Sexual Addiction Therapists in Golden, CO
Lost in familiar territory is how many couples and individuals describe themselves when they find their way to me. The landscape of their relationship or personal life feels crowded with a repetitive pattern of old reactions, misunderstandings, or emotions that show up faster than they can make sense of. They are not looking for quick fixes. They want a clearer map, steadier footing, and someone who can help them understand the terrain. They want things to feel different, to finally break the cycle that keeps pulling them back into the same pain. And they are ready for real help getting there.

You’re someone who shows up for everyone else; your partner, your kids, your family, but still find yourself feeling disconnected in your relationships with others and yourself. Maybe you are overwhelmed by the mental load, exhausted, unseen, or stuck in patterns that leave you questioning yourself and how things got here and unsure how to move foward. Part of you may wonder if there is any hope for change. But another part is ready for something different, ready to feel more connected and understood, to feel grounded, supported, and confident in your life and relationships. I want to help you get there.

What if you are not a problem that needs to be solved? My approach to therapy is to accompany my clients in exploring the deeper mystery of their true self and in tapping into their innate healing power. I guide clients exploring personal and spiritual inquiry, psychospiritual integration (e.g. values alignment, embodiment, meditation practices, near death experiences, post-psychedelic experiences), sexual and gender identity (LBGTQ2IA+ affirming), and post-traumatic growth. I also welcome clients processing religious trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, life and career transitions, isolation, and recovery from narcissistic abuse.

We carry moments that shape us — some that serve us well, others that quietly hold us back. Many of the people I work with have learned to masquerade as being "fine" — while internally feeling messy, insecure, ashamed, uncertain, or lost. We often sense that something is off, but struggle to capture what's driving it. That is usually where we begin — exploring the strategies you have developed to navigate life, understanding how they have protected you, and finding where they may be keeping you stuck. We work toward a life with more ease and more choice — where your decisions come from you, not your wounds.

Sexual Addiction Therapists
When should someone seek treatment for sex addiction?
People should seek treatment for sex addiction if they cannot control their sexual thoughts or behaviours to the point that it disrupts their ability to function in daily life, for example by threatening their finances, career, or relationships. This may include spending an excessive amount of time obsessing over sex, planning sex, watching pornography, or masturbating, as well as consistently engaging in risky sexual activities, using sex to escape distressing feelings, or attempting yet failing to control sexual behavior.
What are the most common treatment options for sex addiction?
Psychotherapy is the most common treatment for sex addiction; therapy helps patients better understand their compulsive thoughts and behaviors and develop strategies to manage their desires. Therapy may be supplemented by medications, such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anti-androgens, and the alcohol and substance use medication Naltrexone, as well as support groups, such as 12-step programs.
How long does therapy take for sex addiction?
Recovering from compulsive behavior takes time and effort. There’s no precise timeline for treatment, but research suggests 12 therapy sessions may be enough to see change. Treatment for sexual compulsions requires honesty in therapy, a commitment to understanding triggers and developing coping skills, and potential lifestyle changes such as cutting out alcohol or drugs.
What if sex addiction is left untreated?
Compulsive sexual behavior can have serious repercussions if left unaddressed. For example, if sexual obsessions consume the vast majority of a person’s time, they may lose their job. If they can’t stop paying for sex, their finances may suffer. If they’re dishonest in their relationships, their partner may leave them. If they consistently feel shame, they may struggle with anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Therapy can help people develop the tools to manage sexual thoughts and behaviors that feel uncontrollable.
