Sexual Abuse
Dr. Carolina Castanos, PhD, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, PHD, LMFT
Sexual abuse leaves us feeling ashamed, guilty, dirty. All these impact how we relate with ourselves, our feelings, and others. I work providing resources to feel towards oneself in a different way, to be more compassionate, loving towards ourselves as we heal from the trauma of the abuse.

Sexual Abuse
James Foley Sexual Misbehavior, Infidelity , Expert 26 Years Experience
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, SOTS,
I help persons who engaged in illegal sexual behaviors learn how to never do so again.
I also coordinate efforts with defense attorneys, so as to help the clients attorney best defend their client , and I work with that attorney to show the court the client is making real change.
In my coordination with the defense attorney, I work on helping the client change distorted thoughts and behaviors so as to present well at their pre-sentencing interview (PSI), to help show the court that a community (not jail) based disposition is possible for that particular client.
I have a great track record in assisting attorneys in doing their job of helping their client get the best possible disposition of the case.

Emily Sledge
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
You are brave for being willing to focus on healing the wounds that stem from the sexual abuse your experienced or are experiencing. Maybe you tried to forget about it for a time - some attempt to for a lifetime, but you see the ways this experience has affected you and your life. So, here you are - being brave - willing to look back on that experience that haunts you and has caused so much pain.
When you work with me to heal sexual trauma, we first focus on regulating your nervous system - this helps you to feel confident in your ability to relax and self regulate your emotions and thoughts. Then, and only when you feel ready, we can cognitively process those hurts while helping you to maintain a regulated stated. This is what help you to heal. Revisiting and reprocessing your experience while emotionally regulated dissolves the distress associated with these memories. You gain the cognitive space to heal and understand your experience from new perspectives. You heal impacts on your sexuality and sense of trust.
