Therapeutic Consultations for Sex Addiction & Betrayal Trauma

This degree blends theology and psychology, grounding Tina’s work in both spiritual and clinical principles. It reflects her ability to integrate faith and mental health in a way that honors each client’s beliefs while maintaining professional, evidence-based care.

This license designates Tina as a state-certified clinical mental health counselor who is also qualified to supervise other therapists. It recognizes her advanced training, years of clinical experience, and leadership in mentoring emerging clinicians in ethical, effective counseling practice.

A Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) is a clinician specially trained through IITAP to assess and treat compulsive sexual behavior, pornography addiction, betrayal trauma, and the broader family of behavioral addictions that often accompany them—such as gambling, gaming, spending, or digital compulsions. This certification signals that Tina understands the neurobiology of addiction, the trauma patterns that drive it, and the step-by-step process of lasting recovery for both individuals and couples.

The “S” in CSAT-S designates a Supervisor—someone who has completed IITAP’s highest level of training and is credentialed to mentor and oversee other clinicians pursuing CSAT certification. Earning this level requires years of advanced clinical experience, additional coursework, supervised practice, and demonstrated mastery of IITAP’s treatment framework.

This certification focuses on helping partners who have experienced betrayal trauma caused by sexual addiction. It means Tina is specifically trained to guide betrayed partners toward safety, stabilization, and healing—and as a supervisor (“S”), she trains and supports other therapists in this specialized field.

A Certified Couples Betrayal Recovery Therapist (CCBRT) is specially trained through IITAP to help couples heal after the devastation of infidelity or betrayal. This certification has equipped Tina to understand both the trauma of betrayal and the complex dynamics of rebuilding trust, safety, and intimacy. CCBRT therapists use proven tools and structured recovery models designed specifically for couples in crisis, helping you move from chaos and confusion toward stability, understanding, and renewed connection.

A CMAT is a professional trained through IITAP to recognize and address all the addictions a person may be struggling with—not just the one that shows up first. Because many people dealing with addiction actually have more than one (like alcohol, porn, gambling, spending, gaming, or food), a CMAT helps clients get a clearer picture of what’s really going on and creates a more complete plan for lasting recovery. This means faster progress, fewer setbacks, and support that fits the whole person.

As President and Executive Director of Hope & Freedom and Head CHFP, Tina has completed advanced training through the Hope & Freedom Institute to facilitate 3-Day Intensives for individuals and couples dealing with sex addiction and betrayal trauma. This certification combines intensive therapy methods with clinical expertise and compassionate, structured healing.
