Sexual Abuse therapists in Forestdale, Alabama AL
Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Sexual abuse is not always violent, in fact, it is rarely violent. I have presented at conferences on non-consensual sexual experiences and how those experiences affect clients. I will never ever tell you that anything you went through was your fault, wasn't "really rape," or is your marital duty. In addition to non-consensual sexual experiences I specialize in treating military sexual trauma. Almost all cases of sexual abuse are compounded by institutional betrayal either by medical professionals, police officers, human resources or commanding officers, or lawyers. Institutional betrayal can make it difficult for clients to trust anyone. I hope that if you are a person who has gone through any of these experiences that you will reach out to myself or other sex positive therapists.

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.
