What kinds of clients do you work with?

We assist individuals seeking to overcome compulsive sexual behaviors, including sex or pornography addiction, sexual abuse, trauma, and sexually offensive behaviors. We also support partners and parents affected by these issues. Clients arrive voluntarily, by referral, or through legal or court mandates. All clients are treated with respect and confidentiality.

 

Is Gruber Counseling a safe place to discuss difficult or taboo topics?

Absolutely! We create a warm, welcoming space where clients always feel unconditionally accepted and at ease to explore what might have been hidden, avoided, or left unsaid. Whether you’re facing shame, fear, legal concerns, or simply unsure of how to start, we're here to support you with kindness, understanding, and genuine care. Your recovery, emotional safety, and well-being are our priority.

 

What states are you licensed in?

We are licensed to provide clinical therapy in New York, New Jersey, and Florida. If you live outside those states—or outside the U.S.—services are provided through the scope of Recovery Support Services. 

 

What are Recovery Support Services?

Recovery Support Services are for clients who want structured, professional guidance but are in locations where I’m not licensed to practice therapy. These services are non-clinical; therefore, a formal diagnosis, superbill, legal letters, or official reports cannot be provided. 

​

Instead, our work centers on accountability, education, skill-building, relapse prevention, and ongoing behavioral support. The process is still structured and goal-oriented, just without the clinical documentation that comes with therapy.

 

Do you accept insurance?

Gruber Counseling, Licensed Clinical Social Work, P.C. is an out-of-network provider, so we do not bill insurance directly. Instead, we offer a superbill, which is a detailed receipt of billable services you can submit for insurance reimbursement. At the beginning of each month, a superbill for the previous month is uploaded to your secure client portal, allowing you to submit it to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

 

Do you offer a sliding fee or a discounted rate?

If you are facing financial difficulties and require our services, please don’t be shy to ask about our scholarship program and Single Case Agreements.

 

Do you work with non-religious clients or those from different faith backgrounds?

Yes. We serve clients from diverse backgrounds, regardless of their faith, religious affiliation, or level of adherence. Jews, Christians, Catholics, Muslims; religious, secular, rebellious, or agnostic, all feel comfortable. We are dedicated to supporting your personal growth in a way that aligns with your authentic self, regardless of who you are.

 

Will you report past illegal behavior?

Mandated reporting laws vary by state. In many states, past illegal sexual acts—such as historical child sexual abuse by a caregiver—may not require reporting if the victim, now an adult, poses no current risk, and the conduct involved child sexual abuse material or viewing child pornography. However, this is not true in all states.

 

Since reporting requirements vary, we advise clients to consult an attorney if they are unsure. When necessary, we will work with our legal team and, if needed, your attorney, to ensure compliance with the law while creating a safe environment for honesty, addressing harmful behaviors, and focusing on lasting change.

 

Do you require your clients to attend 12-Step meetings?

No, while some therapists require mandatory 12-Step participation, our experience shows that forcing clients into a 12-Step program isn't always effective. Recovery varies for each individual, and insisting on a single approach can sometimes lead to resistance rather than progress.

 

That said, 12-Step programs such as Sexaholics Anonymous (SA) can be highly effective for many people. They offer—what Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) refers to—"A New Design for Living,” structured peer support, clear guidelines for behavior change, and a sense of community with others who understand your struggles. 

 

Are your sessions in person or online?

At Gruber Counseling, we offer both in-person and teletherapy sessions, selecting the treatment format best suited to your unique healing process and individual needs.​
