Is Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) an officially recognized clinical diagnosis?

Yes. CSBD is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the ICD-11 as an impulse control disorder. Our clinicians treat it through evidence-based neurobiological and trauma-informed frameworks.

Does insurance cover CSBD and pornography addiction therapy at Atium Health?

Yes. We accept SelectHealth and most major Utah carriers, and offer transparent private-pay options.

What if I've tried to stop before and it didn't work?

Failed attempts don't mean you're beyond help. They usually mean you were trying to fix a biological and emotional pattern with willpower alone, which rarely works long-term. This time, you'd have real clinical support.

No. Our approach is shame-free by design. We treat compulsive sexual behavior as a treatable pattern rooted in trauma and neurobiology, not a moral failing. You'll be met with compassion, not judgment.

Is my treatment for sexual compulsion completely private and confidential?

Absolutely. All intake, in-person therapy at our Pleasant Grove office (1398 W State Rd), and virtual telehealth sessions are protected under strict federal HIPAA confidentiality laws.

CSBD Treatment in Utah County

If you're here, you're probably exhausted. Tired of promising yourself "never again," tired of the shame that follows, tired of feeling like you're the only one who can't just stop. You're not broken, and you're not alone. What you're experiencing has a name, a cause, and a real path forward. Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) is officially recognized by the World Health Organization as a persistent failure to control intense, repetitive sexual impulses. At Atium Health, we move beyond shame and willpower to address the root causes: neurobiological dopamine imbalances, trauma-informed attachment wounds, and maladaptive coping mechanisms.

Atium Health provides specialized, confidential CSBD, pornography addiction, and out-of-control sexual behavior (OCSB) treatment at our physical clinic in Pleasant Grove (1398 W State Rd). We serve clients across Pleasant Grove, Lehi, American Fork, Orem, and surrounding Utah County, as well as secure telehealth across Utah and Arizona.

Available in-person at our Pleasant Grove Clinic or via Utah telehealth.

The Science of Change

If you've beaten yourself up for not having enough willpower, here's something important to understand: Sexual compulsion "hijacks" the brain's natural reward system. Constant exposure to high-arousal stimuli creates a surge of dopamine that eventually desensitizes the brain. This is why "willpower" often fails—you are fighting a biological shift, not a moral failing. The good news? The brain is neuroplastic. Through specialized therapy, we work to rewire these neural pathways, helping your brain return to a state where you can find joy and connection in everyday life again.

Our Three Pillars of Recovery

Neurobiological Reset

Strengthening the prefrontal cortex for impulse control and calming the brain's hijacked reward pathways.

Trauma-Informed Healing

Utilizing Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and EMDR to address the attachment wounds driving compulsive behaviors.

Environmental & Relational Strategy

Building real-world boundaries, accountability, and healthy intimacy structures.

Is it Compulsive Sexual Behavior?

If some of this sounds familiar, you're not alone, and recognizing it is already a sign of strength, not failure. Here's what compulsive sexual behavior often looks like:

Loss of Control

Repeatedly failing to reduce or stop the behavior despite a sincere desire to do so.

Escalation

Needing more frequent or more extreme content/acts to achieve the same emotional "numbness."

Neglect of Responsibilities

Choosing sexual behavior over work, family, or social obligations.

Consequences

Continuing the behavior despite negative impacts on your marriage, career, or mental health.

Using Sex as an Anesthetic

Using the behavior primarily to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression.
