Compulsive Sexual Behavior/Sex Addiction

The Rochester Center for Sexual Wellness will work with you in a respectful way, with methods based on the best available scientific evidence. There are many causes and treatments to help manage these problems.  We are here to help. No need to attend expensive intensive programs. We have expert information and knowledge to help you with these issues.

Treatment needs to address your personal and family values and how you were raised as well as what is sexually exciting to you, your sexual orientation, and your gender identity. The Rochester Center for Sexual Wellness has a physician and certified sex therapists to meet your needs. If you identify yourself as a sex addict, we can help!

Study after study indicates that physicians and mental health specialists do not have enough training to help their clients with sexual problems, and many health providers do not even ask about sexual functioning. Take control of your sexual health needs and contact us today.

How do we treat out of control sexual behavior or sex addiction?

At the Rochester Center for Sexual Wellness you will receive comprehensive care for your sexual health needs and concerns about sex and porn addiction. Our program does not stigmatize or shame you. We offer a variety of treatment options to facilitate your recovery:

Counseling:

• EMDR – to help process past trauma and negative messages about yourself.

• Psychotherapy – to unlearn the addiction, develop coping strategies, increase your capacity to tolerate stress, understand how you got to this place and more.

• Sex Therapy – to learn health sexuality, the six principles of sexual health, come to terms with sexual dysfunction and your erotic template.
