Sexual Addiction Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

I am a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist (CSAT), certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist (EFT), and certified EMDR therapist. Using secure encrypted video conferencing I specialize in helping individuals struggling with sexual addiction/compulsion and their partners, especially those for whom in-person therapy is impossible due to their geographical location or lack of skilled therapists where they reside. Following telehealth regulations my focus is on helping individuals in the two states where I am licensed, Utah and Massachusetts.

You can overcome the challenges that led you here! Living and coping with problematic sexual behavior can lead to shame, guilt, a secret life. We can suffer, relationships can suffer, families can suffer, finances can suffer, work/school can suffer, physical health can suffer. Problematic sexual behavior is consequential. This is where I come in. Together, I would like to support you in understanding the dynamics involved in your unique circumstances, both what has led you here and how to manage the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to.

New in recovery? just need a tuneup, or are looking for long-term recovery support? I can help you with the support you need. Trauma, PTSD, and betrayal trauma are huge contributors to addiction, depression, anxiety, and other mental health struggles. With training in EMDR, TFCBT, and as a CSAT and CPTT I'm here to help you navigate, heal, and recover from your past hurts and current triggers. Having a therapist who understands the pain and complexity of betrayal trauma can validate your struggle and help you to heal. I see a variety of clients of all ages with various needs. Let's do a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Feeling stuck in life? Struggling with compulsive behavior? Battling sexual addiction and the shame that accompanies it? Suffering from traumatic betrayal in your relationship? These are heavy issues for most therapists to treat, much less trying to navigate them on your own. You deserve support and guidance from a therapist who is not only familiar with these issues, but also has over 15 years of counseling experience working with teens, adults, couples and partners.

I know finding a good therapist can be challenging. Without a direct referral, you may feel you don't have a clear direction. Since 1987 I have helped others overcome challenges in order to live a happier, more fulfilling life. Here is one client's experience ... "I needed help, hope and healing ... Dr. Steven Chen's congenial manner and professional expertise created an atmosphere that assisted my healing and wholeness."

Have you tried traditional talk therapy and find yourself hitting a plateau? Are you experiencing trauma and PTSD due to a break-up, divorce, grief, sexual addiction, infidelity, love addiction, or sexual abuse and wonder if relief will ever be available to you? Perhaps you're curious if the growing field of psychedelic-assisted therapy could help you find the change you are seeking. If so, you've come to the right place. I specialize in helping people find the breakthroughs they desire through an eclectic approach, including trauma-based therapy, somatic parts work, and psychedelic assisted therapy (currently utilizing ketamine).

Greetings! I’m Ethan, a compassionate mental health therapist specializing in sexual and intimacy needs, trauma recovery, and building healthy relationships. With over 8 years of dedicated experience and specialized training, I’m here to guide you through the complexities of your journey with empathy and understanding.

Let’s face it… IT’S HARD TO BE A MAN. We live in a time when many men are unlikely to ask for help, refusing to acknowledge past wounds that stand in the way of their deepest potential. I have worked extensively with men’s issues and male adolescents suffering the effects of limiting beliefs, life struggles, depression, anxiety, sex addiction and sexual trauma. Helping men of all ages overcome the blocks that keep them disconnected from themselves or their partners; whether it is being stuck in a frustrating cycle of repeating the same mistakes over and over to struggling with infidelity, porn addiction or sexual trauma.

Over the years, I have developed my gift of diagnosis which helps me to understand my patients in an accurate and easy to understand manner for them. Then we grieve together the past and implement interventions and boundaries for a healthy future. Psychotherapy is proven to be more enduring than drug therapy, and my approach towards treating my patients is to avoid medication where possible.

As a Licensed Clinical Therapist I have worked with a wide clientele base; teenagers, adults, and families, many whom are from diverse ethnic backgrounds. My experience has reiterated to me time and again the uniqueness and great worth of each individual as well as the progressive capability innate within us all. As such my approach is to work along side each client, not as a director but in many ways a visitor and fellow journeyman on the path of life where I may be able to offer some clarity and illuminate alternative paths during disruptive times in their lives.

Sex and intimacy are at the core of human experience. When things are going well, sex may feel easy and natural but when challenges arise it may feel strained and may become a source of pain and frustration. As a trained sex therapist I am able to help with a variety of sexual concerns such as: abuse, affairs, communication problems, couples counseling, delayed ejaculation, desire, erectile difficulties, fetishes, gender identity/gender care, gay/lesbian issues, infidelity, libido, no sex/low sex relationships, orgasm difficulties, painful intercourse, pelvic pain, premature ejaculation, religious values conflicts, sex addiction/out of control sexual behavior.

I support the development of each individual's inner guidance and direction. My years of experience working with substance and behavior addictions have created a strong foundation which supports lasting healthy recovery. I accomplish this by utilizing my training in EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy & Gottman's Sound Relationship House. I have found great success with those who have otherwise lost hope. My approach is free of judgment and remains deeply empathetic. I am a genuine clinician who is uniquely proficient in reaching through to the seemingly unreachable.

Our typical clients are those with issues of sexual dysfunction. This includes those with issues of sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, pain, satisfaction, or out-of-control sexual behavior/addiction. Most of my clients are from a conservative religious background, but this is not a must. We see clients that have a range of personal beliefs and values. We meet regularly with individuals and couples. Meeting as a couple is not a must. Individuals dealing with sexual dysfunction or out-of-control sexual behavior/addiction that are not in a committed relationship are also welcomed in treatment. We also have a Spanish speaking therapist.

When it comes to my work as a therapist, I am passionate about providing a space in which my clients feel heard, understood, and appreciated. While I have worked with a variety of clients including children, adolescents, couples, families, and individuals, I feel truly privileged to provide support to each of my clients in a time of need. I believe that everyone has the capability to evoke change in their life, sometimes we just need some help figuring out how to get started.
