Sex addiction

Care for compulsive sexual behavior.

If sex, porn or hookups have started to feel out of your control or out of line with your values, you’re not alone, and you won’t be judged here. We take a sex-positive, LGBTQ+ affirming approach.

What you might notice


  • Repeated attempts to cut back that don’t stick

  • Using sex or porn to escape stress, loneliness or hard feelings

  • Spending more time or money than you intended

  • Strain on your relationships, work or health

  • Shame or secrecy afterward

How we can help


We look at what the behavior is doing for you, such as soothing anxiety, loneliness or past trauma, and build healthier ways to meet those needs.

Care may include therapy approaches like CBT and ACT, support around substance use or chemsex if it’s part of the picture, and medication for co-occurring ADHD, depression or anxiety when appropriate.

Good to know

Having a high sex drive or a queer sex life isn’t a disorder. We focus on what feels out of control for you, never on who you are or who you love.
