Our Mission: Supporting Families in Addressing Teen Pornography Use
At Therapy Associates, our mission is to empower parents and guardians with the knowledge, resources, and support needed to navigate the complex and sensitive issue of adolescent pornography use. In today’s digital age, the widespread accessibility of explicit media and the increasing potency of online pornography have created unprecedented challenges for families. Many parents find themselves grappling with the difficult task of addressing their child’s exposure to or habitual use of pornography, often feeling uncertain about how to approach these conversations or where to seek help.
Research indicates that the majority of pornography and sexual addictions begin during adolescence, a critical developmental period. Unfortunately, many individuals do not seek treatment until adulthood, when these behaviors have become deeply entrenched and more challenging to address. Our organization is dedicated to breaking this cycle by providing early intervention resources, evidence-based guidance, and compassionate support for families. We aim to equip parents with the tools to foster open communication, promote healthy boundaries, and guide their children toward positive decision-making. Additionally, we offer resources for teens to understand the impacts of pornography and develop strategies for overcoming unhealthy habits.
Through educational programs, counseling referrals, and community support, Therapy Associates strives to create a safe and nonjudgmental space for families to address these issues. Our goal is to reduce the stigma surrounding adolescent pornography use, encourage early intervention, and empower families to build stronger, healthier relationships. Together, we can help young people navigate the challenges of the digital world and foster a future grounded in respect, self-awareness, and emotional well-being.
