Dr. Michael Johnson is licensed psychologist providing treatment for sex addition to individuals and couples in Austin, Texas.

The opposite of Addiction isn’t Sobriety, its Connection.  Sex addiction is counterfeit connection.  Affairs, prostitution, pornography, objectification block real connection.  A safe, honest, sex-positive therapy space helps free people from the addiction and create life affirming connections.  I work with couples and individuals.  End your suffering – call today.

Counseling
I provide both individual and couples therapy.  Therapy is a cooperative, creative experience.  It happens in an emotionally safe, supportive, and uncritical environment.  In therapy, the history, causes, pains, and secrets surrounding life's struggles and goals are discovered, disclosed, and discussed in confidential care.  It is where the seeds of change are planted and nurtured into healthy new practices.  Therapeutic change reduces pain, suffering, and isolation and enhances human freedom, joy, creativity, and intimate connection.  Please feel free to contact me for details and scheduling.
