Groups for Men who have compulsive sexual behaviors using Harm Reduction!

Are you concerned with your sexual behavior?

• whether it be:watching explicit sexual material (aka porn),
• hooking up
• or practicing any other type of consensual sexual behavior?
• Does it feel compulsive or out of control for you?

We don't call it sex addiction.

We approach OCSB (out of control or compulsive sexual behavior - as defined by the participant) from a Harm Reduction perspective.

Groups are on Monday evenings from 6:00 to 7:15.

Virtually throughout California

We work with you from a Harm Reduction Perspective and help you align with your sexual health goals!

Harm Reduction Therapy Groups Continue!

Group Harm Reduction Therapy allows you to:

• set short and long-term goals regarding substance use 
• learn about the substances that you would like to change your relationship to
• design a plan to change the way you use substances

All without using cookie-cutter approaches that don’t work for everyone.

These groups are designed to provide support for clients who are interested in exploring their relationship to substances and want to make change. Any positive change that may include moderation goals or abstinence from certain substances is explored.

In group, we discuss Harm Reduction strategies including the stages of change, "drug, set, setting" analysis, , dealing with the inner critic, family dynamics, and moderate goal setting, to name a few. Group therapy is designed to increase your awareness of your substance use and come away with strategies to better reach your substance use intentions.

There are 2 groups that meet on Wednesday Evenings:

5:30 to 6:50pm: THIS GROUP IS VIRTUAL FOR ANYONE IN CALIFORNIA.

(This group is currently full but we have a waitlist going)

7:10 to 8:30pm. This group is in person in the Mission district in SF for 2 meetings a month (the first and third Wednesdays) and virtually for the other meetings. This group currently has 2 openings.
