Sexual Addiction Therapists in Chelsea, NY
Are you sick of therapy that just feels like venting? You want more than someone simply nodding while you spiral—you want real, actionable change. Many of the thoughts quietly running your life were handed to you by family, religion, or society. Along the way, you picked them up and called them truth. I know what it’s like to confuse distorted thinking for self-awareness—believing "I must be perfect" or "I am broken." As an openly gay therapist, I’ve navigated these narratives personally. Together, we will dismantle the beliefs keeping you stuck, creating a safe space to actively heal from minority stress and shame.

"Alis grave nihil": Nothing is heavy to those with wings. My goal is to help clients learn to fly above their pain, fears, stressors. My job is providing the tools and guidance to recognize the issues. In my practice, these tools might include cognitive or behavioral techniques or other methods/theories, including mindfulness. The approach to wellness might include spiritual or physical health but, in all things, the focus is on the client and it always takes his/her needs and desires as primary. Beyond techniques is always the importance in discovering the underlying causes. There is no one path. For each person it is unique.

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.
