Chris Simon, LPC, CSAT-S | Sex Addiction & Sex Therapist in Rogers, AR

As a clinical sexologist and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) in Rogers, Arkansas, my work sits at the intersection of sexual health and sexual dysfunction. I bring the same clinical rigor to helping someone build a healthy sexual life as I do to helping them recover from a destructive one.

My framework is grounded in attachment and family systems theory. I believe compulsive or addictive sexual behavior is a poor solution to a deeper problem, not the problem itself. That same lens applies to sexual dysfunction, disconnection, and shame. Underneath almost all of it is the same question: what does a healthy, integrated relationship with your own sexuality look like for you?

My role isn’t to hand down answers. It’s to guide clients toward the questions they don’t yet know to ask — questions that lead them to their own answers. Whether I’m working with someone recovering from destructive sexual patterns, an individual or couple rebuilding their sexual connection, or training other clinicians in this work throughout Northwest Arkansas, the goal is the same: move beyond the surface, find the core driver, address that wound or need, and support you in building health. Years spent teaching other clinicians has taught me how to make complex, often uncomfortable material feel approachable — and I bring that same directness into the room.

I believe everyone is trying to find their way to a healthy sexuality. Some people just don’t know it yet.

Who I Love Working With

I love working with clients seeking to understand themselves, to understand why they make the choices they do, so they can build a healthy life for themselves. Often this means recovering from destructive sexual behaviors or experiences: learning from what happened, discovering who they want to be, and becoming that person with support along the way.

A Bit More About Me

Outside the office, you’ll find me outside most of the time. We live on a small homestead in Northwest Arkansas. Between raising two boys, tending the chickens and gardens, or woodworking in my shop, I enjoy working with my hands in my free time.

This shows up in how I work with clients, seek to understand the core issue, then find practical applications to make real change. I believe in spending the necessary time to build something that lasts.
