Sexual Addiction Therapists in Austin, TX

I specialize in the treatment individuals and couples dealing with sexual addiction (Problematic Sexual Behavior - PSB) and have for 20 years, treating hundreds of addicts and their partners.

I believe in client feedback for setting goals and evaluating whether therapy is working for them. It's not my goals or "success rate" that is important but what the client experiences.

Of course I'm there to provide help when stuck but I value clients to provide their feedback and be engaged in the therapeutic process.

Wouldn't it be nice to have an eraser for the drawing of life? If it were a map the roads would double back, go in circles for miles, and have multiple dead ends. Most roads would traverse through hills, valleys, caves, and mountain tops. Norman Cousins once said, "Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live". Families and individuals alike can be greatly affected by the transitions of life. Whether it is a deployment, birth, or difficult diagnosis, these are the events that shape us. They make us who we are.
