Sex Addiction Therapy in Lafayette, LA
Struggling with out-of-control sexual behaviors can feel overwhelming. You may have tried to stop, told yourself it wouldn’t happen again, or promised your partner that things would change. But no matter how much you want to break free, the cycle continues.
You are not alone, and this isn’t just about willpower. Compulsive sexual behaviors often stem from deeper emotional struggles like stress, loneliness, trauma, or unmet needs. Real recovery isn’t just about stopping the behavior. It’s about understanding what’s driving it, healing from the shame, and building a life that aligns with your values.
I offer virtual therapy for individuals and couples in Lafayette who want to regain control, repair relationships, and find lasting freedom.
Is This the Right Time for Therapy?
If you feel stuck in patterns that are causing pain, secrecy, or stress, therapy can help. You may relate to some of these experiences:
You have tried to stop but find yourself repeating the same behaviors.
You hide your pornography use, lie about your actions, or fear the consequences if someone finds out.
You feel disconnected from real intimacy and use sexual behaviors as a way to escape stress or numb difficult emotions.
Your partner has lost trust in you, and you don’t know how to repair the damage.
You feel ashamed of your choices and want to break free but don’t know where to start.
Sexual addiction is not just about self-control. It is a response to deeper struggles, and true healing happens when you address both the behavior and the emotions behind it.
What Happens in Therapy?
Healing starts with understanding. In therapy, we work together to identify what’s fueling the cycle and create a plan for real, lasting change.
• Recognizing triggers and learning how to break the cycle of compulsive behavior.
• Working through shame, guilt, and the negative beliefs that keep you stuck.
• Rebuilding trust and emotional connection if your actions have impacted your relationship.
• Developing healthier coping strategies to deal with stress, loneliness, or past wounds.
The goal is not just stopping the behavior but creating a life that feels more aligned with who you want to be.
Breaking free from compulsive sexual behaviors starts with small, intentional steps. The cycle of addiction can feel overwhelming, especially when shame and secrecy make it harder to reach out. In those moments, focus on what is right in front of you. Acknowledge the desire for change, remind yourself that healing is possible, and take the first step toward regaining control. You do not have to do this alone. Support, understanding, and real solutions are within reach.
