Find Hope, Healing and Healthy Intimacy In Your Relationship

If you feel trapped in out-of-control sexual behaviors, you are not alone. Many people struggle with compulsive patterns such as pornography use, sexting, infidelity, escorts, hookups, or obsessive sexual fantasy, which they feel powerless to stop. These behaviors often create shame, secrecy, and guilt, while damaging relationships, careers, finances, and self-respect.

Hi, I’m Dr. Asher Lipner.

I work with people struggling with porn and sex addictions who want help stopping them. Too many people are trying to heal from their addictions on their own. This is causing them to feel incredible loneliness and shame as they get caught up in a cycle. If the issues aren't addressed with outside help they can end up getting worse.

I started working with people struggling with porn or sex addictions because I saw so many people are stuck living a life in which they are desperately lonely as a result of their addiction. They don’t realize what's missing in their life because their secret addiction has masked the emptiness they feel and they no longer have the ability to fix the problems in their lives.

I know how much courage it takes to reach out for help with these issues. I use my 20 years of experience as a therapist to make sure people who take the hard first step of reaching out for solutions get therapy that genuinely helps them.

How does it work? Here are three of the key ingredients to how I conduct therapy:

1. I Am Able To Work With Everyone Involved
I am unique in that I work with individuals suffering from sex and porn addiction, but I can also do therapy with the partner of the person struggling, and I can conduct couples therapy around the subject of addiction and intimacy.

2. I Challenge My Clients
I won’t waste your time—as we move through therapy, I’ll challenge you and help you unpack what you are going through. I also help you learn and practice new skills to overcome your addictions and proclivities.

3. I’m Collaborative
I have a structure that we work through, but my priority is respecting your autonomy in our sessions. I don’t have an agenda—we set goals and decide what our sessions look like together.

To get started, your next step is to schedule a free phone consultation. You don’t have to stay stuck feeling lonely or living a double life hiding things from the ones closest to you. I can help guide you as you leave the shame and distraction of your addiction behind and instead focus on achieving the life goals your addiction is holding you back from. Schedule a consultation today.
