Sexual Abuse

We understand the challenges and difficulties faced by victims of sexual abuse. Our experienced therapists are here to support you and help you heal from the trauma of abuse.

What is sexual abuse?

Sexual abuse is any type of unwanted or non-consensual sexual contact, including rape, molestation, and sexual harassment. Sexual abuse can have severe and long-lasting effects on the mental and emotional health of the victim.

How can therapy help?

Therapy can provide a safe and supportive environment for victims of sexual abuse to process their experiences and to heal from the trauma. A therapist can help a victim to:

• Understand and cope with the emotions and reactions to the abuse

• Develop healthy communication and boundaries in relationships

• Build a support network of friends, family, and other resources

• Increase their overall well-being and quality of life

Our therapists are trained in a range of evidence-based techniques and approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and trauma-focused therapy. We will work with you to create a treatment plan that meets your unique needs and goals.

What can I do on my own to heal?

In addition to seeking therapy, there are several things that a victim of sexual abuse can do on their own to help with their healing process:

• Reach out to friends, family, and other support networks for help and support

• Practice self-care and prioritize your own well-being

• Learn more about sexual abuse and its effects on your mental and emotional health

• Seek out resources and support groups for survivors of sexual abuse
