What Others Have to Say About Hope & Freedom University:

"It was a wonderful experience. Very emotional, extremely exhausting (mostly emotionally), and very helpful in identifying my own personal recovery needs. It was also extremely enlightening for me [in] regard to my husband's recovery needs. In previous counseling experiences I have been left out of my husband's recovery completely. Being involved and understanding his recovery process helped me feel closer to him…. This was a turning point in my own journey."

- RM, Healing Partner

"I'm looking forward to the 3 month check in. I see it like a random drug screen- with which I am well familiar. Once I figured out just how sick I was, those kept me safe from myself for 5 years. Once I was able to get it figured out, like training wheels, I can navigate through life without alcohol. When I finished my dental board probation period I heard of other guys who relapsed and they were tested in their offices immediately. That's how I see the check ins. That kind of accountability is very helpful for me. I can see coming back for years to come (if not for a lifetime). [My wife] said she no longer feels like she has to sleep with one eye open. It was exhausting."

- PC, Recovering Addict

"[What helped me most was] understanding how the brain and chemicals in the brain work for addiction ... and normal people. [The Intensive was] very emotional and mentally draining but also helped me see my addiction from my wife's perspective, feel a spiritual renewal also, very anxious to come back and be sober for 3 months." 

- LJ, Recovering Addict

"[The Intensive] was wonderful to be able to be open and unafraid and to be heard and understood. It felt like a very safe place where surgery on the heart could take place. To be able to have someone look underneath the cesspool of our life and flush it out in the open was painfully good. I did not want to leave and go back into the real world and try to figure out how to move forward alone. It was a very good experience for me. Thank you for the work you do. It is a wonderful ministry and I will be forever grateful for being able to learn under you."

- FD,Healing Partner

"This was life transforming for my marriage. I think that while we may not have had the level of severity in terms of our issues as some couples, I was at a point of feeling like we needed something dramatic to get us on track. Your program was certainly that! It was like rebooting a computer, scrubbing it and reinstalling the programs after being infected with a virus."

- LG, Recovering Addict

Welcome to Hope and Freedom University — let me tell you how we began…

In late 2012, a deeply discouraged couple came into my office after being told by a different therapist they should walk away and divorce because their marriage was likely irreparable. At the time, they didn't even know the term sex addiction. Candidly, it was a relatively new term for me as well. 

That led me to find Dr. Milton Magness and his practice, Hope and Freedom Counseling Services in Houston, TX. We quickly inquired about the 3-Day Intensive option with a long-term program approach. I offered to walk alongside them and support them in their journey if they were open to making a commitment to the program.

Treating this couple became a defining moment in my practice. In fact, it spawned the treatment of hundreds more in my office and the desire to devote my practice to helping couples like them. 

Through my practice, I go with couples and individuals into the darkest places, find a source of hope and light, and guide people on their journey to healing and wholeness. I’ve dedicated my career to bringing restoration to couples ravaged by the effects of sexual addiction and training clinicians to do the same — so we can reach as many as possible!

As soon as I found Hope & Freedom and Milton Magness, I knew this treatment model was different and something that offered real hope and true freedom to couples whose relationships were at risk of complete devastation. 

Over the years, I have used this treatment model and have seen hundreds of couples not just salvage their relationship but, in many cases,  heal, find restoration, and develop a closeness they weren’t sure was possible. 

You deserve hope and freedom, too — because it’ll bring healing and restoration for you. Perhaps one day, you too will be able to share it with others and experience the gift of introducing it to those in need the way I have.

Wondering how to know if you have a problem? Ask yourself these questions:

  1. Do you struggle when trying to stop and find you can't? Not sure? Try to stop for seven days and see how hard it is. 
  2. Do you hurt people you love with your behavior but keep doing it anyway? Has anyone you loved ever expressed concern? 
  3. Do you hide your behaviors because if others knew, you would feel bad?
