Sexual Abuse therapists in Kingsville, Texas TX
Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR, REAT
Sexual abuse is much larger problem than most people realize. One in four women have a history of sexual abuse. One in 7 men. These are just the reported cases. We keep it a secret for years. It destroys our sense of self. We feel less than, dirty, not good enough, and terrified it will happen again. We cannot block out the memory. It is a depressing and overwhelming. I use Cognitive Processing Therapy, a 12 session approach to reducing symptoms of trauma. If clients are open to using art, we add it as a way to go deeper and better express what is difficult to express verbally.

Myoung Shin Hilson
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Experiencing sexual abuse can be incredibly difficult, however, it's important to know that healing is possible, although it may take time. The trauma of abuse does not define your worth or identity. You remain whole, complete, original, and enough as a human being, resilient, and deserving of dignity and respect. Together, we'll navigate the path towards healing, reclaiming your strength and sense of self, and empowering you to live a life free from the shadows of the past.

Dr. Monte Miller
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have helped many women and men deal with past abuse — sexual, physical, and emotional. I will listen to your story and validate your feelings, whatever they may be. You were truly a victim, and I do not want to minimize that pain or your traumatic triggers and reactions. However, I do not want you to be a victim forever. I want to have you become empowered, stronger as a result of your recovery. I want you to be in a place where you are free to love without fear. Anything else than freedom, love, and happiness is letting that bastard beat you, and we just can't have that!
A person's sexuality and ability to have healthy relationships can be greatly impaired by sexual abuse, making someone very sexual or very much against sex. Processing this can give you more control over your own sexuality, however that might look like.
