Position Statement

TCA is a sex addiction-positive association. This does not mean that our professionals need to treat sex addiction or may not have other viewpoints. It does mean that our professionals will make no derogatory, demeaning, or dismissive statements regarding sex addiction and, if a sex addiction therapist (including IITAP certified therapists) refers a client to a TCA certified therapist, that therapist will work cooperatively with the addictions therapist to facilitate the client’s recovery and help that client develop the ability to have a healthy sexual life, however the client defines it.
