Sexual Addiction
Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we address sexual addiction with compassion and insight, understanding that it often stems from deeper fears and unmet emotional needs. Our approach centers on helping individuals explore the unrecognized fears that drive addictive behaviors—such as fear of abandonment, inadequacy, or loss of control—and recognize the “chief defenses” that perpetuate these cycles, like escapism, secrecy, or self-sabotage. Through the Deconstructing Anxiety™ method, we guide clients to do the opposite of these defenses, fostering self-awareness and empowering them to replace harmful patterns with healthier, more fulfilling ways of connecting. This process promotes healing by addressing the root of the addiction, supporting clients in rebuilding trust with themselves and their partners, and creating a path toward healthier intimacy, emotional stability, and lasting recovery.

Sexual Addiction
Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In addressing the challenges of sexual addiction, I offer a compassionate and understanding space for clients to confront and work through their struggles. By blending a variety of holistic strategies and psychotherapeutic tools, such as Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, we embark on a journey towards healing and self-control. This personalized approach helps to uncover the underlying issues fueling the addiction, while also equipping clients with the skills needed to manage impulses and rebuild healthier relationships. Emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and self-compassion, we work together to foster a deeper connection to one’s self, promoting lasting change and empowerment. My role is to guide you through this process, providing support and the necessary tools to navigate the complexities of sexual addiction, aiming for a balanced and fulfilling life.

G. Safina
Therapist, Individual And Couples Therapy, MA, MS
Sexual addiction therapy explores the underlying psychological factors contributing to sexual addiction and focuses on accepting and managing sexual urges, rather than trying to suppress or deny them. Depending on your goals we can also learn alternative ways to manage stress, unpleasant emotions and work on a healthier understanding and expression of sexuality.
