Sex Addiction Therapy in Louisiana
Break Free from Secrets and Shame
Carrying this weight alone can be crushing but freedom is possible.
Do you ever think, “If anyone knew about this, my life would be over”?
You’ve thought it a thousand times: “No one can ever find out about this.”
But maybe someone already has. Maybe your world feels like it’s falling apart over “just a little porn” or a meaningless hookup.
The truth? It’s not about how it started—it’s about where it is today:
Living in secrets
Feeling like you are leading a Double Life
Sneaking around and constant close calls
Feeling like your always have to look over your shoulder
Feeling like you always have to cover your tracks
Stress from morning to night
What used to feel like an escape from life’s pressures has now spiraled into full-blown chaos.
And you feel horrible for what you’ve put your loved ones through. But at the same time, it’s hard to imagine life without it. That’s the trap—but you don’t have to stay stuck in it.
Sex addiction therapy can give you a way out—without judgment
This is where I come in. In my virtual office, you don’t have to be ashamed to talk about it.
I understand how sexual addiction and compulsive sexual behavior work from the inside. And I know how to help you:
Stop living in fear of being found out
Heal relationships damaged by secrets and lies
Build habits that lead to real freedom, not just “holding on tight.”
Create a life where you can finally hold your head up high
Recovery isn’t easy. There can be hard conversations with your partner or yourself and moments of struggle.
But a new life—a better life—is absolutely possible.
I’ve helped many people put these issues behind them and move on to fulfilling lives-lives with no secrets.
By the way,
If you don’t like the words “sex addiction” or feeling like you are wearing a label of “sex addict” we don’t even have to call it that. I don’t force people to wear labels. The words “sexual addiction” or “compulsive sexual behavior” are just phrases that are commonly used. The internet seems to like them. Therapy for these issues is very new to our culture. Arguably there was no treatment or proper name for these issues until 1985. In working with me these words may come up. But, you can call it whatever you like. Many people or couples call it “his issues”, “my issues”, “my porn problems”, “my issues with lust” or “my wandering eyes”. If my use of these words on this website makes you feel uncomfortable please bear with me. It is kind of a formality when working with the internet. Shame is the enemy here.
What you’d like to call your issues will be respected.
Therapy can help you:
Understand why this behavior has such a hold on you
Break the cycle of secrecy and shame
Rebuild trust with your partner and loved ones
Develop strategies for long-term freedom
Feel proud of the man (or woman) you’re becoming
You’re not a “bad person trying to get good.”
You’re a person struggling with a problem—one that has a solution.
It’s possible to find freedom from addiction and problematic sexual behavior. It’s possible to repair your relationships. It’s possible to feel at peace with yourself again.
“If you’re living two lives and neither one feels good, it’s time to build a new one.”
Q: Is sex addiction really a thing?
A: Yes. While the term “sex addiction” is debated, the compulsive behaviors and the damage they cause are very real. Therapy helps address the root causes and gives you tools for recovery.
Q: Will you tell my partner everything?
A: No. Therapy is confidential. We’ll also talk about how to rebuild trust with your partner in a way that’s honest but respectful.
Q: What if I’ve tried to stop before and failed?
A: That’s more common than you think. This time, you won’t be fighting it alone—and we’ll use proven strategies to create lasting change.
Q: I just look at porn too much. Is that sexual addiction?
A: Sexual addiction is a phrase that is commonly used to describe many issues. These include:
Looking at too much porn or looking at porn too often or in the wrong places
Feeling bad or stressed out when you try to stop looking at porn
Going to strip clubs too often or spending way too much money there
Cheating or having multiple affairs and feeling like you can’t stop
Visiting prostitutes too often
Getting out of control with sexual images on social media
Spending too much time or money watching attractive people with sexual or nudity themes on webcams, Tik Tok, or Twitch
Issues with Only Fans
Compulsive dating-having way too many dates or hook-ups to the point you feel horrible about it
Spending too much time texting that person at work-then sometimes switching to a new person and spending too much time texting them at work
“Sneaky links” that happen way too often.
Spending too much time obsessing about that “work husband” or “work wife” to the point you feel really bad about it but can’t seem to stop
Emotional Affairs- romantic emotional level relationships (sometimes only including texting, sexting or picture exchanges) that feel like you are totally in love (but little to no physical contact)-happening behind your partner’s back. If these happen way too often and you feel bad about it but can’t stop… that may be compulsive sexual (or romantic) behavior
Long story short, if there are bad consequences and or a lot of guilt in some sexual or romantic behavior and you feel you can’t stop, then that may be sexual or romance addiction or at least problematic compulsive sexual behavior. This is especially true if it gets worse and worse over time.
Q: This may be one of the most shameful things I’ve ever done. How can you tell me there is no shame in this? How can you tell me there is no shame in talking about it? How can you tell me there is no shaming in your therapy?
A: The way I see it, these issues are often a way to get our needs met that has gotten out of control. Every human being has needs to connect with others, to feel special, and to reproduce. Those needs were not getting met. You tried something that may have worked for a while. Now its a mess. We can work on new ways to get those needs Really Met in healthy and positive ways you can feel good about.
