Sex Addiction Therapy

Midtown / West Village–Greenwich Village, NYC & Melville, LI

Sex is good. Sex is fun. But when sexual urges, thoughts, or behaviors begin to control your life, it can feel overwhelming. If you’re missing work, keeping secrets from your partner, chasing riskier encounters, or spending hours looking for porn, you may be struggling with what’s often called sex addiction or compulsive sexual behavior disorder. I’m Dr. Cynthia Pizzulli, PhD, LCSW, Certified Sex Therapist, specializing in sex addiction therapy in NYC and Long Island. My approach is sex-positive, non-shaming, and focused on helping you regain control without fear or judgment.

Sex addiction counseling can help you identify triggers, manage urges, and break the cycle of secrecy and shame. Together, we’ll explore how compulsive sexual behaviors may be impacting your relationships, work, and emotional well-being. Treatment includes practical tools for urge management, reducing reliance on porn, building healthier coping skills, and restoring intimacy and trust. Whether you prefer the term sex addiction, out-of-control sexual behavior, or compulsive sexual behavior disorder, therapy provides a clear path to change.

I offer private, evidence-based sex addiction treatment for individuals and couples, both in-person in Midtown Manhattan, West Village/Greenwich Village, and Melville, Long Island, as well as via telehealth across New York. If you’re ready to take the next step, schedule a consultation today. Life is easier when your relationship—with yourself and with others—doesn’t hurt.
