Beyond addiction
Many people assume a sex addiction specialist only treats sex addiction. Brad also treats the issues that often travel with it, such as anxiety, depression, panic, trouble with focus, obsessive thinking, alcohol and drug use, gambling, relationship and intimacy problems, and sexual dysfunction, so clients can work on everything with one therapist.
