Sexual Abuse therapists in Upper Alton, Illinois IL
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.

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.

I look forward to working with people who have survived sexual abuse to help them start to change the way they look at what happened to them, their experiences, how they can create the lives and connections they want and see how brave and powerful they were in the past, are now and can be into the future!

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.
