Sandra Lashley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Because I have worked with women in treatment for many years, I have found that a history of sexual abuse is sadly, not rare. Whether someone has had a single traumatic incident in their past or experienced a chronic pattern of abuse, taking the first step to seek treatment is a courageous and vitally important step. Every individual's process is unique and the journey to healing can only be done with a therapeutic foundation of safety and deep trust, which is always the foundation I aim to create with all of my patients.

Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
I have seen many survivors of sexual abuse, rape and incest over the years. A pioneer in the field of rape and violence as Women's Issues, I have been quoted in numerous articles and books on these subjects, as well as being the author of an article for "Victimology Magazine". I provided the original staff training at the DC Rape Crisis Center and followed up with active support of their counselors. I also worked with the DC Area Women's Center. I testified at the Rape Council Hearings in the 1970's and have been featured in a prime time TV series on rape. My relaxation methods and my zoom seminars help to facilitate healing, and many find them helpful. Please feel free to call for further information and/or a consultation: 301-229-8000.

Sexual Abuse Recovery services provide compassionate and trauma-informed care to individuals who have experienced sexual abuse. Our counseling is centered on creating a safe and supportive environment for survivors to process their experiences, navigate the complexities of healing, and reclaim a sense of empowerment. Recognizing the profound and personal impact of sexual abuse, we approach each person's journey with empathy, discretion, and professionalism.
Therapeutic Approaches for Healing
* Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address harmful thought patterns and beliefs resulting from abuse, promoting healthier and more adaptive cognition.
* Somatic Experiencing to help survivors reconnect with their bodies and manage the physical symptoms of trauma.
* Group Counseling where individuals can share their stories and gain support from others with similar experiences in a safe, moderated setting.
* Education to assist survivors in understanding the effects of sexual abuse and the process of trauma recovery.
Objectives of Sexual Abuse Recovery Counseling
Our Sexual Abuse Recovery Counseling aims to:
* Assist survivors in acknowledging and processing their experiences of abuse.
* Enable individuals to develop effective coping strategies for dealing with the emotional and psychological aftermath.
* Foster a reconnection with one's body, addressing dissociation and somatic disturbances that often accompany sexual trauma.
* Rebuild a sense of safety, trust, and control that may have been disrupted by the abuse.
* Empower survivors to establish and maintain healthy boundaries in relationships.
* Provide support in developing a positive sense of identity and self-worth beyond the experience of abuse.
Healing from sexual abuse is a deeply personal and sometimes challenging journey. Our Sexual Abuse Recovery services are dedicated to guiding survivors through their healing process, offering specialized therapeutic interventions to help restore mental, emotional, and physical balance. With the utmost care and confidentiality, we are here to support each survivor in moving toward a future defined by strength, resilience, and hope.

Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Sexual abuse doesn't effect everyone the same way. As such, there is no one treatment that works equally for everyone. I have been trained to use various forms of psychodynamic (e.g., Supportive-Expressive Treatment, Transference-Focused Psychotherapy) and cognitive-behavioral (e.g., Prolonged Exposure) therapies to help people suffering from the long-term effects of sexual and physical abuse.

Cheryl S Rubenstein
Psychologist, PhD
Sexual abuse is devastating and can have a variety of negative impacts. This is part of why I believe specialized training is useful in working with its victims. If you have been victimized this way, I’m so sorry. I invite you to talk with me and see if it feels like together, we might be able to help you heal.

The trauma of sexual abuse can leave scars and affect how one shows up in the world. Dealing with secondary issues, such as lack of trust, fear, and other problems can help.
