Brandon Buhler

I am a Certified Problematic Sex Behavior Therapist (CSAT), which means that I have received extensive specialized training in the treatment of those struggling with problematic sexual behaviors and their family. The CSAT training is based on the decades of research completed by Patrick Carnes, the foremost in treatment and research.  I believe that treating all affected members of the family is crucial for successful, long-term recovery and freedom from the effects of problematic sexual behavior.  I use individual, couples, and group treatments to provide the best possible outcome.  

As a marriage and family therapist I am uniquely qualified to assess and treat individuals, couples, and families that are experiencing unhappiness and pain, including in their relationships with each other. I view individuals as being a part of a larger system (marriages, families, friendships, etc.) and am specially trained to draw on the strengths of these systems.  I realize that individuals, couples, and families are not isolated from what occurs around them, allowing them to utilize more resources to assist those seeking treatment.

I have been working therapeutically with individuals, couples, and families since 2005. I have worked in various settings that include residential, home-based, and outpatient treatment.  My experience includes work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples.  I have been treating pornography and problematic  sexual behaviors at Centerpoint Counseling since 2014, although my interest in treating this population started before I was in graduate school.
