The Sexual Addiction Treatment and Training Institute

What The Sexual Addiction Treatment and Training Institute does

The Sexual Addiction Treatment and Training Institute (SATTI) is a privately held, for-profit clinical practice founded in 1994 in New York City that specializes in treating sex addiction, porn addiction, and the underlying childhood trauma and neglect the practice identifies as the root drivers of compulsive sexual behavior. Its service portfolio centers on a proprietary trauma-based program called 'From the Roots to the Recovery: The Mosaic of Sexual Addiction,' delivered through individual psychotherapy, ongoing and 6-week small-group therapy (The Roots Group, $1,200 per cohort via Zoom), 5- and 10-day in-person intensive outpatient programs at the NYC headquarters, couples and marital therapy (including 3-day couples retreats), family therapy, and specialized betrayal-trauma treatment for partners. The clinical approach combines traditional psychotherapy with experiential and expressive modalities such as psychodrama, EMDR, art therapy, movement therapy, somatic experiencing, and adjunctive aromatherapy and acupuncture.

SATTI generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service professional therapy and subscription-style group programs priced per cohort, with pricing adjusted for need and some insurance reimbursement available; only the Roots Group's $1,200 price point is publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, relying on direct phone inquiries, professional referrals from individual therapists and inpatient facilities, 12-Step/S-Anon/Al-Anon community pathways, and an employer consultation channel for corporate training on compulsive sexual harassment. With 1-10 employees, no external funding, no parent company, and no M&A activity, SATTI operates as a niche independent practice that has reached clients nationwide and internationally since adding teletherapy in the 2020s, with no acquisitions, partnerships, or product launches beyond organic clinical and corporate-training extensions.

Broad incumbents

• BetterHelp: Large-scale online therapy platform offering general teletherapy across many specialties. Comparable to SATTI's teletherapy delivery model, though BetterHelp serves broad demand while SATTI specializes in addiction/trauma.
• Caron Treatment Centers: Large nonprofit addiction treatment provider offering specialized sexual addiction programs alongside broader substance use services. Comparable as a behavioral addiction treatment provider with established brand, though operating nationally at a far larger scale.
• Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: Major national addiction treatment organization that addresses behavioral addictions including compulsive sexual behavior. Overlaps with SATTI in trauma-informed addiction treatment philosophy and Twelve-Step integration, though focused primarily on substance use.
• The Ranch Tennessee: Residential and outpatient treatment center with specialized sexual addiction program and trauma-focused care. Comparable in trauma-resolution philosophy and addiction specialization, but operates at larger residential scale.
• Pine Grove Behavioral Health: Mississippi-based behavioral health provider with specialized programs including sexual addiction and process addictions. Operates at significantly larger scale and broader behavioral health portfolio, but overlaps with SATTI's addiction treatment specialization.
