Trauma and Sex Addiction Counselling
Specialized counselling for trauma, partner betrayal, and compulsive sexual behaviours.
Repeated patterns of pornography use, infidelity, hook-ups, paying for sex, and other compulsive, secretive behaviours can disrupt living a stable, connected, and purposeful life. For partners, these experiences often involve a profound loss of trust and emotional disorientation.
These behaviours are not signs that you are bad, broken, or beyond help. Traumatic life experiences have shaped you and led to coping habits that temporarily soothe underlying distress. But they are only short-term solutions for an overwhelmed nervous system that now requires attention.
Individuals and families affected by these issues often experience shame, guilt, and a sense of powerlessness. Many seek counselling after attempting to manage these challenges on their own, or when the emotional and relational impact becomes too difficult to carry alone. This is the moment when many cry out, “I can’t do this anymore! I don’t know what to do!” These complex issues require specialized counselling and treatment.
Nick Abraham is a Master’s level clinician, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), and Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), with training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). He has worked in leading treatment centres across Canada and the United States, supporting thousands of individuals and families navigating complex issues related to addiction, betrayal, and trauma.
Nick works alongside you to address the root causes of your problem, meeting you with a calm, compassionate, and insightful demeanour.
“I believe that with the right help and support, we can overcome these devastating issues and rediscover the freedom and light inherent within.”
Areas of specialization
-
Trauma
Trauma can happen to anyone. Trauma occurs when an experience overwhelms a person’s ability to cope. It can result from a single event or from ongoing experiences such as betrayal, abuse, neglect, or chronic stress. Trauma is not a weakness—it is a protective response.
-
Sex and love addiction
Sex and love addiction are compulsive patterns of sexual or relational behaviour used to cope with emotional pain, stress, or unmet needs. This is not a failure of willpower, but rather a learned coping response.
-
Partner betrayal
Partner betrayal trauma is a profound emotional and psychological injury that occurs when someone you depend on for safety, love, and honesty—most often a partner—breaks that trust through secret sexual behaviour, infidelity, or compulsive sexual acting out. It is common for those affected to feel overwhelmed, confused, or constantly on edge as they try to make sense of what has happened and regain a sense of stability.
Vision
To provide a safe, steady therapeutic space where people can heal from trauma, restore trust in themselves and others, and create lasting change in their lives and relationships.
Take the first step by booking an initial consultation or sending Nick a message.
