Sexual Abuse therapists in Chesterfield, Virginia VA

I look forward to continuing to work with individuals who have experienced sexual abuse. My hope is that as we collaborate, they begin to change the way they view their experiences, understand their ability to create the lives and connections they desire and come to realize how brave and powerful they have been in the past, are now and can be into the future!  

Cognitive Behavioral Treatment for sexual abuse  

I often apply current, best-practice treatments for PTSD and depression to aid my clients in recovery from past sexual abuse experiences, both from child- and adulthood. These techniques help clients heal regardless of whether the abuse occurred briefly or over a prolonged period. I treat both men and women with histories of sexual abuse and assault and try to be especially attuned to the unique forms of stigma that are often perceived by clients.  

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.  

Sexual abuse is much more common than most people realize. Processing and treating sexual abuse is an important part of recovery.
