Sexual Abuse
Jarrett Langfitt
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CADC
In my years of providing trauma therapy to survivors of sexual assault, I have seen the ways in which sexual trauma can devastate the survivor's sense of safety, trust, self-esteem, and their ability to form meaningful connections with others. Sexual abuse can leave psychological wounds that impact many aspects of life. By seeking professional support in the aftermath of this type of violation, you have taken a significant step toward taking back power and self-direction. You deserve to be heard, understood, and supported as you grapple with your experiences and move toward healing.
If you are struggling with the impact of sexual assault, I encourage you to reach out to me today to discuss how I can support you in your journey.

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.

I specialize in treating sexual abuse, physical abuse and PTSD. I utilize skills from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) as well as prolonged exposure therapy (PE) to help clients emotionally process their trauma self-compassionately.

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.

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.
