A male therapist for sex and porn addiction recovery across Texas.
Chad Touchette is a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) offering confidential individual therapy, couples counseling, and addiction recovery work — delivered virtually, from wherever you feel safest.
Life can feel completely overwhelming — and that's a normal response to an overloaded system.
When you're operating on empty, even the smallest daily choices can feel paralyzing. For many men, this deep, chronic stress shows up as irritability — snapping at the people you love most, then flooded by guilt and shame.
If this sounds familiar, please know that you do not have to carry it alone. When we carry unresolved pain, daily anxiety, or old hurts, our perspective shifts — it becomes incredibly difficult to see our own strengths, self-worth, and potential.
Stress and anxiety frequently trick us into believing that:
- We aren't doing enough as parents, partners, or professionals.
- Change is impossible, and we will always feel this stuck.
- Our fears and intrusive thoughts are entirely out of our control.
Therapy is an opportunity to break the cycle.
Counseling is more than talking about your problems — it's a collaborative process designed to help you regain control of your life, in a space that is safe, supportive, and non-judgmental.

- Trained in the Gottman Method
I began my journey in the mental health field in 2004 and have been actively practicing therapy since 2009. Over the past two decades, I've dedicated my career to understanding human behavior, healing trauma, and helping individuals and couples build deeply fulfilling lives and relationships. As a male therapist, I offer a perspective and presence that many clients — especially men working through sex and porn addiction — find easier to open up to.
Specialized expertise
With over five years of dedicated experience, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals and couples navigating compulsive sexual behaviors — breaking cycles of shame, establishing healthy boundaries, and rebuilding fractured trust. As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist through IITAP, I bring evidence-based tools and proven clinical resources to this work. See how sessions work.
Relational health is a core passion of my work. I've completed extensive training in two of the most evidence-based relationship modalities available — Emotion-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method — helping couples map their negative communication loops, heal emotional wounds, and build a research-backed foundation for lasting intimacy.
My therapeutic philosophy
I believe therapy is most effective when it's a true partnership. In our sessions, you can expect an approach that is:
Direct & transparent
Honest, straightforward feedback and clear insight — no hiding behind clinical jargon.
Collaborative & informative
We're a team. I combine your self-knowledge with clinical expertise, sharing the "why" behind how you feel.
Compassionate & open-minded
Growth requires safety. I meet every client with radical empathy, regardless of how sensitive the challenge.
