Sexual Abuse
Jimi Katsis
Counsellor/Therapist, MA psych, Dip SW
Experiencing sexual abuse can be a traumatic and life-altering event, and it can have a significant impact on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals who have been affected by sexual abuse.
I use evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), and Dialectical Behaviour therapy (DBT) which have been proven to be effective in treating the effects of sexual abuse.
CBT is a form of therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to their emotional distress. TF-CBT is a specific type of CBT that is designed to help individuals who have experienced traumatic events such as sexual abuse.
In therapy sessions, we will work together to understand the dynamics of the abuse, and develop strategies to help you process and heal from the trauma. I will also help you to set realistic goals and work towards a positive future.
Sexual abuse can be a difficult and overwhelming experience, but it is possible to heal and move forward. I am here to help you through this process, and I encourage you to reach out for help.

Sexual abuse is a specific form of trauma. It often threatens not only our ability to maintain control over our lives, but our sense of self. The result of this is that the trauma radiates into every aspect of our lives. The goal of therapy is to understand the damage and to regain control. Reflexively, regaining control over our lives is a way of rebuilding our sense of self.

Dr. Birte Nachtwey
Registered Psychotherapist, MD, CORST
If you have or are experiencing sexual abuse, it is very important to get help. You need to get out of this situation and/ or heal from the damage done. People that were sexually abused may be traumatized and suffer from dissociation (part of you goes away), flashbacks (images and/or physical and emotional reactions are triggered involuntarily) and other symptoms that can make your life difficult and hinder you to experience positive sexual encounters. This affects you and your relationships and can be helped. Don’t hesitate, especially if this is ongoing. Get help quickly and start your better life.
If you are a person who abuses a child or any other person, part of you may justify this with different excuses and even claim it wasn’t abuse. If there is a part, maybe the best in you, that knows what you are doing is not ok, then get help as soon as possible. Change is possible, also for you.
