If you’ve been caught in cycles of secrecy, shame, and behavior you can’t seem to stop, you already know willpower isn’t the answer. Compulsive sexual behavior isn’t a character flaw. It’s a problem your brain and nervous system have been solving, badly, for a long time. The good news is that it’s treatable, and it’s treatable well.
At Therapevo, our team includes Certified Sex Addiction Therapists (CSATs) trained through the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP), the body that credentials clinicians in the Patrick Carnes model of sex addiction recovery. Our Clinical Director, Caleb Simonyi-Gindele, is a CSAT and has built a team of clinicians who specialize in treating problematic sexual behavior, pornography addiction, and betrayal trauma. You’ll work with a therapist who actually knows the terrain.
You are more than the behavior you’ve been hiding. Recovery is possible, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Our clinicians use a structured recovery framework adapted for each client.
We look at your history and
the patterns driving the behavior
to find what’s actually underneath.
Together we build a concrete plan to stop
acting out and the structures that
hold lasting change in place.
When a partner is involved, we guide you through a clinically structured disclosure that protects trust instead of shattering it.
We use EMDR or Brainspotting, EFT, and psychodynamic work to reach the attachment wounds and trauma sitting underneath the compulsive behavior.
Whether you’re single or partnered, we help you rebuild the capacity for real closeness, which for many clients is new territory.
Sex addiction isn’t about high libido. It’s compulsive sexual behavior that continues despite real harm to your health, relationships, or self-worth. Signs include:
Sex addiction affects more than the person acting out.
It reshapes the whole family system, and real recovery has to address all of it.
We help you uncover the roots of the behavior, regain control, and rebuild self-worth.
If you’re partnered, we work with both of you to repair trust and rebuild intimacy, including specialized care for your partner’s betrayal trauma.
We help families talk about what happened honestly, make sense of it, and move forward together.

How long does recovery take?
Every situation is different, but many clients reach stable sobriety within a few months of consistent sessions. We’ll be honest with you: a full-blown sex addiction usually takes two to five years to fully recover from, and it may be the hardest thing you ever do.
Can sex addiction counseling help if I’ve tried to quit on my own before?
Yes, and if willpower alone hasn’t worked, that’s actually useful clinical information. Compulsive sexual behavior has roots in attachment and trauma that a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist is trained to reach.
Is sex addiction counseling confidential and discreet?
Yes. Every session is fully confidential and happens over secure video, so you can speak openly about what’s actually going on without fear.
What is a CSAT (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist)?
A Certified Sex Addiction Therapist is a licensed clinician trained through the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP), the credentialing body built around Dr. Patrick Carnes’ work. CSATs carry specialized expertise in compulsive sexual behavior that general therapists usually don’t.
How is CSAT therapy different from regular counseling for sex addiction?
CSAT therapy follows the Patrick Carnes 30-task recovery model, a structured clinical framework moving through denial, sobriety, disclosure, root causes, and healthy intimacy. A compassionate general therapist may simply be missing the clinical map. CSATs have it.
Can I work with a CSAT therapist online?
Yes. At Therapevo, all of our sessions, including CSAT therapy, happen over secure video. You can work with a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist from anywhere in our licensure area, which often makes this kind of care more workable and more private.
