Porn Addiction Counseling in New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island; What to Expect
Porn addiction is a complex issue that can affect anyone — including high-achieving and high-profile professionals who often carry hidden struggles beneath their successful exterior. Being high-profile or traditionally “successful” can add layers of challenge to porn addiction. It creates a secret, private struggle filled with shame, secrecy, and difficulty finding care that truly respects the need for privacy.
If you live in New York, Connecticut, or Rhode Island and are seeking specialized counseling for porn addiction, it’s important to know what to expect from therapy.
Understanding Porn Addiction and Its Impact
Porn addiction, also known as compulsive sexual behavior, goes beyond occasional use. It can interfere with daily life, relationships, and self-esteem. For many high achievers, it’s tied to deeper issues such as trauma, shame, or stress; making it harder to address without professional help. If you’re thinking “I had the perfect childhood, no trauma here,” I encouarge you to consider a broader definition of trauma- one based on “impactful events”. For example, was your introduction to porn impactful? Do you remember your first witness to porn? How old do you think you were?
What Does Porn Addiction Counseling Look Like?
Effective counseling for porn addiction is trauma-informed, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. As a certified EMDR therapist with extensive experience working with high-achieving adults, I focus on healing the underlying wounds that fuel addictive behaviors. I understand behavioral addictions come from unresolved psychological conflicts triggered by impactful events and maintained by maladaptive copping skills.
In therapy, we’ll explore:
Your personal history and what triggers your behaviors
How addiction affects your relationships and self-image
Strategies to develop healthier coping mechanisms
Building emotional intimacy and reducing shame
