Therapy for Men, Porn Addiction, and Anxiety in Summit, NJ
Trusted, Award-Winning, Specialized Therapy with Proven Results
Even Capable Men Can Get Stuck
By the time you’re searching for help, porn isn’t just something you “struggle with.” It’s something you hide. You clear your history. You compartmentalize. You tell yourself it’s contained—but the shame follows you anyway. It’s not just the behavior—it’s the growing fear that something in you is broken, or that real change might not be possible.
And for many men in Summit, the struggle hides beneath success. High-achieving professionals, business owners, and fathers often feel the pressure to perform, stay composed, and hold everything together. Anxiety, disconnection, self-doubt, or irritability that can shift to anger or withdrawal. Even with a strong career and solid home life, you know something has to change—because the way you’re living isn’t sustainable..
Proven Path Counseling works with men in Summit who are tired of managing this quietly. We focus on the underlying drivers that keep porn and unwanted behaviors in place—rather than chasing symptoms or relying on motivation alone. The goal is not surface-level improvement, but meaningful change that can hold up under the demands of real careers, real marriages, and real pressure.
Serving the Summit Community
Summit is a town built on excellence—top schools, high-performing professionals, and families who value discipline, integrity, and hard work. But with that culture comes pressure many men carry in silence.
Whether you’re commuting daily from Summit Station, building your career between NYC and the Short Hills corridor, talking about business ideas at the Summit Diner on Springfield Ave, or trying to balance leadership, family, and expectations, life here demands composure. Even strong men hit limits.
Proven Path Counseling offers discreet, high-quality therapy for men who want to live with purpose, integrity, and calm — serving Summit, Short Hills, Chatham, New Providence, and the greater Union County area.

Why Men Choose Proven Path Counseling
Not all therapy is created equal. Proven Path Counseling was built for men and high-achieving adults who want focused, practical, results-driven work—not vague conversations that circle the real issue. This is structured, strategic therapy designed to support lasting change.
I’m Peter Ruffini, LPC—an award-winning psychotherapist with advanced training in CBT, EMDR, trauma recovery, and sexual-addiction treatment. For more than a decade, I’ve helped men push past pornography and sexual compulsivity, anxiety, chronic stress, and the quiet slide from confidence and connection into isolation—rebuilding integrity, freedom, and strength from the inside out.
The men who come here are capable, driven, and successful in many areas of life, yet stuck in patterns that won’t break. Many have tried therapy before and found it too passive. My approach goes deeper—working through the underlying drivers and rebuilding the discipline, identity, and purpose that anchor real change.
That’s why men across Summit and Union County seek out Proven Path first—and why other therapists trust us with clients facing pornography struggles, anxiety, and the deeper issues unique to men.
