Professional Services

At Kenneth M. Adams and Associates, we provide a range of services to deal with the problem of sex addiction, trauma, and sexual abuse.

Sexual addiction recovery requires multiple interventions at critical points in the sexual addiction recovery process. Sex addiction is a multi dimensional disorder that responds best when the individual dealing with sex addiction is willing to take advantage of specific services as the need arises in the sexual addiction recovery process.  The sexual addiction recovery process assists sex addicts in altering long standing patterns and embrace sexual health.

Individuals needing sexual abuse recovery will find help in our specialized individual therapy, EMDR techniques, and/or trauma recovery groups. Sexual abuse recovery requires a sensitive and supportive approach. Our approach to sexual abuse recovery offers clients a chance to heal from the painful effects of sexual abuse and lead more fulfilling lives.

Our approach to couples or marriage counseling takes into account the unique challenges faced by couples dealing with sexual infidelity and betrayal. The loss of trust from dealing  with infidelity from sexual addiction requires embracing a recovery process that takes into account the challenges faced by  the sex addict and spouse as they attempt to rebuild their relationship. Hope and change are possible.

Partners and Spouses Treatment

Many partners and spouses of sex addicts are burdened with feelings of betrayal, isolation, mistrust, anger, vigilance, and a sense of unreality due to the infidelity caused by the addiction. They have difficulty regaining their emotional balance and are often in acute distress. At Kenneth M. Adams we are particularly sensitive to the specific concerns of those suffering from the impact of a partner’s sex addiction and subsequent infidelity. Through supportive and clarifying individual therapy, education from the Beginnings Care Program, partners of sex addicts can heal from the effects of the infidelity and betrayal. They can build a renewed sense of themselves and learn they are not alone.

Infidelity is commonly associated with actual physical, sexual contact with another person outside of a committed relationship. However, spouses of sex addicts report reactions similar to this form of infidelity even if there is not direct physical, sexual contact with another person. Addicts chatting sexually online, viewing pornography, masturbating to images and fantasy following internet use produce low self-esteem, self-blame, mistrust, and negative comparisons to the “other” in spouses normally found with infidelity involving another person physically.
