taking a deeper look at one's work world, one's finances, one's care of body, and one's relational world and then embarking on new ways of growing into the
fullness of one's life as a man.

Groups offered at the Intimacy Center
We offer two phases of men's groups, groups for female partners of sex addicts, and groups for couples. More specific information is available below.
These groups offer a place to break out of isolation and shame, and to learn and practice healthy intimacy skills of support and accountability. Designed to
complement 12-Step Group work (SAA, SA, CoSa, etc.) these groups are a safe place to learn about yourself and learn new skills. Each group also meets in a
"Community group," without the therapist, to provide additional support and deepen relationships. While we come from a Christian spiritual experience, the
groups are a safe place for each person to express their spiritual journey as it applies to his or her recovery.
