Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Sexual abuse encompasses any non-consensual sexual activity or behavior imposed upon an individual. I would aid those grappling with sexual abuse by furnishing a secure and empathetic environment for them to process their ordeals. Collaboratively, we would delve into the emotional repercussions of the abuse, address symptoms of trauma or PTSD, and devise coping mechanisms to manage triggers and distressing memories. Moreover, I would support them in reestablishing a sense of safety and trust while navigating any relational or intimacy challenges stemming from the abuse. Our objective is to empower them to overcome the trauma, reclaim their identity, and progress towards recovery and healing.

Sexual Abuse
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Sexual abuse often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.

Faye Williams
Therapist, Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Sexual abuse is common and yet still stigmatized. The experience of it can lead to shame and sexual dysfunction within relationships. Even experiences of the way sex is talked about can lead to harm because our bodies are always listening. It's time to reclaim your sexuality for yourself so you can express yourself within the context of relationships in an empowered way.

Sexual Abuse
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.
