Sex Addiction Groups

Center for Healthy Sex offers several weekly addiction recovery groups for men and nonbinary individuals. These therapy groups utilize the impact of peer experience and peer support to create a strong foundation for sobriety.

  • Participate in recovery techniques which have helped thousands of sex addicts.
  • Stop destructive sexual patterns such as infidelity or excessive use of pornography.
  • Understand addiction and break through obstacles which prevent recovery.
  • Build a support network and realize you’re not alone in your struggles.

We offer compassionate and inclusive approaches to treatment that include LGBTQ+ Affirmative Care.  At Center for Healthy Sex, all are welcome here regardless of race, color, national origin, disability, gender identity, or sexual orientation.    

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