     Are you dealing with a sexual compulsion or a compulsion to be in a love relationship?  Do you engage in excessive use of pornography, have multiple sexual partners, frequent prostitution, engage in excessive masturbation or sex, or find yourself falling in love with the “idea” of falling in love with someone? 

 

     Are you finding that your sexual thoughts and behaviors are taking over your life in the amount of time you spend in them?  Have you experienced a loss of friends/family or work productivity as a result of sexual behavior?  Have you had legal trouble for sexually-related offenses? Or, have you developed STDs/health problems because of impulsive risky sexual behavior? 

 

If you answered "yes" to any of the questions, then you may need help to find a normal healthy relationship and sex life. Join our group that approaches sex and love addiction with an emphasis on mind-body-spirit health.  This is a professional therapy group led by specialists in the field of psychology and addiction.  We incorporate a variety of techniques that teach you coping skills.  It is highly recommended that you also participate in individual therapy to obtain the optimum level of care and healing.
