GATHERED EMBERS COUNSELING & RECOVERY

Structured support for compulsive sexual behaviors, betrayal trauma, and relational healing

Gathered Embers Counseling & Recovery is a focused practice within Hopewell Psychological Associates dedicated to helping individuals and couples impacted by compulsive sexual behaviors and relational betrayal.

Many clients arrive feeling overwhelmed by secrecy, shame, loss of trust, or the effects of betrayal trauma. Recovery requires more than simply stopping unwanted behaviors. It involves understanding the patterns beneath them, developing greater emotional awareness and accountability, and creating pathways toward healing and restoration.

As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) Candidate under supervision, I work primarily with men individually and in recovery-focused groups while maintaining awareness of the profound impact these struggles have on spouses, marriages, and families.
