Addiction to sexual behaviours and compulsions can feel overwhelming, particularly when that loss of control leads to decisions that involve risking losing the things we truly care about. There is not an agreed upon clinical definition of sexual addiction, but it tends to feel compulsive, excessive and hard to stop despite being aware of the consequences. It is not necessarily the specific behaviours that define the addiction, but how those behaviours leave us feeling. Many people suffer from sexual addiction and the associated shame and guilt that tends to follow. There are some proven strategies to explore the deeper causes of these behaviours and work towards changing them. Most imporantly, a commitment to working on them leads many to learn that they are not alone on this journey.

Peter Stathakos
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, BBA, MDiv, MSW, CMAT, CSAT
You thought that you had this under control but you find yourself beginning to act out of character - watching porn at work, reaching out to others in ways you know would hurt your loved ones, you developed a ritual or start pre-planning your next sexual opportunity. This is a life that is spinning out of control. Consider all the devastation once you get caught! All the lies will be discovered. Even when you are telling the truth you will be doubted.
Sex addiction is typically treated over 3 to 5 years, with 98 individual sessions and about 400 12-step meetings. With my expertise and certifications, I typically average 2 years depending on your situation. Aside from my Certified Sex Addiction Therapist title, I have many years of experience rehabilitating pedophiles, currently with zero parole violations.

Sexual addiction can feel isolating and overwhelming, but therapy provides a safe and confidential space to address it. As a therapist, I help individuals understand the underlying causes of sexual addiction, which often include emotional distress, trauma, or unmet needs. Together, we explore healthy coping mechanisms, establish effective boundaries, and work towards building meaningful and respectful relationships. If you're seeking to regain control over your behaviors and thoughts, and strive for a balanced life, reaching out for support in managing sexual addiction is a courageous first step towards recovery.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
About a third of my caseload at any given time is addictions work, and I see clients who have addictions to sex, alcohol, drugs, gambling, porn use, food, video games/escapism, etc. Understanding how and why people become addicted to any of these behaviours is the first step in understanding how to undo the process that got them there. When working with clients with addictions issues, I take a treatment/tool/protocol oriented approach to helping them manage their addiction permanently.

Iryna Gavrysh
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., CSAT
I work with clients who struggle with compulsive sexual behaviors, pornography addiction and love addiction. I appreciate how these behaviors have often developed as an early coping mechanism to help us deal with complexities of relationships and overwhelm of being in the word. They often begin to impact our mental health and intimate relationships in the long run. I help individuals overcome this, in order to live a more healthy and fulfilling life.

Sexual addiction is a complex and challenging issue that can significantly impact an individual's life and relationships. At our practice, we offer specialized support and treatment for sexual addiction, recognizing the different types and manifestations it can take.

We provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore your patterns of behavior, triggers, and underlying emotions.
Our approach to sexual addiction treatment may incorporate a combination of individual therapy, group therapy, and support groups. We work collaboratively to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs, goals, and challenges.
