Sexual Abuse
Jimi Katsis
Counselor/Therapist, MA psych, Dip SW
Experiencing sexual abuse can be a traumatic and life-altering event, and it can have a significant impact on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals who have been affected by sexual abuse.
I use evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), and Dialectical Behaviour therapy (DBT) which have been proven to be effective in treating the effects of sexual abuse.
CBT is a form of therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to their emotional distress. TF-CBT is a specific type of CBT that is designed to help individuals who have experienced traumatic events such as sexual abuse.
In therapy sessions, we will work together to understand the dynamics of the abuse, and develop strategies to help you process and heal from the trauma. I will also help you to set realistic goals and work towards a positive future.
Sexual abuse can be a difficult and overwhelming experience, but it is possible to heal and move forward. I am here to help you through this process, and I encourage you to reach out for help.

Navigating the trauma of sexual abuse in therapy requires a compassionate and tailored approach to healing. By integrating modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), individuals can embark on a journey towards healing and empowerment.
EMDR can be particularly beneficial in processing the deep-seated emotional wounds associated with sexual abuse. This therapy assists individuals in reprocessing traumatic memories, allowing them to alleviate the distressing feelings and negative beliefs attached to the trauma. Through a series of guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps individuals desensitize and reprocess these memories, leading to a reduction in their emotional impact.
ACT, on the other hand, encourages individuals to accept the difficult emotions and thoughts that arise from the trauma while focusing on living a meaningful life aligned with personal values. By developing mindfulness skills and acceptance of their experiences, individuals can begin to detach from the trauma's grip and move forward with a sense of purpose and authenticity.
By incorporating EMDR and ACT into therapy sessions, survivors of sexual abuse can work towards healing the wounds of their past, reclaiming their sense of self-worth, and fostering a path towards resilience and well-being.
