YOU’RE NOT ALONE IN YOUR ADDICTION
Pornography is a word that in itself strikes an emotional response in many people. Many have experienced the sorrow that comes with a pornography addiction. For some, it began in childhood and has been something they have carried because they are afraid of the reaction they will receive from their social groups and loved ones. Others are in despair, feeling completely overcome and hopeless as they believe they are unlovable and unable to overcome an addiction that has over-taken their life. On the other hand, there are those who have spouses and loved ones who suffer from pornography addiction, and there may be unnecessary feelings of worthlessness or doubt about one’s self that comes with this. There is hope for anyone who is seeking relief from pornography.
Here at Integrated Counseling and Wellness, we have specially trained and certified staff that are here to help you, no matter how pornography has affected you. We understand how much it hurts to fight against pornography whether you are addicted or someone you love is. We are here to lighten your burden and bring you real help.
Integrated Counseling and Wellness is a safe place for you to talk with someone who wants to help you. The conversations we have will be focused on helping you feel a renewed hope as you begin the process of a new life of recovery from pornography addiction. Our discussions will remain private, the people we speak to will be the people you agree for us to talk to. Sometimes we may make suggestions as to who you should talk to, but that choice will be yours when you are ready.
I look forward to each appointment and know that I will be treated with the utmost care, respect, and professionalism. I highly recommend this facility to others. 
I've seen a dramatic change in my life since beginning my treatment at Integrated Counseling, and I will be forever grateful for my time there. 
I went to integrated counseling for two years for eating disorder recovery. Every week, I loved meeting with my counselor to celebrate my successes and work through the barriers that come with mental health challenges. My counselor thoroughly explained the reasons behind eating disorder behaviors, showed empathy with hard topics, and helped me overcome Issues I had dealt with for years. I looked forward to each session. I am in a healthier state of mind and in a better place in life because of the thoughtfulness, kindness, and professionalism that my counselor showed me 
I am a 56 year old woman who has struggled with disordered eating for the past 42 years of my life. It wasn’t until I found my counselor with Integrated Counseling, that I started to reverse all the ill effects of dieting, issues around controlling all my food and letting go of my fat phobia. The program that my counselor guided me through was an awesome mix of self compassion, intuitive eating and movement, being present in all aspects of life and stopping judgement towards myself and others. I am convinced that I would not be nearly as far along in my healing process were it not for my counselor. She was gentle yet firm, patient and incredibly understanding. I am left with all the tools I need to proceed through life on my continued recovery journey. 
As a young woman who has struggled with body image and a relationship with food for most of my life, receiving counseling for my eating disorder was the only way I could finally see light at the end of my dark tunnel. My anorexia had consumed me to a point where food, exercise, and the way I perceived my body controlled my thoughts and feelings every hour of the day. It wasn't until I sought out counseling and had a desire to recover that I am finally healing. These past three years receiving professional help have truly saved my life. I am now the healthiest I have ever been. Without a shadow of a doubt, I would encourage any person who is struggling with an eating disorder to not be afraid to reach out and trust that you can finally learn to love yourself.

I had Annie as my therapist and she’s one of the best therapists I’ve ever had. She’s great at listening to what I need and making sure I’m comfortable no matter what. I love her and it’s because of her I know how to communicate and trust my therapists! Thank you! 
This place changed my life. I haven’t been there in about 4 years now, but I was reflecting over my experience and thought they deserved a good review. I originally went to see Luke back in 2017 to deal with my depression. After visiting with him for a few months we came to the conclusion that I was dealing with undiagnosed ADHD. My life has significantly improved because of Luke and my diagnosis. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 
I've gone to many Counselor places, but this seems to be the one. Excellent Service! By both the therapists and the staff! Very friendly and professional! The atmosphere is great as well! They don't take Medicaid sadly, but they have multiple kinds of professionals and services to fit your need! They also have an excellent website. They are good at communicating to you and each other, so that nothing goes wrong. 
I have loved my time with Integrated Counseling and Wellness. The staff made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. My therapist, Liz, was incredible. You can tell she is professionally trained, well qualified, and truly cares for her patients. I've seen a dramatic change in my life since beginning my treatment at Integrated Counseling, and I will be forever grateful for my time there. 
I have had nothing but a positive experience in my time receiving counseling at Integrated Counseling and Wellness. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional and the environment is conducive to peace and calm. I have made and continue to make great strides in improving my mental health thanks to my time here. 
LouAnn Stermer is an excellent counselor who cares deeply about her clients. In the past, I worked with her at 2 different times over several years. She always acted in a professional manner and with a great deal of integrity. Integrated Counseling is very lucky to have her. 
Luke Einerson is amazing! I always had the hardest time falling asleep, and with one visit, Luke made the perfect herbal mixture that has made all the difference! He was very knowledgeable and caring! Highly recommend him if you are looking for a more natural Herbal alternative! 
I have witnessed Luke's work with clients and can attest to his passion, compassion, and skill at delivering client-specific care. Luke really cares about the people he works with, and he is talented at seeing their potential to creatively help them realize that for themselves. 
Luke is an Executive Coach with a solid entrepreneurial experience and deep understanding of the healthcare ecosystem. This combined with his strong listening skills and “out of the box” thinking approach, brings a unique edge to his coaching practice. 
I have experienced incredible growth with the help of my counselor here. Best counseling I have ever had! 
HOW DO WE HELP YOU OVERCOME PORNOGRAPHY
Here at Integrated Counseling and Wellness, we take a holistic approach to pornography addiction that takes each individuals circumstance into mind. Four areas we look at that may be unique for each person are:
1. Supporting Biochemical Changes
2. Nervous System Regulation And Managing Stress
3. Identifying Underlying Trauma
4. Finding Meaning And Peak Performance
Supporting Biochemical changes is a way of saying we help you change your daily habits and life in a way that enables you to live a life of recovery from pornography addiction, it is the way we work with you to set you up for success. This could include changing where a computer is located, finding a support group, exercise, eating nutritious meals, or even taking yoga classes. We work with you to create new habits that support your recovery.
Nervous System Regulation And Managing Stress is the process of helping your brain transition back into its healthy and happy self. During a pornography addiction, the brain has come to rely on something that is unnecessary and harmful to you. We talk with you so that we can understand your unique circumstance and then we are here to guide you through a stressful time in your life and prepare you to enjoy meaningful and healthy relationships with your spouse and loved ones.
Identifying Underlying Trauma is taking a look at why a pornography addiction occurred in the first place. Many times it started as curiosity, but that is often not why it stayed. Recovery Ranch explained this directly as follows (https://www.recoveryranch.com/treatment-issues/love-sex-addiction/porn-addiction/):
Most porn addicts suffer from underlying emotional or psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem. Over time they learn to use sexual imagery not for pleasure, but as a way to dissociate from the uncomfortable feelings brought on by their underlying issues and difficult situations. Eventually, pornography becomes the default response for dealing with life stressors and unpleasant emotions and circumstances.
Since every individual who walks through our doors has a unique circumstance, we want to make sure we help you understand yourself and get you to a happy place in your life. Often this means we will help you become stronger by recognizing and treating other issues that may relate to why pornography has taken up such a large part of your life.
Finding meaning and peak performance is realizing that working on the barrier of pornography in your life opens your life up to more meaningful relationships in work, school, and family. Where pornography may have been the defining trait in your life, that may be replaced with excitement in your job, more passion and love for your spouse, more excellent performance in school, or more fun and tender moments with your children. Without Pornography controlling your life, you are left with the freedom to explore and experience a more beautiful life.
