Sexual Addiction Counseling in Colorado

Feeling controlled by compulsive sexual behavior. The shame cycle of promising yourself it will stop, then finding yourself right back where you started. The secrecy that's straining your relationships and your sense of self. You shouldn't have to fight this battle alone. Overcomers Counseling offers confidential sexual addiction counseling across Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, and Pueblo, plus statewide teletherapy.

You Don't Have to Fight This Alone

Compulsive sexual behavior often isn't really about sex — it's frequently tied to stress, shame, trauma, or using a behavior to cope with difficult emotions. Shame keeps a lot of people from ever bringing this to a therapist. Our therapists approach this work with compassion, not judgment, understanding that lasting change starts with honesty in a safe space.

Signs Sexual Addiction May Need Support

Common signs include feeling unable to stop a behavior despite wanting to, escalating patterns over time, secrecy or lying to hide the behavior, negative consequences to relationships, work, or finances, and using the behavior to cope with stress or difficult emotions.

How Our Therapists Help

Our providers use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed approaches to help you understand what's driving the behavior, build healthier coping tools, and work toward the goals you set for yourself. For clients who want it, we also offer faith-integrated counseling grounded in grace and accountability, alongside couples support when partners are affected.

What is the goal of counseling for sexual addiction?

The goal of counseling for sexual addiction isn’t to shame you. It's to help you find a new sense of freedom and control over your life. When you're struggling with sexual addiction, it can feel like you're on a rollercoaster that you can't get off of. We work together to help you understand the "why" behind your behavior and build a new toolkit of strategies to manage your urges. We believe you have the power to live a life that is full and rewarding, and we are here to help you get there.

What are some common signs of sexual addiction?

It can be hard to know if you have a sexual addiction. But if your sexual behavior feels out of control, if you're engaging in risky behavior, or if your sexual behavior is impacting your relationships, it might be a sign that you have a problem. We understand that this is a difficult thing to admit. We'll provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore what’s happening and help you take the first step to a better life.

Can therapy help with sexual addiction?

Yes! Therapy is a powerful tool to help you stop the cycle of sexual addiction. Think of it as a guide to help you find your way out of the maze. Therapy helps you identify the triggers that lead to your compulsive sexual behavior and teaches you new coping skills. We’ll also help you find new ways to handle life’s stresses and difficult emotions without turning to sex. We believe you have the power to change and to find a new way to live.

What is the difference between high libido and sexual addiction?

A high libido is a normal, healthy part of a person's sexuality. It’s when a person has a strong desire for sex, but they are in control of their behavior. Sexual addiction is when the desire becomes a compulsive need that you feel you can't control. It's when your sexual behavior starts to negatively impact your relationships, work, and health. We can work together to help you understand your unique experience and develop a plan to take control.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hilary was lovely. She was kind, patient, incredibly knowledgeable and very validating. She had extensive knowledge of my conditions that most providers dismiss and it was very comforting and encouraging to hear she knew of those conditions and was well informed of them. Best psychiatrist I've had yet. 10/10
