Some people have difficulty controlling their sexual behavior, to the point where normally healthy, enjoy- able, and pleasurable behaviors become recurrent, intense, and out of control, causing personal distress and/or interference with relationships or work. Com- pulsive sexual behavior (CSB), also known as “sex addiction,” affects people of all gender identities and sexual orientations.
Our approach
Treatment for CSB includes:
- Evaluation of client’s specific concerns and needs, including the impact of the CSB on the client’s intimate or family relationships
- Screening and treatment for depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns
- Coordination with medical providers to treat problems with a physical component
- Weekly group therapy
- Developing a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan
- Individual, couple, family and group therapy as needed
- Developing a positive and healthy sexual functioning and relationships
- Developing a maintenance plan approach following treatment
- Support for partners of people in treatment for CSB
