Christina Andino
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
In my role as a therapist specializing in sexual abuse and trauma, I am here to assist survivors in addressing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The therapeutic process is a transformative journey that aids in reclaiming a sense of self-worth and propelling survivors towards post-traumatic growth.
Survivors of sexual abuse bear immense pain and trauma, often leaving enduring emotional and psychological scars. Therapy emerges as a potent tool, enabling survivors to embark on a healing path and regain control over their lives.
Within the therapeutic space, survivors find a safe and supportive environment to process their experiences, validate their emotions, and develop coping strategies. Through this process, survivors gain a deeper understanding of the impact of abuse on their mental health, build resilience, and acquire the skills to establish healthy boundaries. The aim is to empower survivors on their journey towards healing and recovery.

Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
I often apply current, best-practice treatments for PTSD and depression to aid my clients in recovery from past sexual abuse experiences, both from child- and adulthood. These techniques help clients heal regardless of whether the abuse occurred briefly or over a prolonged period. I treat both men and women with histories of sexual abuse and assault and try to be especially attuned to the unique forms of stigma that are often perceived by clients.
