and behaviors that have contributed to relationship challenges. Accountability occurs when clients understand their behavior, by discovering and internalizing techniques to avoid abuse and by exercising those techniques when it is appropriate. (Assessment: $450/Criminal and $825/Family Court; $50/Weekly Group Sessions)

Everyone faces challenges in their lives that may cause stress, concerns, or behaviors that lead to a desire for change. In these times of transition it can be helpful to have a guide who is not a family member or friend; someone who can help by offering new ideas & help to create concrete goals to move toward positive change. My intent is to facilitate that process. I believe in addressing the “whole person”: mentally, physically, emotionally & spiritually, in ways that fit you & your needs because it's You, by Us.

This group is intended for men and masculine-identified people who want to find connection in ways society has taught us to avoid. We will explore themes of emotional connection with people in our lives and spend time holding a caring space for men on their personal and emotional journeys. Experience interpersonal relationships more profoundly and meaningfully through introspection within a group, which is a powerful experience. This group will run online for 60 minutes once monthly and is free to attend. Please get in touch with me for more information and to get access to the group.

Do you experience flashbacks? Negative thoughts about the past? Nightmares? Trouble sleeping? These are all effects of past trauma experiences that can haunt our everyday lives. I work with people who experience these things in their lives due to past physical, sexual, emotional, generational, and religious trauma. I am a member of the LGBTQ community and also identify as Christian, which can be challenging at times. I have come to understand the needs of folks living with trauma and what works best for them in their recovery.

Men's Issues Support Groups
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
