Featured Therapist
Hi, I'm David Sanchez, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist Supervisor, Trauma therapy expert utilizing HOCI, EMDR and Brainspotting (Certified), Men's Assertiveness and Empathy Specialist, and the founder of Charlotte Counseling Associates, PLLC in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Are you feeling uneasy about seeing a therapist? That's completely normal and understandable. You need someone that can partner with you and that has the training and patience to help you through the pain and consequences you are going through right now due to your porn/sex addiction and/or other men's issues. My clients report a wave of relief just by coming in and talking about their challenges. They feel relieved to know that there is a plan and hope for their life again. Your life and relationships can get better!

Are you ready for hope?
My approach to counseling is to find those that are ready to work on their addictions, assertiveness, anxiety, relationship, trauma and more right now. I provide a professional, safe and non-judgmental atmosphere in which to carefully assess your situation. I want to know what truly matters to you, and to figure out what is getting in the way of that. My goal is to help you not lose anything that matters to you, and the sooner you start, the better chance you can save your relationship, job, health etc. I thoroughly enjoy what I do, therefore; it is important to me that you receive my full attention as we discover the best plan for your situation.
Do you feel that you are not feeling joy and happiness in the things that used to be important to you? I get that. Since I was a teenager, I have enjoyed listening to others and now as a certified sex addiction therapist and licensed clinical counselor, I have the training to help individuals improve their life.
I enjoy working with adults who need help moving towards what matters most to them. I have over 17 years of counseling experience with individuals and families dealing with an array of mental health and addictive challenges. These challenges can be co-occurring and can negatively influence your life as well as the lives of those you love. Therefore, it is important to seek counseling now as these challenges arise.
