About the Practice

Professional Background

Olivia Rosenzweig is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) specializing in the treatment of sex addiction, compulsive sexual behavior, betrayal trauma, and relational healing in New York City. With extensive training in trauma-informed care, attachment-based approaches, and psychodynamic methodology, Olivia provides structured, evidence-based psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and groups navigating the complexities of sexual compulsivity and its impact on relationships.

Her clinical work is rooted in a psychodynamic approach that understands sex addiction and compulsive sexual behavior as often emerging from underlying attachment wounds, developmental trauma, and nervous system dysregulation. This perspective informs a treatment approach that emphasizes safety, containment, and the restoration of authentic relational capacity.

Olivia's practice serves adults throughout New York State via secure telehealth, offering specialized services including individual therapy for sex addiction, couples counseling, formal disclosure facilitation, and support for partners affected by betrayal trauma.

Therapeutic Philosophy

Olivia believes that all people possess an innate capacity for change, and that lasting recovery emerges when clients feel safe enough to confront shame, process trauma, and rebuild authentic connections.

She approaches therapy with clinical rigor and human warmth, creating a therapeutic environment where clients can explore difficult truths without judgment. Whether working with individuals struggling with sex addiction or compulsive behavior, partners navigating betrayal trauma, or couples seeking to rebuild trust, Olivia's commitment is to provide structured, ethical, and deeply respectful care.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration, transparency, and the recognition that recovery is not a linear path but a process of ongoing growth and self-discovery.

My Approach

Treatment is structured around CSAT-informed principles for addressing sex addiction and compulsive sexual behavior. The practice integrates psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and relational approaches within a trauma-informed framework that recognizes the role of early attachment, developmental disruption, and nervous system dysregulation in compulsive patterns.

Clinical work is conducted within clear therapeutic boundaries. Treatment planning is collaborative and emphasizes consistent structure, accountability, and the gradual development of internal regulation. Sessions are designed to provide containment and reduce shame while maintaining appropriate clinical distance.

The practice draws from established therapeutic modalities including psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, attachment-based approaches, and group-based treatment models. Clinical interventions are selected based on individual presentation and treatment goals.

Commitment to Ongoing Development

Olivia maintains an active commitment to professional development through ongoing training, consultation, and supervision. She regularly engages in continuing education to stay current with emerging research and best practices in the treatment of sex addiction, compulsive sexual behavior, and trauma.
