This is the last time. I can stop anytime. It's not like I'm the only one who does this. If you, your partner or child has said these words you are not alone. My clients select me because I offer practical tools to stop compulsive behaviors, have hundreds of hours of training in sexual addiction, can treat the underlying issues with scientifically validated techniques and have an approach that is compassionate and relational. I take a holistic approach that integrates addict, partner and couples therapy which is critical to lasting change. Check out my website for more info: alexlerza.com
In Crisis? I offer the Facing the Shadow Intensive. The intensive is designed to get to a recovery plan in days rather than weeks or months. Patrick Carnes 7 Tasks of Recovery frames the six 1.5 hour sessions so that you are not waiting week by week to stabilize an already painful crisis. http://www.alexlerza.com/porn-and-sex-addiction-intensive
As a guide on your healing journey, I will compassionately walk with you and support you in pursuing your goals.
