I am extensively trained in treating sex addicts and their spouses, individually, in groups, and as couples, through the CSAT (Certified Sexual Addiction Therapy) certification program run by Dr. Patrick Carnes and the IITAP organization. I was personally trained by Dr. Patrick Carnes and Dr. Kenneth Adams as part of the CSAT training.
I specialize in treating the Orthodox community in my private practice, and I feel equally comfortable working with clients on all levels of the religious spectrum, including Chassidish, Yeshivish, Modern Orthodox, as well as those who are struggling with their religious identity.
Compulsive sexual behavior that you can't stop -- whether it's internet pornography, chat rooms, strip clubs, massage parlors, extramarital affairs, or prostitutes -- can have devastating consequences to your family, your career, and can literally ruin your life. My goal is to help people recover their lives before it is too late. I see sex and love addiction as a progressive disease and an intimacy disorder with a spiritual component. I primarily use Dr. Patrick Carnes' task-based model of treatment. I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other techniques including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and hypnotherapy. Graduate of Yale University and Columbia University. Recommended by many rabbanim in America and Eretz Yisroel.
The most important thing to do if you want to stop acting out is to take the first step and reach out for help. This is often the hardest step to take for many reasons. To make it easier, I offer a free phone consultation to all new clients. You can call me and tell me about your personal situation, and together we can discuss some possible treatment options that might be most helpful to you. I look forward to speaking with you.
