Hello, my name is Austin Jones and I'm a licensed therapist (139713) in California. I believe in providing accessible, evidence-based mental health resources that align with people’s goals — from finding motivation, direction, peace, and purpose in life, to building healthy relationships and a successful career. There is no "typical" client for me, and I see therapy as caring about a person and their core concerns rather than treating a condition. Something happens every day that reminds me how fortunate I am to be doing this work.

Are you struggling with managing sexually compulsive and/or addictive behaviors? Despite negative consequences in your life and relationships, do these behaviors persist? Are these sexual compulsions leading to isolation, or feelings of guilt and shame? Or maybe you are the partner of an addict, and you have just discovered your significant other has been engaging in secret sexual exploits throughout your relationship. A discovery of this magnitude is traumatic and extremely devastating. It can leave you feeling alone, isolated, and as if no one could possibly understand. You're not alone, and you're not the only one.

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.
