Located in Santa Clara, the California Institute for Sexual Recovery provides an intensive outpatient treatment program for men and women who are sexually addicted. The CIFSR staff works one on one with each client to develop an individualized treatment program.

Our goal is to assist and support clients on their journeys toward healthier, more satisfying lives. Addressing underlying psychological issues, which perpetuate cycles of sexual compulsivity, is crucial for long-term recovery, and is an essential feature of the program.

Our therapeutic approach is based on the model of Dr. Patrick Carnes, Ph.D., (author of Out of the Shadows and Contrary to Love), and incorporates elements of Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic, Family Systems, and Experiential Therapies.
