Front Range Counseling Center has counselors that specialize in sexual addiction counseling and provide men’s sexual addiction group therapy groups in both its Denver Southeast office and Littleton office. We enjoy writing articles about sexual addiction topics and how best to make sure you fully understand the real issues underneath the addiction. We also try to provide tools for relapse prevention, working recovery, healing for the partner, and what to expect from counseling.
We believe there is no one way to work recovery so within this blog we try to provide many different ideas and ways to work your journey of healing and freedom. We also strongly believe that a sex addict and his/her partner need marriage counseling from a therapist who understands the special circumstances and direction for your relationship to experience restoration. Call us today at 303-933-5800 or request information through our contact form.
