My specialty is intimacy disorders including sex/love addiction/avoidance as well as codependence caused by developmental trauma. Bad relationships can ruin your life & your happiness; however, relationships can be turned around. When addiction is present, the chances of real intimacy are small. Love addiction is a powerful & debilitating disorder that is very serious & potentially life threatening. Developmental trauma is a set up for self esteem & intimacy issues. If left untreated developmental trauma can lead to mental & physical illness (Pia Mellody, ACE study). You're not alone!
We treat intimacy disorders with professionally facilitated Intensives. Our Intensives are facilitated by CSAT & Pia Mellody/Meadows trained therapists. We provide individual therapy and intensives for partner betrayal trauma, sex addiction, love addiction, developmental trauma & codependence.
I am a recovering alcoholic and love addict, sober for 36 years. Thus, I'm very familiar with the pain of addiction, betrayal & childhood trauma. Growing up in a family with alcoholic parents was chaotic & painful. This trauma does not resolve without intervention & lies dormant in the unconscious. You've lived with pain/suffering far too long. Call today.
