Sexual Addiction Therapists in Colorado Springs, CO

You've experienced something terrible in your life, and you cannot stop thinking about it. You can't sleep, and barely function throughout the day. Or maybe you function, but you're unhappy, stressed and anxious. Maybe you cover the pain with drugs, sex or alcohol. Trauma affects everyone- and everyone reacts in their own way. You want to be able to look forward to your day, your life and your relationships. If you've been through sexual trauma, infidelity, relational issues or have low self esteem, EMDR can help.

Thank you for clicking on my profile. I provide individual counseling to adults. I treat many areas of mental health, but I specialize in the area sex addiction and help clients find freedom from their compulsive and destructive behavior. I want to help you understand what your behavior is about and the story you might be acting out in your addiction. I want to give you tools on how to stop it and to find new meaningful ways to live in relationship with yourself and those closest to you. Sexual addiction is so very hard, and I want to be in it with you, walking with you in your journey and coming alongside you as you make changes.

My approach to therapy is based on the belief that everyone has an innate capacity for healing and growth. As we adapt to life's challenges, however, we sometimes get stuck in long-term patterns of thinking, feeling, behaving, or relating to others that ultimately limit our growth and leave us feeling sad, lonely, overwhelmed, anxious, angry, or fearful. I work collaboratively with clients to help them identify, understand, and change these patterns that keep them feeling stuck so that they can to move towards a life that is more passionate, creative, and fulfilling.

Hello, and welcome! Taking the first step towards finding a therapist can be overwhelming, and I'm glad you're here.

By working together, I hope that you will learn more about yourself, nurture self-compassion, and engage in meaningful self-reflection that leads to transformative growth.

When you suffer a traumatic event, your entire world changes. This can cause fractured relationships, thoughts of suicide, self-sabotaging behaviors, problems with concentration, and feelings of anger, depression, and emptiness. Do you feel alone, disconnected or unusually angry and/or depressed? Do you question how you will make it through another day? The counseling relationship provides a safe and supportive environment to explore personal relationships, build self-esteem, reduce stress and anxiety, address maladaptive behaviors and heal from traumatic experiences.

Will works with teenagers, adults, couples, and families helping them develop personally and to overcome obstacles in their lives. He has spent the past fifteen years helping families as a counselor, a director of a local Young Life Area, a professor, and a volunteer.

Living with trauma, anxiety, and depression is exhausting and challenging. I look forward to hearing your story and how we can work together to fulfill your goals. Growing up with 4 brothers and 2 sisters led me to develop a strong and outgoing personality that carries into sessions; I am gently candid, helping push you to your potential. Using motivational interviewing, we can create attainable action steps to move towards change.

I wonder if you've ever found yourself waking up in the middle of the night feeling consumed by thoughts of regret, worry, and self denigration. You feel frozen either because there are too many options or the options available to you are hard to visualize due to the fog of self-doubt that remains stagnant due to a history of prior "mistakes." Now imagine that the fog slowly starts to lift. You suddenly start to question the validity of your personal criticisms. They don't go away entirely, but you start to turn the volume down, and as you do so, you now see your mistakes as opportunities for growth and fulfillment.
