Sex Addiction Treatment - About Ginnie & Paul Hartman

Ginnie holds the professional designation of Licensed Professional Counselor. Ginnie graduated from Western Michigan University with a BA in Education and a MA in Counseling Psychology. Ginnie developed a passion for helping the spouses or partners of addicts early in her career while working with Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse at Onsite and later at The Betty Ford Center.  She often refers to spouses of addicts as "the neglected majority".  She knows that partners cannot simply standby and wait for the addict to recover.  They need their own support.  After years of training with some of the world’s leading authorities on addiction as a family disease, Ginnie has become nationally recognized as an expert in helping partners or spouses. She works from a foundation of spirituality, a codependency model developed by Pia Mellody at The Meadows along with her own unique style developed with over 30 years experience.

Paul holds the professional designation of Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. He earned his M.S. at Fuller Theological Seminary where he attended both the School of Theology and the School of Psychology. He has trained with the most prominent addiction therapists and researchers in the country including Pia Mellody, Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse, and Patrick Carnes. He specialized in addiction treatment throughout his career focusing on sex addiction for the past 20 years. Paul no longer sees clients in private practice. He works exclusively in the workshop or intensive model. Paul offers workshops in Michigan, Florida, throughout North America, and the United Kingdom.  His treatment methods build on 12-Step self help including spirituality, plus the latest professional methods especially those developed by Pia Mellody at The Meadows.

Ginnie and Paul work together to treat couples impacted by the pain of addiction. They bring together a combination of personal experience and clinical expertise that enables them to help individuals and couples who sometimes saw themselves as hopeless.
