About us

Novus Mindful Life Institute Family Counseling & Recovery Center is a specialized counseling practice dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families heal from the impact of sex addiction, compulsive sexual behavior, betrayal trauma, and infidelity. Our team provides compassionate, straightforward, and recovery-focused care in a confidential setting. With a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and other specialized clinicians, we understand both the complexity of out-of-control sexual behavior and the profound pain experienced by partners and families. We work with all sides of the system – those struggling with behaviors they cannot manage on their own, and those who have been hurt by secrecy, lies, and broken trust. Grounded in trauma-informed and attachment-based principles, we help clients stabilize crises, understand the roots of their patterns, and develop clear boundaries and practical coping tools. We value collaboration and transparency, working at a steady, manageable pace that respects each person’s readiness and safety. From our office in Garden Grove and through secure telehealth across California, we offer counseling, crisis counseling, mediation, and specialized therapy for sex addiction and betrayal trauma. Our goal is to support you in rebuilding emotional safety, restoring integrity, and creating relationships and lives that feel more honest, connected, and resilient.

Approach

Guided by a family-centered recovery focus, we shape therapy to be steady, practical, and attuned to everyday life. Sessions flow at a pace you set, in English or Spanish, in Garden Grove or through secure telehealth, with attention to immediate needs and ongoing patterns. We use collaborative problem-mapping, focused interventions, mediation tools when relationships are involved, and concrete steps between meetings so progress carries into your week. Those seeking clear, confidential, solution-focused support tend to find this way of working helpful.
