Sexual Abuse therapists in Los Osos, California CA
Emma Esper
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
I have experience in working with both covert and overt sexual abuse, stemming from childhood and/or adult experiences. There continues to be a lot of shame and stigma in coming forward and sharing these stories of abuse. I am there to help guide you to sharing your story, processing shame, and increasing feelings of hope. You are not what happened to you, you are what you choose to become.
5 Years Experience
Dr. Rebecca Scott, Psy.D
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist, Certified in Holistic Health
I can provide support to patients who are struggling with sexual abuse both past and current. I provide many different types of modalities and encourage patients to choose the path they feel most comfortable with. Recalling all the details can be further traumatizing and research suggests in many cases not necessary.
15 Years Experience
Ricardo Peña
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.

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.
