Sexual Addiction Therapists in 85296

Hello I'm Clark Lee owner of S.O.L.E. "survivors of life experience" Counseling. I have a passion for the work I do. I'm a certified sexual addiction therapist and also trained in betrayal trauma healing. We work with individuals and couples in experiencing healing and wholeness through this essential work. We provide clients with an atmosphere of support and safety in their journey toward healing and finding their true self. I have worked at The Meadows, a world-renowned inpatient treatment facility, assisting clients with their sexual addiction and betrayal trauma.

Lying awake with your back toward your spouse, hurting again. Your mind racing, blaming your partner for all the problems in the relationship. The thought comes to mind, “The argument was days ago, why can’t we talk?” You’ve tried things before, but only for a short time. The self doubt creeps in, shame, loneliness, sadness, guilt. What happened to the joyful days of the beginning? Life. Life got in the way and took you both by storm. Now, you feel as though you no longer know your spouse, and he/she doesn’t really know you. Before you finally drift off to sleep one last thought crosses your mind, “I want to make this work.”

“I should have quit this a long time ago.” You think back all those years ago when you thought you’d kick the habit soon. You never imagined you’d still be so absorbed in sex and hiding it from everyone, all these years later. It’s a terrible thing, to be two people: the healthy one that everyone knows and the addicted one you hide inside. The line gets blurry, and you dread the day that all this stuff breaks out and hurts the ones you love. Or maybe that’s already happening? You’re determined to not accept that it’s out of control, but in this moment you are facing the reality of needing help.

I have extensive training in helping adults and families who struggle with behavioral addictions, childhood trauma, and attachment wounds.

It feels like we are roommates. We don't have a lot to say to one another but when we do, our conversations turn into arguments. I look across the room and I don't even recognize the spouse that used to make my heart skip a beat years ago. My desperate attempts for connection come out as either criticism or anger. But the more I do that, the more he/she withdraws from me. I feel helpless and alone but craving the love of my person. "How did we grow apart?" is a thought that often enters my mind. Many life stressors can pull partners away from each other such as time, kids, money, betrayal, and a difference in core life values.

Thanks for stopping by. I'm Josh Adams, a Licensed Professional Counselor and the Program Director at Total Life Counseling. I have been in practice for almost 15 years and absolutely love what I do. My office is an outpatient facility that offers individual counseling for children, adolescents and adults as well as Intensive Outpatient Programs and DBT programs. Feel free to call and talk to our helpful staff. They will answer questions and help you get started with the therapy process. Whether you meet with me, or another therapist in our office, you will get personalized, compassionate care throughout the therapy process.

I received my Master's Degree in Direct Practice Social Work from Arizona State University with an emphasis on children and families. I am currently one of many counselors working at Arizona Family Institute. I have had many valuable experiences in working with individuals addressing crisis, abuse, depression, anxiety, tension, neglect, adjustment, addiction, and especially trauma.

I work with couples, individuals, and families. I see children ages 6 and up, teens, and adults. I’m excited to join your mental health journey! As a dedicated therapist and enthusiastic advocate for mental wellness, I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to be heard and learn the skills needed for a happy and fulfilling life. There's no better way to do that than therapy! It is my goal to help each of my clients as they navigate through the pains of yesterday and worries of tomorrow so that they can live peacefully in the present.

Have you experienced a form of relationship betrayal from a spouse, parents, or someone you should have been able to trust (infidelity, physical/sexual abuse, financial abuse, porn/sex addiction, emotional neglect/abandonment, etc.)? Are you experiencing various forms of trauma symptoms due to a relationship betrayal or past trauma(s)? If you are, please know that you are not alone. Tiffany has a passion for helping individuals heal from these traumatic experiences, past and present, by providing a positive, safe, non-judgmental environment where client and therapist can work collaboratively together to address these intense wounds.

Let’s get real. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Seeking out a therapist who can help you on that path is the first step. How can I help you? Many people see therapy as a very one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. In my approach, you will find that I keep it real! I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing both yourself and your world in new ways. Your therapy does not always need to be painful.

Thank you for taking the time to look over my profile and remain open to the idea of therapy helping to improve your circumstances. If you or a loved one is struggling then I'd like to help. I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, compulsive behavior, sexual issues, depression and grief/loss concerns. However, above all else, my biggest focus in the therapeutic process is on building a genuine, healing and supportive human connection with you. If you allow me the opportunity to walk with you in this chapter of your journey then in return you will have someone who is deeply committed to supporting you in and out of the office.

I strive to empower each client to find and use new awareness to enhance and change their lives. I provide empathy, support, knowledge, and experience to guide my clients through the process of change. As a counselor, I care deeply for my clients and I will bring all of my knowledge and skills to assist you in making the changes you wish to make. I practice with a focus on person-centered therapy and attachment-based theory to explain and understand human behavior. I am trained in EMDR, RTEP/GTEP, and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. I am working towards additional certifications in EMDR, EFT, and sex therapy.

Whether you're grappling with trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, or seeking meaning, I'm here to support you. My holistic approach integrates somatic and cognitive work, nurturing mind-body-spirit connection. Together, we'll cultivate autonomy, exploring your unique needs and goals. Let's embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, fostering resilience and purposeful living. I am an Army combat arms veteran and former law enforcement officer and love to work with veterans, military, and first responders as well as anyone that wants to take ownership of their life!

Do you feel like a prisoner in your home? Do you feel your relationship with your teen becoming toxic? Is the emotional challenges your child facing overwhelming and you have no idea how to help?

With modern technology, easy access to drugs, identity confusion, and more, we face a generation of kids with new and unique challenges that the world has never known. However, you don't have to face this alone. Start getting the support you deserve and need. Call Bright Life Today!

Trying to connect with my partner but no matter how hard I try, I can't. What is this wall between us? I walk into the room the phone screen is swiped and computer screen closed. My mind fights “Is it my imagination? Am I too sensitive?”. Then, the uncomfortable heavy feeling takes over and I feel blind-sighted. Betrayal. Lies. The world seems to spin. The ground falls out from under me.  No longer in control of emotions. Life is a raging storm. I react intensely, instead of responding. Overcome by a short temper, crying, screaming, or feeling completely numb. Chaos has become the norm and I am lost. How do I face this storm?

I have been in the counseling field for 25 years. I have extensive experience assisting clients who are experiencing emotional pain, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles and other personal challenges. My goal is to provide a safe, respectful environment where clients can examine their challenges and rediscover their strengths. I recognize that the first step to seek a therapist takes courage. My therapeutic style is direct but supportive. I recognize that every client's experience is unique. My therapeutic approach is tailored to address their specific concerns, navigate “next steps” and move toward long term solutions.

I am a licensed therapist and specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults who are survivors of sexual abuse as well as those exhibiting sexually acting out behaviors. In addition, I am skilled in addressing interpersonal issues within families and couples, helping foster the creation of secure bonds and re-organized emotional responses. Treating a person's concerns holistically is important to me as I believe in the mind-body connection and that one affects the other.

Step into my therapy space, kick back, and let's keep it real. No need for filters or holding back here – I'm all about authenticity, F-Bombs included. My approach? Direct, yet filled with empathy, creating a safe haven for you to open up and be truly honest. No two people are alike, so forget about those one-size-fits-all approaches. Let's dive deep into what makes yours unique and work through any roadblocks together.

I am a owner and founder of Stories Counseling, PLLC and an approved Clinical Supervisor. As a therapist and former pastor, my personal motto is that EVERY.STORY.MATTERS. I truly believe that we are not defined by our wounds and that there is true healing through refinement, redemption, and reconciliation to the self. No matter where you are in this life journey, it is the hope that you can see that the story isn't over yet and you can write the future chapters that you need your life story to be. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families and hope that I can be a safe place for you.
