We are unique individuals, yet we also share so many things. We all have images about what our life should be like: our personality, our job, our relationships... and it can be stressful and anxiety inducing when life is not living up to what we imagined. Worse, sometimes it feels like we have a war going on inside of us and we are not sure we are winning. This is when a therapist can be very helpful. A therapist can help you to see things from a different perspective, make new connections, and explore new ways to approach your life.

A teacher once said to me as I was beginning my journey in school, "The relationship with the client must come first. The relationship creates the space in which the client will grow. All the tools and skills you will learn in school are secondary. Maintenance of the therapeutic relationship is the number one priority". This statement has become my guiding light as a clinician. When I work with a client, it is imperative that they feel heard, validated, and understood, before the work can begin. Finding the right therapist may take a few tries but keep going! Because finding the right one can make all the difference.

Sexual Addiction Therapists
When should someone seek treatment for sex addiction?
People should seek treatment for sex addiction if they cannot control their sexual thoughts or behaviours to the point that it disrupts their ability to function in daily life, for example by threatening their finances, career, or relationships. This may include spending an excessive amount of time obsessing over sex, planning sex, watching pornography, or masturbating, as well as consistently engaging in risky sexual activities, using sex to escape distressing feelings, or attempting yet failing to control sexual behavior.
What are the most common treatment options for sex addiction?
Psychotherapy is the most common treatment for sex addiction; therapy helps patients better understand their compulsive thoughts and behaviors and develop strategies to manage their desires. Therapy may be supplemented by medications, such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anti-androgens, and the alcohol and substance use medication Naltrexone, as well as support groups, such as 12-step programs.
How long does therapy take for sex addiction?
Recovering from compulsive behavior takes time and effort. There’s no precise timeline for treatment, but research suggests 12 therapy sessions may be enough to see change. Treatment for sexual compulsions requires honesty in therapy, a commitment to understanding triggers and developing coping skills, and potential lifestyle changes such as cutting out alcohol or drugs.
What if sex addiction is left untreated?
Compulsive sexual behavior can have serious repercussions if left unaddressed. For example, if sexual obsessions consume the vast majority of a person’s time, they may lose their job. If they can’t stop paying for sex, their finances may suffer. If they’re dishonest in their relationships, their partner may leave them. If they consistently feel shame, they may struggle with anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Therapy can help people develop the tools to manage sexual thoughts and behaviors that feel uncontrollable.
