Sex & Porn Addiction Therapy in California (Individuals & Couples)
Private, judgment‑free treatment online anywhere in California.
Judgement-free expert care that works.
When sexual behaviors feel out of control—or betrayal has shattered trust—you don’t need lectures or labels. You need a clear plan, practical tools, and a therapist who can meet you with both accountability and compassion. Our approach blends evidence‑based therapy (CBT/ACT, attachment and trauma‑informed care, and Gottman Method for couples) with a structured roadmap so you know exactly what to work on between sessions.

You’re In the Right Place..
For Individuals
You’ve tried to cut back or stop—then find yourself back in the cycle (porn, hookups, sexting, massage parlors, affairs, or risky online behavior).
You’re spending more time, taking bigger risks, or hiding more than you want to.
Shame, anxiety, spiritual/moral conflicts, or relationship fallout are building.
For Couples
Discovery or disclosure has created shock, anger, grief, or numbness.
You want a structured path: safety and boundaries first, then honest rebuilding.
You’re unsure what to share, how much, and how to co‑create guardrails that actually work.
You don’t have to continue struggling alone. We can help.
