Are the self-defeating behaviors associated with intimacy disorder reversible? Absolutely. Thousands of people everyday receive relief from the heartache and trauma of self-defeating behavior. But like anything that has taken years to create, change does not happen overnight. It is an intentional and reliable process that, once complete, can lead to more stable and fulfilling relationships.

How do we begin? No medical doctor treats a sore throat by bandaging your ankle. Likewise, proper treatment for sexual issues begins with a proper diagnosis. We work through an initial evaluation process with you that helps us to understand your reactive behaviors. Those reactions help identify the true nature of your needs which helps direct us in developing an effective plan for your treatment. After this initial session we meet with you to outline your individual treatment options.

By integrating treatment that considers your behaviors (body), your thoughts and emotions (mind), and your spirit (heart), your transformation beyond intimacy disorder is more likely to be successful. Our counseling is conducted through a "Clinical Intensive" format. An Intensive is a focused three- to four-day session, tailored personally to the needs of the client or client family, and includes psychological testing. These sessions are available for individuals, couples, and families, and are intended for those who are medically stable, highly motivated, and in pursuit of significant insight and application.

We work with the Iceberg outline to help individuals and families identify destructive behaviors. Participants are encouraged to take appropriate responsibility for their own behaviors that have created conflict within themselves and with others.

Once self-defeating behaviors are clarified, participants learn how to correct distorted thoughts, heal damaged emotions, and restore or discover a relationship with God and, ultimately, with others who have been affected by their "tip of the iceberg" behavior. We teach that true recovery is not only possible, but also highly likely.
