Sexual Abuse therapists in Santa Clarita, California CA

I have over 10 years experience working with sexual abuse survivors. I am trained in different treatment modalities specific to working with a person who has a history of sexual abuse. Working with sexual abuse survivors is a delicate process and it is important to find a therapist who has an understanding of working with individuals to avoid retraumatization.  

Our mission here at West Valley Counseling is to provide affordable therapy to individuals and families. All of our therapists are licensed to practice as pre-licensed and licensed therapists in the State of California. Our staff is diverse, multi-cultural and LGBT informed.  

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.
