Sex addiction is complex and often misunderstood and can have a profound impact on a person's life. It can cause feelings of guilt and shame, and can lead to the breakdown of personal and professional relationships. If left untreated, unwanted sexual behaviors often escalate and become more destructive over time.
If you are struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, finding a safe and supportive community is essential to your recovery. A sex addiction therapy group can be an ideal place to connect with others who understand what you're going through and can offer support, encouragement, and insight as you work on your specific issues. Throughout the group meetings, you will have the opportunity to share your experiences and insights, learn new skills and tools for managing triggers and cravings, and receive feedback and support from both the therapist and other group members.
A group therapy environment can be especially beneficial for sex addiction therapy for several reasons.
First, it can provide you a sense of community and belonging, which can be crucial if you are struggling with shame and isolation around your sexual behavior. Knowing that you are not alone in your struggles can be incredibly validating and empowering.
Second, group therapy provides opportunities for learning from others' experiences and perspectives. Hearing about how other group members have coped with similar challenges, or have found success in their recovery can offer inspiration and new ideas for your own healing journey.
Third, group therapy can offer a safe and supportive space to practice interpersonal skills, such as setting boundaries, expressing emotions, and receiving feedback. These skills can be essential for building healthy relationships and repairing any harm that may have been caused by compulsive sexual behavior.
Finally, group therapy can help you develop a sense of accountability and responsibility to your peers. Sharing your struggles and successes with others can help motivate you to stay committed to your recovery goals and to hold yourself accountable for your actions.
We often hear from group members who come to us looking for something "better" in terms of a group setting. Many have found that in traditional SAA groups, members may share stories or experiences that are sexually explicit or overly graphic in nature. While the intention behind sharing these stories is to help individuals feel less alone in their struggles and to provide support, the explicit content can be triggering or uncomfortable for some, especially in the early stages of recovery.
Additionally, some groups may be poorly managed, and may lack structure or guidance from experienced leaders. This can lead to confusion or misunderstandings about the recovery process, and may even create an unsafe environment for some members.
Overall, while SAA groups can provide a valuable source of support for individuals struggling with sex addiction, it is important to approach them with a critical eye and to prioritize one's own safety and wellbeing above all else. If you attend an SAA group, or any group therapy, it's important to speak up and set boundaries, and to seek support from a qualified therapist or mental health professional who can provide guidance.
In our SA groups, we focus on providing a non-judgmental and confidential environment where you can explore your sexual behaviors, emotions, and relationships. Unlike traditional Sex Addicts Anonymous groups, our group is led by a licensed therapist who has extensive specialized training in sex addiction and trauma. In addition, our group leader has overcome his own struggles with sex addiction and achieved lasting recovery for over a decade. This means you will never have to explain or defend your actions or feelings, and you will always be working with someone who knows exactly what you're going through. Our groups are designed to meet the unique needs of individuals struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors, regardless of how the symptoms are presenting, and there is no shaming or blaming involved.
Throughout the course of the group, you will have the opportunity to learn new skills and tools for managing triggers and cravings, and receive feedback and support from both the therapist and other group members.
Some of the topics we may cover in the group include:

If you are a Christian man struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, it can be challenging to reconcile your faith with the shame and guilt that often accompany sex addiction. However, you are not alone in your struggles, and finding a supportive community of other Christian men who understand your challenges can be a crucial step towards healing and recovery. This group is specifically designed for Christian men who want to overcome their compulsive sexual behavior and strengthen their relationship with God.
The focus of the group will be clinical, concentrating on the clinical aspects of dysfunctional sexual behaviors. During group work, you will have the opportunity to share your experiences and insights, learn new tools for managing triggers, and deepen your understanding of how your relationship with God can support your recovery. We incorporate biblical principles and teachings into our therapy approach, helping you to develop a deeper sense of purpose, meaning, and connection to God.

In addition to the other benefits of group work, group therapy for SA can help Christian men develop a deeper relationship with God and a stronger sense of purpose and meaning in their lives. By exploring biblical teachings and principles related to sex addiction and recovery, group members can build a more holistic and integrated approach to healing that incorporates their faith.
If you are the partner of someone struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, you may be experiencing a wide range of difficult emotions, from anger and betrayal to shame and isolation. It can be challenging to navigate these feelings on your own, and finding a supportive community of others who understand what you're going through can be invaluable. A partners group can provide a safe and confidential space to connect with others who are facing similar challenges and to receive support, guidance, and education from a licensed therapist.
Our groups focus on providing a non-judgmental and empathetic environment where you can explore your emotions, heal your betrayal trauma, and develop a deeper understanding of your partner's addiction and how it may be impacting your relationship. The group is led by a licensed therapist with specialized training in sex addiction and partner trauma, and is designed to meet the unique needs of partners of individuals struggling with compulsive sexual behavior.
Some of the topics we may cover in the group include:
In addition to group discussions, we may also incorporate other therapeutic approaches such as mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused interventions. Each group session is structured to provide a balance of support and challenge, and to help you develop greater insight and awareness of your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
