In today’s digital world, pornography is more accessible than ever—and for some, that convenience can lead to a hidden and destructive struggle. Porn addiction affects thousands of people in Portland and surrounding areas, often in silence. Whether you’re dealing with personal consequences, relationship stress, or feelings of shame, know this: recovery is possible. At our Portland-based therapy center, we offer confidential and compassionate counseling both in person and through Zoom to help you regain control of your life.

What Is Porn Addiction?

Porn addiction is a compulsive need to view pornography, even when it negatively affects your mental health, relationships, and daily life. It’s not just about watching adult content—it’s about the inability to stop, even when you want to. Many individuals feel trapped in a cycle of shame, secrecy, and failed attempts to quit.

Porn addiction may not be officially recognized in every diagnostic manual, but its real-world impact is undeniable. The emotional, psychological, and relational consequences can be profound.

Common Signs You May Be Struggling with Porn Addiction

If you’re unsure whether your behavior qualifies as an addiction, here are several common warning signs:

• Loss of control – You’ve tried to stop but can’t.
• Escalation – You need more intense or frequent content to feel the same satisfaction.
• Neglecting responsibilities – Work, school, or family life suffers.
• Isolation – You spend more time alone or hide your behaviors.
• Emotional distress – You feel guilt, shame, anxiety, or depression after viewing porn.
• Interference with relationships – Intimacy, trust, and communication may be affected.

If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone—and help is available.

How Counseling Can Help You Heal

Therapy for porn addiction focuses on identifying the emotional triggers and psychological patterns behind the behavior. Our Portland-based therapists create a safe, judgment-free space where you can:

• Explore the root causes of your addiction (often linked to trauma, anxiety, or low self-esteem)
• Learn healthy coping mechanisms and emotional regulation skills
• Rebuild self-worth and confidence
• Improve communication and intimacy in your relationships
• Create a personalized relapse prevention plan

Whether you’re seeking individual therapy or couples counseling, we tailor treatment to your specific needs.
