Addiction Therapists in Frontenac, MO.

Many providers work with individuals who have addiction issues. My concern is not only with the individual but those who love and support them. Family, friends, and work associates can either make or break someone who suffers from alcohol, drug, and other substances. Other addictions include process addictions like being addicted to shopping, gambling, work, or pornography/sexual addictions. Addiction effects relationships, and I believe unless the therapist works with the entire system, they are doing their clients a huge disservice. If you have been in treatment or seek to support someone who has been in treatment, please take this next step toward relationship counseling.

We currently are living in a world in which the word "addiction" is cast about carelessly. Addiction, simply put "is an ongoing, out-of-control pattern of compulsive...behavior that is causing problem in...life (Sex Addiction 101, Weiss. p.1). As the definition indicates almost anything can become an addiction - food, gambling, substance abuse, alcohol, sex, and work to name just a few. My approach as a therapist is to get to the root desire or wound that drives addictive behavior. Once identified, this is where the real work and real change take place.

Addiction can happen when you continue the behavior in spite of the consequences. I work with clients that have acted out in betrayal and sex addiction, and porn addiction. Sex addiction is a form of infidelity that has occurred with 1 partner or many. Porn addiction details the continuous use of porn with the inability to stop, or prefer that over connecting with their partner. I also work with partners that are trying to manage stability in spite of the betrayal whether it is porn, sex addiction or infidelity.

While I am willing and capable of treating those with substance abuse, I specialize in the treatment of sexual addiction and affair recovery. I enjoy working with men who desire to change their behaviors when it comes to unwanted or even harmful sexual acting out. I have worked with men who have been addicted to pornography, escort services, strip clubs, dating sites used for casual sexual encounters, voyeurism, exhibitionism, S&M, fetishes, serial affairs, and more. I take a trauma model stance when helping these men and their spouses. Wives: This is not your fault. His porn use is not because of you. I also work closely with a female in my practice who specializes in helping spouses/S.O.'s
