Men’s Pornography and Sex Addiction Group

The Pornography and Sex Addiction Men’s Group at Center for Healthy Sex takes a specific approach to treatment by utilizing the impact of peer experience and peer support to create a strong foundation for sobriety.

We know that anxiety, depression, isolation, and sexual dysfunction are symptoms that may occur as a result of compulsive porn usage and/or destructive sexual patterns.

This process group will offer concrete interventions to help you stop the compulsive sexual behavior to restore your sexual health.

This group is limited to 7 participants due to the intense nature of this therapeutic work.
