The compulsive behavior interferes with the normal daily life and its responsibilities and can cause devastating results. The LGBTQ+ community can find out about what sexual addiction is, what are its signs and symptoms, its causes and risk factors, and how to deal with it by seeking sex addiction help. 

Robert is currently the Program Director at Samaritan Daytop Village, providing comprehensive Mental health and Addiction Services to over ninety clients daily in the New York area. Samaritan Daytop Village’s mission statement encapsulates their stance that “We believe that good resides in each of our clients.” Robert’s emphasis with his clients and the populations he serves is one based through spiritual components of healing.
