Sexual Abuse therapists in Pine Ridge, Florida FL
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.

Sadly, statistics show 1/4 girls were sexually abused and 1/5 boys. It is likely under-reported since victims often feel shame and responsibiity which is not theirs to carry.

Dr. Kelly Smith
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Have you or your child gone through an experience of abuse and need support to get to the other side? Is anger, sleeplessness, worries, dropping job or school grades, poor relationships (or worries that this will be a problem one day), or blaming yourself an ongoing part of your experience? Walking down the street reacting to people who smell like, look like, or sound like them. This is normal unless you have processed what happened. Living like this doesn't have to be the new normal. It is possible to go on to have healthy relationships, sleep through the night, be confident out in the world, and do well in life.

Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When the foundation of trust shaken (if not feeling broken) through experiences of trauma, the approach to restoring one's life must always be one of sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Without this, there will always be a risk that it will never feel safe enough to heal.
Dr. Kimberly E. Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, APIT
A significant portion of my client base have experienced childhood and adult sexual abuse. Not infrequently the abuse may be by a family member or someone you know. Surviving the abuse is an important achievement. Being able to confront, process and successfully move forward in life is an important goal that takes sensitivity, trust and an experienced therapist. I strive to provide this to my clients on their path to healing.
