Recovery from sexual addiction: 

Sexual addiction is a complex addiction but there is hope!

"As a trained Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (http://www.iitap.com/) (CSAT®), I have completed training developed by Dr. Patrick Carnes (http://www.sexhelp.com/), which required attendance at multiple training modules and supervision with a CSAT Supervisor. It also requires ongoing education so that ASATs*/CSATs such as myself are experts in providing sexual addiction therapy. It is a rigorous process designed to help me best help you."  (* Trained Associate Sex Addiction Therapist)

To learn more about treatment for sex addiction (http://www.sexhelp.com/), including an initial (free) sexual addiction screening assessment (http://www.recoveryzone.com/), please visit www.sexhelp.com (http://www.sexhelp.com/). If you are a partner, please take the Partner Sexuality Survey (http://www.recoveryzone.com/).

Mary Ann facilitates sexual recovery groups for both the addict and their partner. The goal of the group is to help people who are struggling with compulsive sexual issues, love addiction, compulsive/serial relationships, sexual anorexia, and related issues. The focus of the groups are about:

  • The trauma of discovery
