Sexual Abuse
TyaCamellia (Tya) Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
It’s exhausting to live constantly in a state of protecting yourself, rather than embracing yourself.
It steals your ability to focus. It cheats you out of joy and ease. It invades your ability to have fun. You’re white-knuckling your way through every day, but hide it behind a smile.
I Will Help You:
Communicate difficult memories, thoughts and emotions in a cathartic way.
Navigate through triggers and flashbacks.
Process past traumas that still live in your body and mind.
Create a positive, empowered, and well-rounded sense of self.
Develop healthy coping skills and self-soothing techniques.
Renovate your relationship with sex and your body.
Create and maintain boundaries that encourage healthy relationships.
You've survived -- now it's time to thrive!

James Foley Sexual Misbehavior, Infidelity , Expert 26 Years Experience
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, SOTS,
I help persons who engaged in illegal sexual behaviors learn how to never do so again.
I also coordinate efforts with defense attorneys, so as to help the clients attorney best defend their client , and I work with that attorney to show the court the client is making real change.
In my coordination with the defense attorney, I work on helping the client change distorted thoughts and behaviors so as to present well at their pre-sentencing interview (PSI), to help show the court that a community (not jail) based disposition is possible for that particular client.
I have a great track record in assisting attorneys in doing their job of helping their client get the best possible disposition of the case.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Examples of scenarios that survivors might experience, which inspire them to seek help from others to heal, include:
Uncommon reactions to situations
Continued struggles with feelings and emotions
Sexual dysfunction
New experiences trigger past traumas
Survivors of sexual abuse have found that recognizing their trauma, speaking about it with others, and seeking justice are essential parts of healing. Those who engage with the healing process can move past their trauma and live healthy lives and eliminate some or all of the struggles they have experienced when coping with their trauma on their own.
