Receiving Treatment for Sexual Addictions

Answered by Milena Colyer, MA, LPC

Question

hi ! is there any treatment centers for sex addicts in texas? or any counselors just for this in Austin, Texas? i really need some help.

Hello,

Thank you for asking such a wonderful question. While sexual addiction is not one of my area of expertise, I can certainly direct you toward the therapist that might work for you.

The Austin area has a variety of therapists that specialize in sexual addiction. I highly recommend working with one that offers both Individual and Group options, the support of a group (in addition to individual therapy) serves as a great enhancement to addiction treatment, and increases the likelihood of you experiencing success, as you take it one-day-at-a-time.

Click on the links below for lists of sex addiction therapists in your area, please be sure to read their personal profiles and ensure you choose the therapist that you believe might be the best fit for you.

Austin also has an SAA group (Sexual Addiction Anonymous) that serves those with sexual addictions in a manner similar to AA or NA serves those with alcohol or narcotic addictions. For more information go to: http://saa-austin.org/

I hope this helps and feel free to contact me if you have additional questions or would like more information.
