Here's what former clients have had to say about working with Martin McCombs PhD

Dr. McCombs made it easy for me to talk about things I'd never been able to talk about before.
👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
My wife and I were in a tough place, and agreeing to see Dr. McCombs and working with him saved our relationship.
👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
The peace of mind I found from working with Dr. McCombs was one of the best things I ever did for myself.
👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
I've started a new relationship, the first healthy one I've ever been in. I think I have you, Dr. McCombs, to thank for that. I'm excited about my personal life again.
👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
I've been in therapy before, but working with Dr. McCombs helped me in ways that other therapy had not.
👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
I just wanted to thank you, Dr. McCombs, for your wisdom and warmth and understanding, and for helping me see what was blocking me from getting things I wanted.
👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
I was having such trouble getting my husband to understand what I was feeling and why it was threatening our marriage. Dr. McCombs made both of us feel safe and find the courage we needed to face and handle our problems.
👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
Dr. McCombs, Thank you. Your experience along with your compassion and understanding, and your insights, did more for helping me fight for my own happiness than anything I've ever done and I can never thank you enough for that.
👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
The demons haunting me from my sexual assault just wouldn't let go of me, and trying to deny them any influence on my life wasn't working. You made it safe for me to face them, and heal from them. You are a gift to people in pain.
👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
I hadn't realized how uncomfortable I was talking with other therapists about my sex life, or I think how uncomfortable they were too. You were the opposite of that. I had expected to cry, but not to laugh as well. You helped me so much, and I'll never stop being grateful for that.
👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
I was having such painful turmoil about my sexuality because of my religious upbringing. I can't believe how much difference it made to talk with Dr. McCombs, or how deeply informed he is on the subject.
👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
We were terrified about what was going on with our adolescent, and they wouldn't talk to us about what they were going through. Dr. McCombs was the perfect solution, earning our child's trust and helping them deal with all the challenges they were facing.
👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
I felt like my sex life was out of control, like maybe I was addicted. I was afraid to face it, afraid of talking to anyone about it. Dr. McCombs' help was monumental in helping me manage what I was afraid of and finding perspective and balance. He really knows his stuff!
👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
Working with Dr. McCombs and the Surrogate Partner changed everything I thought I knew about who I was and how to be in a relationship. It also changed my body from not cooperating to cooperating and finding real joy and love and satisfaction with others. I am forever indebted.
👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
We were really thinking of calling it quits, even after nearly 40 years together. Dr. McCombs helped us face problems we'd ignored our entire marriage. We're so lucky to have found him.
With over 30 years of experience in human sexuality, mental health, and sex therapy, I offer a safe, non-judgmental, and evidence-based approach to help you address patterns of compulsive sexual behavior. I understand how distressing it can feel when your sexual behaviors seem out of control or damaging to your relationships. Together, we will explore the roots of these behaviors, develop strategies to manage urges, and rebuild a sense of healthy and fulfilling intimacy. I draw on integrative psychotherapy methods and, when helpful, incorporate Cognitive Behavioral interventions and Bibliotherapy to support concrete change.
You Don’t Have to Face These Challenges Alone
Sexual behaviors can sometimes feel out of control, and that can cause distress in your relationships, your work, and your sense of self. With over 30 years of experience, I’m here to help you restore balance and healthy intimacy.
Feeling unable to stop certain sexual behaviors, even when they cause harm to yourself or others, can feel frightening and isolating.
Compulsive or secretive sexual activity can damage trust and intimacy with partners, leaving you feeling disconnected or ashamed.
Sexual addiction can be tangled with feelings of guilt, shame, or self-hatred, making it hard to talk openly and seek help.
When sexual urges feel stronger than your ability to manage them, you may feel trapped in a cycle of acting out and regret.
Sexual compulsivity can interfere with work, friendships, family, and your sense of purpose, leaving you feeling overwhelmed.
