Sexual Abuse therapists in Killingly Center, Connecticut CT
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Sexual abuse often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.

Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
I often apply current, best-practice treatments for PTSD and depression to aid my clients in recovery from past sexual abuse experiences, both from child- and adulthood. These techniques help clients heal regardless of whether the abuse occurred briefly or over a prolonged period. I treat both men and women with histories of sexual abuse and assault and try to be especially attuned to the unique forms of stigma that are often perceived by clients.

Maggie Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
I offer empathetic, non-judgmental support to those who have suffered sexual abuse, whether it occurred long ago, recently, or both. I understand the devastation it causes to one's beliefs about oneself, as well as the way it can color every other facet of life with distrust and fear. The healing process itself is difficult and usually requires patience, perseverance, and the supportive structure of a healthy therapeutic relationship. Together, we can explore and process what happened to you, the ways you continue to be impacted by sexual abuse, and how you can find empowerment and transformation through healing and therapy.

The trauma of sexual abuse can leave scars and affect how one shows up in the world. Dealing with secondary issues, such as lack of trust, fear, and other problems can help.
