This is one of my primary areas of interest and experience since I started my practice. I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. I provide treatment to individuals, couples and groups and also incorporate 12 Step Program principles and attendance at meetings as ways to enhance clients' recovery. Almost all addictive behaviors are related in some way to fear and anxiety. Those issues along with Family or Origin issues are included in treatment.
