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.

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.

As with any addiction, sexual addiction is about behavior change and recognizing why the addiction started, what it does for you, and ultimately skills and tools to change the behavior.
