About Jay Stringer

Jay Stringer is a licensed therapist, minister, and researcher who guides men and women to understand and outgrow unwanted behaviors.

Stringer's award-winning first book Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing is based on a multiyear research project on over 3,800 men and women. The research showed that unwanted sexual behaviors like the use of porn or extra-marital affairs are not random. These behaviors were both shaped and predicted by the parts of our story that remain unaddressed. The implication is that if you want to find freedom, you need to identify that unique reasons that bring you to it in the first place. Sexual difficulties are not a life sentence to shame, they are a roadmap to healing.

In addition to Unwanted, Stringer created the Sexual Behavior Self-Assessment (https://sexualbehaviorassessment.com/) and The Journey Course, a 5-month course the guides participants to identify and transform the key drivers of their unwanted behaviors.

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

Jay lives in New York City with his wife Heather and their two children.

“Without rival, the best book on broken sexuality I have ever read.” —Dan B. Allender, PhD

Many of us feel ashamed and undesirable after years of sexual brokenness and addiction. The guilt and stigma surrounding sexual struggles can paralyze us and keep us from seeking help and healing. Author Jay Stringer approaches these sensitive subjects with gentleness and understanding.

Based on original research from over 3,800 men and women, Unwanted is a groundbreaking resource that explores the “why” behind self-destructive sexual choices in order to help readers work towards freedom. Addressing difficult issues with compassionate insight, this book discusses:

Abandonment and broken relationships
Trauma and sexual abuse
The sex industry and pornography
Violence against women
Learning to love and care for yourself
Healthy conflict and repair in your relationships
Investing in community
Creating healthy boundaries

A perfect resource for those seeking self-help or those working to minister to the sexually broken people around them, Unwanted offers life-changing, practical guidance rooted in clinical evidence to light the way on a path to wholeness.
