You've been carrying this shame alone for a long time. You were never meant to.


Men's Sex & Porn Addiction Recovery Group (Virtual, Memphis & Beyond)  

The Isolation Is the Hardest Part

You've probably told yourself no one else could understand this. That you're uniquely broken, that if the men in your life knew, they'd be disgusted. So you keep it hidden, and the hiding makes it worse. Secrecy and shame are the fuel this runs on, and isolation is where it grows strongest.

Here's what changes everything: sitting in a room with other men who get it, because they're fighting the same battle. Not because they read about it, but because they've lived it. The moment you realize you're not the only one, the shame starts to lose its grip.

A Different Kind of Room

I'm Allan J. Katz, a licensed counselor and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT). I lead a weekly men's group for guys working on sex and porn addiction, and it's one of the most powerful parts of recovery I offer. Individual therapy does deep work, but there's something a group gives that one-on-one can't: proof that you're not alone, accountability from people who understand, and the experience of being fully honest with other men and accepted anyway. 

Why Group Works When Going It Alone Doesn't

It breaks the isolation.

The lie that you're the only one dies the moment you hear another man describe your exact struggle. Community is the antidote to shame and addiction. 

It builds real accountability.

You're not just checking in with a therapist once a week. You've got other men who know your goals and have your back between sessions. 

It's where you practice honesty.

Being truthful with a group of men, and accepted anyway, rebuilds the self-respect and connection the addiction stole. 

The Loneliness Underneath the Behavior

For a lot of men, acting out was never really about sex. It was about filling a loneliness or numbing a disconnection that started long before the behavior did. That's the cruel part: the very thing you reach for to cope drives you deeper into isolation, which drives the behavior. Group breaks that loop from the outside. When you finally belong somewhere and let yourself be known, the pull toward the old escape gets weaker, because the need it was meeting is finally being met in a way that actually heals.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm not sure I can talk about this in front of other people.

Almost every man feels that before his first session, and almost every one is glad he came. The group is confidential, guided, and built to feel safe. You share at your own pace, and you'll quickly find these are the people who understand best.

Do I need to be in individual therapy too?

Not necessarily, though many men do both. We'll talk during your consultation about what makes sense for you. Some men use the group as their core support; others pair it with one-on-one work.

Is it really confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality is foundational and every member commits to it. What's shared in the group stays in the group.

How do I join?

It starts with a free consultation so we can make sure it's the right fit. From there, you join the weekly Monday group and become part of the community.  Call 901-248-6001 for more details.
