James Foley Sexual Misbehavior, Infidelity , Expert 31 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.

Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
The effects of sexual abuse can continue long after the experience, affecting safety, trust, relationships, body image, intimacy, and self-worth. Survivors may carry fear, shame, guilt, anger, or disconnection—but the abuse was never your fault.
I provide compassionate, trauma-informed therapy that honors your boundaries, choices, and pace. You will never be pressured to share details or process memories before you feel ready. Together, we build safety and emotional stability, reduce shame and self-blame, and gently address the impact of trauma. Healing is about reclaiming your voice, your body, and your right to live with dignity, connection, and freedom.
