Intensive Outpatient Program
The only one of it's kind in Central Texas, this 6 week (54 hour) Sexual Addiction Intensive Outpatient Program (SA IOP) offers a more rigorous, concentrated start to the recovery process. Understanding the root causes of sexual addiction, emotional regulation, shame reduction, relapse prevention, and the influence of past trauma are all explored during this in depth therapy experience. We have seen this 6 week program "jump start" the healing process, and clients have stated that, "It gave me a 6 month head start in my recovery."

Addict and Partner Sexual Addiction Therapy Groups
FOR THE ADDICT: Group therapy is used to guide clients through the process of gaining insight about themselves, others, and the world around them. The nature of the group helps lessen the pain of shame. As a result, the group is a place where a person learns how to create a sober lifestyle. FOR THE PARTNER: When a partner becomes aware of the addicts' behavior is nothing short of traumatic. Because of the shameful nature of sex addiction, finding support often does not seem a realistic. As a result, many times they experience this crisis in isolation.

Problematic Porn Use for Teenagers
16 states have already declared porn use a major public health crisis. And as you already know, it’s a cancer eating our families alive. The latest research is devastating. It indicates that the average age of first internet porn exposure is between 8 and 11 years old, and 82% of young men are looking at internet porn weekly. Research is now crystal clear, when kids that young are exposed to pornography consistently, frequently, and over a long duration, their brains are physiologically changed, setting themselves up for an addiction that can destroy their lives.
