If your sexual behavior is out of control and destructive. We have helped more than 2,000 sex addicts and their partners. We are the oldest,since 1985,and largest sex addiction treatment center in N. California. Don't let your shame keep you stuck. This is our specialty.

We love our work. To see people, often in crisis, make their pain useful, is fulfilling. However, change is difficult. Because Sex Addiction/spouses is our specialty we can often bypass issues that less informed therapists miss or get stuck in.

We are a host site for the next Diagnostic and Statistical Manuel for Mental Health (DSM 5). We believe in excellent research. Recovery often needs several areas of expertise (i.e. assessment, group/individual/couples therapy, varied treatment approaches). 'One size does not fit all' if you want better results.
