Web Site: www.Imagohealing.com This is a small list of treatment programs and psychotherapists who specifically work with gay sex addicts. Undoubtedly there are other gay-focused sex addiction programs and therapists that can be found by searching and asking. Programs and psychotherapists that specalize in general sexual addiction treatment may have experience or professional instincts to assist the gay sex addict without advertising the fact. It would be worth the effort to call any program or individual specializing in sex addiction and ask about gay services. Likewise, any sources of general gay counseling or treatment can be checked out regarding their sex addiction knowledge. If they don't have both areas of expertise, they may be able to refer you where you can get both.
