Therapy for Men, Porn Addiction, and Anxiety in Basking Ridge, NJ

Even Capable Men Can Get Stuck

You’ve tried to stop over and over—setting rules, installing apps, starting fresh—but pornography and unwanted sexual behaviors keep resurfacing. The shame wears you down. The broken promises add up. You want to break free, but you’re not sure how.

And for many men in Basking Ridge, the struggle doesn’t stay confined to one behavior. It shows up by shutting loved ones out, constant pressure, irritability, and a mind that never shuts off—often even when everything looks stable from the outside.

This doesn’t mean you lack willpower or discipline. These patterns persist because something deeper is driving them. At Proven Path Counseling, we identify those drivers and address them directly—so you can be present and engaged in your life again.

Serving Basking Ridge

There’s a quiet strength that defines life in Basking Ridge and Warren—families who work hard, lead well, and value excellence. You see it in the morning commutes down I-78 and Route 287, the calm neighborhoods tucked between Bernards Township and the Somerset Hills area, the downtown coffee shops, and the many golf courses and parks.

But even in stable environments, many men carry their own private battles—the stress, the expectation to stay steady. When that weight builds, some turn to escapes: pornography, work, anger, or emotional distance.

As a therapist specializing in men’s issues and sexual-addiction recovery, I understand that tension. My work is private, direct, and focused on helping men live with integrity and purpose. Proven Path Counseling provides focused, high-quality therapy for men and professionals across Somerset County—including Basking Ridge, Warren, Bernardsville, Watchung, and Bedminster. Whether you’re a leader, a father, or a husband, you don’t have to carry the weight alone.

Why Men Choose Proven Path Counseling

Not all therapy is created equal. Proven Path Counseling is built for men who want focused, practical, and effective work—not passive conversations that circle the issue. This is structured, results-driven therapy designed to support lasting change.

I’m Peter Ruffini, LPC—an award-winning psychotherapist with advanced training in CBT, EMDR, evidence-based trauma treatments, and sexual-addiction recovery. For more than a decade, I’ve helped men move beyond pornography and sexual compulsivity, anxiety, chronic stress, and the slow drift from confidence to isolation—rebuilding integrity, focus, and strength at the core.

The men who come here are capable but stuck—whether the struggle is unwanted sexual behavior, anxiety, pressure, irritability, burnout, or a growing sense of disconnect. Many have tried therapy before and found it too passive or unstructured. My approach goes deeper—identifying the drivers beneath the cycle—and rebuilding healthy manhood, discipline, and purpose from the inside out.

That’s why men across Basking Ridge, Bernards Township, and Somerset County turn to Proven Path first—and why other therapists trust us with clients navigating pornography struggles, anxiety, and the complex challenges unique to men. Proven Path is where real and lasting change can happen—rooted in expertise, deep work, and a clear path forward.

Specialized Therapy Services

At Proven Path Counseling, I can treat anything a generalist can—but I’ve chosen to go deeper, specializing in a few key areas through focused, results-driven care:

• Porn & Sex Addiction Therapy: Break free from compulsive patterns and rebuild confidence, self-control, and peace of mind.

• Therapy for Men: Direct, results-driven work that helps men master emotions, restore connection, and rediscover the core of healthy manhood.

• Therapy for High-Achieving Adults: Support for professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders managing high expectations, hidden pressure, perfectionism, or burnout.

You’ll get the tools, insight, and accountability you’ve been missing—evidence-based, trauma-informed, and focused on lasting transformation, not temporary relief.
