Sexual Abuse
The Caring Center
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCPC
Having worked extensively at the Montgomery County Crisis Center in conjunction with the Sexual Assault Service I am very familiar with the trauma of sexual assault and abuse and how to deal with it. Unresolved issues in this area can greatly affect one's self-esteem one's sense of control, and one's sense of safety. I can help you work through that and help you heal the past and any difficulties you may be having in your present relationships because of it.

Cynthia Leslie
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, MA, CPRS
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.

Sexual Abuse Recovery services provide compassionate and trauma-informed care to individuals who have experienced sexual abuse. Our therapy is centered on creating a safe and supportive environment for survivors to process their experiences, navigate the complexities of healing, and reclaim a sense of empowerment. Recognizing the profound and personal impact of sexual abuse, we approach each person's journey with empathy, discretion, and professionalism.
Therapeutic Approaches for Healing
* Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address harmful thought patterns and beliefs resulting from abuse, promoting healthier and more adaptive cognition.
* Somatic Experiencing to help survivors reconnect with their bodies and manage the physical symptoms of trauma.
* Group Therapy where individuals can share their stories and gain support from others with similar experiences in a safe, moderated setting.
* Psychoeducation to assist survivors in understanding the effects of sexual abuse and the process of trauma recovery.
Objectives of Sexual Abuse Recovery Therapy
Our Sexual Abuse Recovery Therapy aims to:
* Assist survivors in acknowledging and processing their experiences of abuse.
* Enable individuals to develop effective coping strategies for dealing with the emotional and psychological aftermath.
* Foster a reconnection with one's body, addressing dissociation and somatic disturbances that often accompany sexual trauma.
* Rebuild a sense of safety, trust, and control that may have been disrupted by the abuse.
* Empower survivors to establish and maintain healthy boundaries in relationships.
* Provide support in developing a positive sense of identity and self-worth beyond the experience of abuse.
Healing from sexual abuse is a deeply personal and sometimes challenging journey. Our Sexual Abuse Recovery services are dedicated to guiding survivors through their healing process, offering specialized therapeutic interventions to help restore mental, emotional, and physical balance. With the utmost care and confidentiality, we are here to support each survivor in moving toward a future defined by strength, resilience, and hope.
7 Years Experience
Sexual Abuse
Hypnosis Silver Spring
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapist certified by International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association
Sexual abuse is a particular form of trauma and PTS ("Post Traumatic Stress - I don't like the "D" for "disorder"). This work can be difficult. We will work through and resolve the memory of the original incident or incidents (there are often many, over a period of years), in gentle ways that do not require direct, painful re-experiencing. We will work mostly on the unconscious level to resolve the emotions involved, and the associated shame, guilt, regret, and grief. And we will use NLP and hypnosis to disarm the triggers that bring back the thoughts and feelings.
This work can take longer than the 3-4 sessions that resolve most other types of issues.
