Male therapist for husband with sex issues
I'm seeking recommendations for a male therapist in Berkeley or Oakland who can help my husband with sex issues in our relationship. Sex addiction is a possible problem - it's unclear at this point. The issues have led to a serious two-year-long betrayal (not cheating but equally serious) and now there is a loss of trust in our relationship. Husband has been in denial about the gravity of his behavior but is now expressing openness to working on himself. Not seeking couples counselor at this time, but someone who will work individually with my husband. All previous relevant recommendations on BPN are 7+ years old. Thank you.

My husband saw George Collins in Walnut Creek for many, many years for sex addiction. It sounds like the same type of thing...not cheating, but equally destructive behaviors. It looks like George now has a practice called Compulsion Solutions. (925) 932-0201
Unfortunately I don’t have a therapist in the Bay Area i can recommend but Have your husband look onto the SLAA website. The Bay Area has a great sex love addict anonymous program and he can begin attending these meetings and get therapist recommendations there. Good luck!
SAA www.bayareasaa.org deals more directly with compulsive sex issues. SLAA tends to be geared more toward love/romance addiction.
