Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program:
Sex & Porn Addiction
Our Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (VIOP) offers a higher level of care for individuals who need more support than weekly therapy, while still maintaining their daily responsibilities at home, work, or school. VIOP can serve as a step-up level of care when weekly therapy is not enough, or as a step-down option following more intensive treatment. VIOP is a structured, evidence-based treatment program that includes a combination of group therapy, individual sessions, and skills-based work delivered through secure telehealth.
For individuals located outside of California, we offer Recovery Coaching. Recovery Coaching is designed to provide practical tools, education, accountability, and ongoing support for individuals working toward recovery from compulsive sexual or pornography-related behaviors. Recovery Coaching is not psychotherapy, Instead, your coach can help you better understand recovery concepts, develop healthier routines, identify patterns and triggers, strengthen accountability, and put recovery tools into practice in your everyday life.
Below is a sample of our program which can be customized based on your needs.
