Clinical Offerings

Lives and relationships are being destroyed by unwanted sexual behavior. At Pure Desire, we offer clinical counseling so that you can break free, heal relationships, and live in sexual health. 

Pure Desire offers counseling programs for men, women, and couples in need of recovery and healing from the effects of unwanted sexual behavior and betrayal. A description of each counseling program Pure Desire offers is listed below.  

To get started you will be asked to complete two or three online assessments. Once complete you will meet with a Pure Desire clinician for an evaluation session.
