Sexual Addiction therapists in Florin, California CA
Adrian Scharfetter
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, CST
While I do not follow an "addiction" model when it comes to sexuality, I can help individuals explore what we call 'out-of-control sexual behavior' which decreases shame/stigma around one's struggles. I can help wih sexual function, porn "addiction", extremely high libido, or anything that may feel like you may need support around, without feeling othered or guilt.

Luis Maimoni
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sex addiction is something that is frequently discussed in the media, but there is no "official diagnosis" for it in the DSM-5, our diagnostic manual. Some say this is because there is insufficient research on the topic.
The clients I've met with who have believed themselves to be "sex addicts" were actually using sex to cope with another issue. Once the other issue was identified and treated, the need to engage in the unhelpful sexual coping activity was greatly reduced. I can't promise you the same result, but I can promise to treat you respect as we work together to understand what is driving the behavior you are seeking to reduce.

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.
