Female Survivors of Sexual Assault
This group is open to women who have experienced sexual assault as adults. Sexual violence is one of the greatest threats to our well-being and the experience can be so overwhelming that we don't know where to begin. We can help you process the experience, develop healthy coping skills, and rediscover a sense of safety in the world. Practical tools for managing PTSD symptoms will be provided. This group meets weekly, for 90 minutes, and is open to women age 18 and over. Perpetrators can be men or women, family or non-family. www.fireflytherapyny.com

Female Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse
The vibe of group is calm and relaxed. No one is required to share anything that they don't want to. Common themes addressed include, but are not limited to: flashbacks, feeling safe, sexuality, self-blame, others' reactions, coping skills, the criminal justice system, etc. I've been running groups centered on this topic for 15 years and have found it to be a very moving and powerful experience for clients. There is a special kind of connection and healing that comes from peer interactions in conjunction with therapist/client interaction. Schedule: Monday OR Wednesday evenings, 7:00-8:30.
