My Next Guest Itiyopiya Ewart, MSW, LCSW, ASAT, is an Associate Sex Addiction Therapist who works with individuals navigating chronic stress, compulsive sexual behaviors, pornography use, secrecy, shame, and the emotional patterns that often sit beneath them. Her approach blends somatic therapy with evidence-informed clinical practices, helping clients better understand the connection between past experiences, internal distress, core beliefs, and present-day behavior. Her work focuses not only on changing patterns, but on helping people develop greater emotional steadiness, self-awareness, accountability, and trust in themselves. Grounded in a healing-as-justice framework, Itiyopiya creates space for the complexity of each person’s experience while encouraging honesty, stability, and personal alignment. Her work recognizes that meaningful healing requires both compassion and accountability, particularly when shame and secrecy have become part of someone’s story. With a Master of Social Work and specialized training in sex addiction therapy, Itiyopiya brings a clinically grounded, thoughtful, and deeply human perspective to conversations about sexuality, behavior, trauma, shame, relationships, and what it means to build a healthier relationship with ourselves.
