Sexual Abuse therapists in Catalina Foothills, Arizona AZ
Sexual Abuse
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.

Sexual Abuse
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.

Sexual Abuse
Kathy Anderson
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LAMFT
If sexual abuse is a part of your story, it's quite common that it might surface within your intimate relationship as trauma symptoms. Often times, this might include complete withdrawal from sexual interaction, avoidance of sex, avoidance of vulnerability or emotional intimacy, dissociation, panic, anxiety surrounding sex, or even hyper sexuality or compulsive sexual activity. Sexual trauma that has not been processed can interrupt a couple's intimacy in a variety of ways. Couple therapy can help to resource some psycho education surrounding your relationship dynamic and how trauma may be impacting it, as well as resource strategies of working through and beyond the trauma into safe connection at your pace. Sexual abuse can already feel so isolating and difficult to carry one your own, so let's create the conditions necessary for your to feel supported and cared for so that you and your partner can reclaim intimacy, sexuality, and vulnerability in a way that feels safe for you both.
