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. Ebenezer Counseling Services 865-670-0988 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.
