Sexual Addiction
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.

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.
