Jay Stringer

Jay Stringer is a therapist, minister, and researcher who guides people to freedom from unwanted sexual behavior (the use of pornography, infidelity, buying sex) by helping them to understand the unique reasons that bring them to it in the first place.

His first book, Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing is based on a multi-year research project on over 3,800 men and women. The research showed that unwanted sexual behavior is not random. It is both shaped and predicted by the parts of our story that remain unaddressed. The research is one of the most comprehensive studies on the subject and Stringer is hopeful it will equip people to find freedom in a way they have not been equipped before.

He holds an MDiv and master in counseling psychology from the Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. He has also received post-graduate training under Dr. Patrick Carnes and Dr. Dan Allender while serving as a Senior Fellow at the Allender Center.

He lives in Seattle, Washington with his wife and two children. He'd love to surf far more than he does.
