Men’s Group for Compulsive Sexual Patterns
Ketamine-Assisted Program in Los Angeles
For many, sexual behaviors can take on a life of their own. Consuming attention, damaging relationships, or leading to choices that don’t reflect who you want to be.
This six-month group therapy program is designed for men who want to understand and change sexual patterns that feel compulsive. It isn’t about moralizing or suppressing sexuality. The goal is greater choice and alignment with the life you want to live.
We meet as a small, closed cohort with weekly virtual group therapy and monthly in-person ketamine-assisted sessions in Los Angeles.

Why group work matters
Group work is a central component in the treatment of compulsive sexual patterns. That’s because these patterns are rarely just about sex. They involve how you relate, how you hide, and how you show up.
In a stable group, the work is no longer abstract. It happens in real time. You speak honestly. You remain present. You learn that all of you can be seen without being shamed or rejected.
Individual therapy is valuable, but walking this path alongside other men matters. You’re not explaining yourself to an outsider. You’re working with peers who understand the pull, the rationalizations, and the consequences because they’re living it too.
A small, committed group offers:
Relief from secrecy and isolation
Support from other men facing similar struggles
Continuity and accountability over time
The experience of being known without performance or concealment
This kind of shared, relational work cannot be done in individual therapy alone.
The role of ketamine
Ketamine has shown promise in treating conditions involving entrenched behavioral and emotional patterns. In this program, ketamine supports three important aspects of the work.
First, it appears to temporarily increase the brain’s capacity for change, allowing patterns that feel fixed to become more flexible.
Second, many compulsive sexual patterns are rooted in earlier experiences of disconnection, shame, or unmet relational needs. Ketamine can help bring those underlying experiences into awareness, creating an opportunity to process them rather than continually enact them.
Finally, when ketamine sessions occur within a stable group over time, many participants find themselves more emotionally open and present with one another. This directly addresses the isolation that often sustains compulsive behavior.
A sex-positive environment
Many men seeking help for compulsive sexual behavior have encountered environments that treat sex as a problem. This often increases shame and makes change harder.
This group takes a different approach.
It doesn’t seek to eliminate sexuality or impose a single model of what healthy sex should look like. The goal is to restore choice. For many men, this involves rediscovering sexuality as a source of authentic expression and connection.
How I work
Over my 16 years of clinical work, I spent several years practicing at a treatment center specializing in compulsive sexual behaviors. There, I facilitated men’s groups, worked individually with clients, and helped facilitate intensive treatment programs. I also worked extensively with individuals and couples navigating the aftermath of betrayal.
My work integrates structured recovery tools, mindfulness-based approaches, and extensive training in psychedelic-assisted therapy.
This group moves at a steady pace. The focus is not only on changing behavior, but on emotional and relational capacity that makes change durable.
Who this is for
This group is for adult men whose sexual patterns have become difficult to control or are creating strain in their lives or relationships. These patterns may involve sex with others, solo sexual activity (such as pornography or masturbation), or other behaviors like app use, online messaging, or paid sexual encounters.
It may not be appropriate for those in active substance dependence that would make ketamine use unsafe.
A screening conversation is part of the intake process to ensure appropriate fit.
