Sexual Abuse
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
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.

Maggie Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
I offer empathetic, non-judgmental support to those who have suffered sexual abuse, whether it occurred long ago, recently, or both. I understand the devastation it causes to one's beliefs about oneself, as well as the way it can color every other facet of life with distrust and fear. The healing process itself is difficult and usually requires patience, perseverance, and the supportive structure of a healthy therapeutic relationship. Together, we can explore and process what happened to you, the ways you continue to be impacted by sexual abuse, and how you can find empowerment and transformation through healing and therapy.

Jarrett Langfitt

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.
