Sexual Abuse therapists in Lake Jackson, Texas TX
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.

Easier said than realized, but sexual abuse doesn't define you. It was a tragedy that happened TO you. It was a horrific violation of boundaries. But with therapy, your worth, your connection to a "good-enough" you can be restored & the shame can be left in the past.

Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
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.
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.
