Therapy for Problematic Sexual Behavior

Specialized treatment for those struggling with sexual behaviors that feel out of control, create shame, or cause harm in relationships.

Healing from Problematic Sexual Behavior

Therapy for individuals seeking freedom, clarity, and connection

Problematic sexual behavior—whether it’s compulsive pornography use, infidelity, or secretive habits—often creates deep shame and emotional isolation. At Blue Harbor Counseling, we don’t just address the behavior. We explore the emotional, relational, and sometimes spiritual wounds that drive it.

Therapy offers a compassionate, structured path toward lasting change, healthier relationships, and greater integrity.

How To Get Started

Step 1
Schedule Your First Session

Begin with a 50–55 minute session to share your story and goals. This is not just intake… It's the start of meaningful therapeutic work, grounded in safety and honesty.

Step 2
Commit to Regular Sessions

Weekly therapy allows for depth, consistency, and emotional momentum. You’ll build insight, reduce shame, and begin developing new ways of relating to yourself and others.

Step 3
Move Toward Integrity & Healing

As the work deepens, clients often report feeling more whole, present, and clear. You’ll leave secrecy behind and gain tools for emotional regulation, self-compassion, and relational repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes and no. We use the broader term “problematic sexual behavior” to allow for nuance. Whether or not you identify as an “addict,” the behavior may still feel compulsive or misaligned with your values and that’s what we work on.

  • Therapy goes beneath the behavior to explore the emotional pain, trauma, and patterns that drive it. We’re not just replacing habits, we’re working toward sustainable, internal change.

  • Yes. Many clients come to therapy after being discovered by a partner or employer. We help you take responsibility, understand what led to the behavior, and begin making real, lasting changes.

  • It can be. We work with many Christian clients and others who value spiritual integration. If your beliefs are important to your healing, we’ll hold space for that without judgment or dogma.

  • Yes. We often recommend couples therapy, group support, or separate sessions for partners to address betrayal trauma, rebuild trust, and create shared goals for healing.

  • That’s completely normal. We offer a confidential, nonjudgmental environment where you can tell the truth and be met with care, insight, and professionalism. You are not your behavior and change is possible.
