Tony Overbay is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (CA LMFT#92443), a Certified Mindful Habit Coach (CMHC), and a popular motivational speaker. Tony spent a decade in the computer industry before following his passion to go back to school, and become a marriage and family therapist. Tony has been the founder or co-founder of companies in the computer hardware, industrial fastener, and personal grooming industries and currently heads up the mental health board of LeadingSaints.org, a non-profit designed to help create leaders in religious congregations. Tony hosts the award-winning podcast The Virtual Couch (http://virtualcouch.xyz), where he tackles a variety of mental health issues, and he is the co-author of He's a Porn Addict...Now What?: An Expert and a Former Addict Answer Your Questions, a groundbreaking book that addresses topics such as pornography addiction/compulsive sexual behavior as well as betrayal trauma. Tony initially followed a call to become a therapist in order to help men become better husbands and fathers. What he quickly realized is that not a lot of men naturally gravitate to therapy, so he found himself primarily working with men who were either at the lowest of low, or who were often in danger of losing their marriages, jobs, or families due to addictions, primarily pornography or compulsive sexual behavior. What he learned in working with over 1,000 individuals struggling with pornography or compulsive sexual behavior was that their "acting out" was more of a coping mechanism for a "void" in their life. He discovered that they typically were feeling a disconnect in one or many areas of their lives including marriage, parenting, health, career, and faith. This discovery led Tony to create The Path Back, an online non-denominational, faith-based pornography addiction and compulsive sexual behavior program that is helping people reclaim the lives that they always dreamed of living. You can find his online program at http://pathbackrecovery.com Tony has a very successful private practice in Northern California where he works with couples and individuals in a very strength-based approach that focuses on embracing vulnerability, learning the importance of authenticity, and building tools that lead to resiliency at the individual and martial level. Tony also has a thriving business coaching practice where he has the opportunity to work with CEOs, politicians, professional athletes, and anyone who is interested in the crossroads of where coaching and therapy converge. You can learn more about his practice at http://tonyoverbay.com In his spare time, Tony is an avid runner, having completed over 150 marathons and ultra-marathons, including a dozen races of 100 miles or more. Tony organized a community event while his kids were in middle school where he ran 24 hours around a school track to raise money for schools. During the 6-year event, he covered distances from 112 to 125 miles in the 24 hour period. Tony has been married to his high school sweetheart, Wendy, for 29 years and they have 4 children.
