MEET OUR TEAM

Who We Treat

At Willow House we have the capacity to tailor our program to the specific needs of our patients. That means we can focus on sexual anorexia and love avoidance, which are much more fear-based, or issues like sex, porn, or masturbation addiction. We can address sexual trauma, work with human trafficking survivors, and we can help women who are dealing with domestic violence or toxic relationships learn how to appropriately leave or set boundaries. Our experts are highly trained and have experience working with a broad range of issues.

WHAT WE TREAT

Our Treatment Approach

Willow House is a small and intimate program which allows our multi-disciplinary clinical team to give each woman the individual attention she deserves. And such a small group results in a strong bond. Trauma is the foundation of our treatment program because we know that it is often a root cause for sex addiction and other intimacy issues.

Over the course of treatment, patients will work on family history/legacy, belief systems, body image issues, sexuality, gender roles, trauma, grief, resilience, empowerment, and creating a vision for moving forward with more self-compassion and purpose. Hand in hand with our expert staff and their peers, our clients progress through structured experiential activities that are designed to provide them with opportunities to experience successes, identify obstacles, improve self-esteem, and take greater responsibility for their choices and actions, proving to themselves that they are capable of doing what they thought was impossible.
 

Defining the Disorder

Compulsive sexual behavior — commonly referred to by the catchall phrase “sex addiction” — is classified as a mental health disorder on the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases list. The WHO’s ICD-11is recognized as the foundational document that clinicians and scientists around the world use to identify and study health problems, injuries, and causes of death.

In the ICD-11, compulsive sexual disorder is defined as “a persistent pattern of failure to control intense, repetitive sexual impulses or urges resulting in repetitive sexual behavior.” A disorder isn’t defined by the number of sexual partners you have or the specific sexual behaviors, instead it is marked by an individual’s sexual behavior becomes a “central focus of the person’s life to the point of neglecting health and personal care or other interests, activities, and responsibilities.”

Hope and Healing for Women

Our goal is for women to leave our treatment program with clarity about their inherent value and worth, feeling peaceful, confident, and healthy mentally, emotionally, and physically. By helping them to redefine their emotional trauma, change their negative self-beliefs, and gain practical skills for coping and communicating, we believe they can begin living full and meaningful lives in ways they never imagined.
