Porn Overuse and Sex Addiction Therapy for Men in Edmonton
You already know something is wrong.
You don't need more shame about it. Most men who find this page have been carrying this secret alone for a long time. The cycle is familiar — the urge, the use, the regret, the promise to stop, and then starting all over again.
Maybe it's affecting your relationship. Maybe it's affecting how you see yourself. Maybe you've tried to quit on your own more times than you can count. You're not a bad person. You're a person stuck in a pattern — and patterns can be changed.
In the last 10-20 years, porn and hookup apps have promoted themselves to top tier vices...there's a reason it is one of the most common things men want to reduce in their life, but struggle to. The reason? It feeds on a shame spiral and pulls you back in every time. The good news is, it responds well to the proper support.

What Porn Overuse Therapy Looks Like at Forge
This work is handled with complete confidentiality and zero judgment. What you share in the room stays in the room. Our goal isn't to shame you into changing — shame is actually one of the core drivers of the cycle, and we know that.
Our goal is to help you understand what's underneath the behaviour and build something better in its place.
In sessions, you can expect to:
- Understand the compulsion cycle and what's actually driving it beneath the surface
- Work through the shame that keeps the pattern locked in place
- Build genuine motivation for change — not willpower-based white-knuckling
- Develop practical strategies to interrupt urges and respond differently
- Address the impact on your relationship, your self-image, and your sense of identity
- Rebuild a healthier relationship with intimacy and sexuality on your own terms
Meet the Therapists Who Lead This Work
Chris Lefebvre, Registered Psychologist, brings a uniquely well-rounded approach to this area. He works with men using
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), clinical hypnosis, and motivational interviewing to to help you build genuine, lasting, internal motivation for change — rather than shame-driven attempts that inevitably collapse.
This Doesn't Have to Be Your Secret Forever
The longer this stays hidden, the more power it has. Bringing it into a confidential, professional space is often the single most important step — and one of the hardest. If you're ready to stop the cycle, we're ready to help.
