Sexual Abuse therapists in Oak Park, Indiana IN
Alan Archibald
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Certified TFCBT, Certified Family Trauma Professional
Sexual Abuse – Individuals who have experienced sexual abuse almost always have the emotional experience of being deeply betrayed and usually at a point of high vulnerability. This betrayal is difficult to process because there is usually a feeling of guilt and shame that is embedded in our bodies. Often the understanding that they are not to blame doesn’t change the feeling of shame. So it is important to address both emotions and thoughts in the process of mastering the memories. I am certified as a Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapist. I am also trained in EMDR to address trauma and the feelings of vulnerability that accompany it.

When the foundation of trust shaken (if not feeling broken) through experiences of trauma, the approach to restoring one's life must always be one of sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Without this, there will always be a risk that it will never feel safe enough to heal.
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.

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.
