FAITH-INFORMED CARE
We understand when
faith and struggle intersect.
Many of our clients are people of faith who feel the particular weight of what feels like a moral failure.

who walks through our door deserves compassionate, judgment-free care.

Your questions about
Sexual Addiction Recovery.
Is sexual addiction a real thing, or just an excuse?
Compulsive sexual behavior is clinically recognized and well-documented. It often involves real neurological patterns similar to other process addictions, frequently rooted in trauma, shame, and attachment wounds. That doesn't remove personal responsibility, but it does mean there's a genuine clinical picture to understand and address. It is not an excuse. It is an explanation that opens the door to real change.
My partner just told me about their addiction. Where do I start?
Start with yourself. You've experienced a significant betrayal, and your own healing matters whether or not your relationship survives. Individual therapy for the betrayed partner is often the most important first step. We have therapists who specialize in this, and we'll help you find the right fit quickly.
Will you tell my spouse or pastor what I share in therapy?
No. What you share in therapy is confidential. There are narrow legal exceptions (risk of harm, child abuse, a court order) but your private disclosures stay between you and your therapist. You won't be exposed without your knowledge and consent. We take that seriously.
Can a marriage really survive sexual addiction?
Yes, some marriages do survive and even become significantly stronger. It requires genuine commitment from both partners, real honesty, and consistent work over time. It's not quick, and it's not guaranteed. We'll be honest with you about what we observe in your situation, and we'll support both of you in making the decisions that are right for your lives.
I'm a pastor and I'm scared someone will find out. Is this really confidential?
Yes, fully. We adhere to HIPAA laws and take your privacy with complete seriousness. We understand the particular fear that comes with ministry leadership, the reputational stakes, the community, the role. We are not here to expose you. We're here to help you. Many ministry leaders have found genuine healing in our office. You can too.
