Therapy for Men, Porn Addiction, and Anxiety in Westfield, NJ
Trusted, Award-Winning, Specialized Therapy with Proven Results
Even Capable Men Can Get Stuck
By the time you’re reading this, the issue isn’t whether pornography or unwanted sexual behaviors are a problem—you already know they are. What’s harder to ignore is how out of place they feel in a life where you’re otherwise disciplined, responsible, and capable. That mismatch starts to wear on you in ways that are difficult to explain but impossible to dismiss.
For many high-achieving men in Westfield, the issue isn’t ambition or productivity. You’re capable, disciplined, and used to performing at a high level. What often goes unaddressed are the other struggles that surface—anxiety, irritability, and disconnection. And even with a strong career, family, and reputation, you’re functioning on autopilot—showing up, but not fully engaged.
At Proven Path Counseling, this work is approached directly and deliberately. We focus on the psychological and emotional factors that keep these patterns in place and address them with clinical precision. The goal isn’t to help you cope with the issue better—it’s to resolve what’s driving it so you no longer have to manage it indefinitely.
Serving the Westfield Community
Westfield is full of men who are used to being dependable. You handle your responsibilities, show up for your family, and take pride in doing things the right way. That mindset works in most areas of life—and it’s part of why others rely on you.
Between demanding roles, commuting along Route 22 or the Midtown Direct line, raising a family near Mindowaskin Park, and managing everything that comes with home life, the expectation is simple: keep things running. Most men here do. But there isn’t much space to deal with what builds up internally when something isn’t lining up.
Proven Path Counseling works with men in Westfield and surrounding communities like Cranford, Scotch Plains, Mountainside, and across Union County. The work is private, focused, and built for men who are ready to address what they’ve been carrying—directly, without surface-level fixes.

Why Men Choose Proven Path Counseling
Not all therapy is created equal. Proven Path Counseling was built for men and high-achieving adults in Westfield who want focused, strategic work—not passive conversations that never lead anywhere. This is structured, evidence-based therapy that supports real, lasting results.
I’m Peter Ruffini, LPC—an award-winning psychotherapist and clinical supervisor with advanced training in CBT, EMDR, trauma treatment, and sexual-addiction recovery. For more than a decade, I’ve helped men overcome pornography and sexual compulsivity, anxiety, chronic stress, and the slow slide from confidence into isolation—restoring integrity, focus, and the foundation of strong manhood.
The men who come here are capable, driven, and accomplished—but stuck in patterns that won’t break on their own. Many have tried therapy before and found it too broad or too passive. My approach goes deeper—addressing the underlying drivers and rebuilding strength, discipline, and direction from the inside out.
That’s why men across Westfield, Cranford, and the Union County area seek out Proven Path first—and why other therapists trust us with clients facing pornography struggles, anxiety, and the deeper issues unique to men.
