On March 19, 2009 Life Healing Center of Santa Fe brought together a tour de force of women to take on the task of helping female sex and love addicts! Sex Addiction Los Angeles
I am writing to you from Santa Fe, New Mexico where I just spent the past 2 1/2 days with approximately 12 women from around the country who specialize in treating female sex and love addiction. It has been an exhilerating weekend of creative ideas coming together to form a standard of care for women who struggle with these painful and challenging problems.
By the end of the weekend tangible tasks and important goals were put into motion, one of which is a book that will assist mental health professionals in providing the best care for female sex and love addicts.
Stay tuned for more details of what was accomplished as these tasks, surveys, articles, and books come to fruition.
If you are a woman who struggles with these issues and are interested in participating in an anonymous, on-line survey for the purposes of collecting research information, please contact me at info@centerforhealthysex.com.

Time to take a stand for your own personal truth and time to reclaim your life. If you’re waiting for “someday” then make that day today because the sun is setting somewhere in the world and life is short!
Are you, or someone you know, a love addict? Are you constantly waiting for others to fill your needs in order to feel good? Do you fantasize endlessly about the “happily ever after story?” Love addict’s are always waiting for “the one” yet are never able to stick with just one. Sex Addiction Los Angeles
