Therapy for Men, Porn Addiction, and Anxiety in Hillsborough, NJ

Even Capable Men Can Get Stuck

You’ve worked so hard to cut out pornography and stop unwanted sexual behaviors. But despite real effort, the pattern keeps repeating—and it’s costing you confidence, connection, and stability.

And for many men in Hillsborough, the fight shows up in other ways: stress, anxiety, anger, disappointment. On paper, life looks fine. In reality, there’s a growing gap between how you’re functioning and how you want to be showing up—as a man, a partner, and a professional.

This isn’t a character flaw. At Proven Path Counseling, we identify what’s really going on and work through it with clinical precision.

Serving Hillsborough

Hillsborough blends quiet neighborhoods with drive and ambition—a township filled with professionals, families, and business owners who value excellence and hard work. Yet beneath that steadiness, many men quietly shoulder pressure that never lets up.

Whether you’re managing projects along Route 206, commuting toward Bridgewater or Princeton, spending weekends at Duke Farms, or unwinding with your family in nearby Belle Mead or Montgomery, life here demands composure and consistency. But strength doesn’t need to mean isolation.

Proven Path Counseling offers discreet, high-quality therapy for men who want to engage fully with their lives again—serving Hillsborough, Belle Mead, Montgomery, Bridgewater, and the greater Somerset County area.

Why Men Choose Proven Path Counseling

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

I’m Peter Ruffini, LPC—an award-winning psychotherapist with advanced training in CBT, EMDR, 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, or a growing sense of disconnection. Many have tried therapy before and found it too passive. My approach goes deeper, targeting the drivers underneath the cycle—shame, perfectionism, and long-standing beliefs—and rebuilding a foundation of healthy manhood, discipline, and purpose from the inside out.

That’s why men seek out Proven Path first—and why other therapists in Hillsborough and Somerset County trust us with clients facing pornography struggles, anxiety, and the deeper issues unique to men.
