Restoring Integrity is a recovery group for men overcoming sexual addiction.
The mission of Restoring Integrity at Ebenezer Counseling
Services (ECS) is to promote spiritual transformation in men who are
recovering from sexual addiction in a confidential environment through
relational support, accountability, and education. Groups meet weekly, and
most group members are recovering from addiction to
pornography, the aftermath of extra-marital affairs, or face other painful
sexual struggles. Meetings are closed, and members pay a fee
to participate. In return they receive confidential attention in a professional
environment where they learn more about themselves and
build relationships with others who can relate to their issues. Restoring
Integrity groups are led by experienced group members or trained
therapists, and these group facilitators are supervised by Dr. Dan Sartor, a
Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Nationally Certified Counselor.

Restoring Integrity
Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin… restore him gently (Gal. 6:1)
Since 1998, Ebenezer Counseling Services has provided recovery groups for
Christian men was formerly known as Faithful and True of Knoxville. Restoring
Integrity has grown out of Faithful and True of Knoxville, and we have
changed our name simply to avoid confusion for those familiar with Dr. Mark
Laaser’s national-level group program by the same name.
Who participates in the meetings?
Restoring Integrity addresses the spiritual aspects of change and addiction
recovery from the perspective of historical, biblical Christianity. However,
membership is open to all men who seek genuine change in their behaviors and
lifestyle, regardless of their religious affiliation. Because Restoring Integrity
places an emphasis on building transforming relationships, regular attendance
and participation in meetings are critical. Also, because vulnerable confession
with each other is necessary to break the chains of guilt and shame, members
must be honest and open about past and present issues regarding sexual
struggles and temptations.
Who should consider joining?
Those who are:
seeking inner transformation and a change in their addictive behavior and
struggles with temptation
currently working with a therapist or pastor and need group support and
feedback
desiring intimate fellowship and camaraderie that provides support through
tough times
developing healthy intimacy with others
Members receive:
accountability and encouragement toward purity and strength in their thought
life and behavioral habits
honest feedback from others in a non-judgmental and accepting spirit
support from others dealing with issues often avoided in Christian circles
resources on sexual addiction issues
renewed hope, peace, and intimacy again!
Group sessions are 1½ hours in duration and meet on Monday evenings, early
Thursday mornings, or early Friday mornings. A new group just for college
students is now being facilitated by ECS therapist David White, M.A. All
members are screened prior to joining a group since this is a closed
environment with a significant emphasis placed on confidentiality for all group
members. When unable to attend meetings, members must contact their
facilitator in advance.
Fees:
Members pay at the first meeting of the month for the entire month of group
sessions. The fee for each session is $25 and is non-refundable regardless of
absences. Initial screenings are scheduled with Dr. Dan Sartor for a $60 fee.
