When I started my social work career in 2005, I dedicated my skills to provide support/relief to "those people" meaning people who experienced trauma, addiction, or other taboo topics that society didn't want to acknowledge with dignity. I have a full tool box to draw from and am ready to share these tools with anyone who is willing to learn and practice these techniques. Relief doesn't mean you won't have struggles, however the struggles will not cause your whole world to shut down.
Working through your past trauma with other men may sound terrifying but it is a healing experience when done under the guidance of a trained trauma therapist. If you identify as male, have not healed from past trauma, and are interested in joining a group with other men who also struggle with healing from past trauma, please reach out. This will be a 12-week, closed, skills AND process group. IN ORDER TO BE CONISERED ELIGIBLE, YOU MUST HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL THERAPIST AND YOU MUST BE ABLE TO REFRAIN FROM TALKING ABOUT THE DETAILS OF YOUR TRAUMA DURING THE GROUP SESSIONS.

In Truth MHC brings hope, healing, & direction to adults dealing with traumatic memories, guilt/shame, anger, grief, etc. without the bullshit. If you are looking for a therapist who's dressed to the nines, mouth is clean as a whistle, and is well put-together, I am not your person. Move on. I'm relatable, consumer of therapy, & as true to myself as I'll encourage you to be to yourself. I'm real with my clients and I'll challenge you to get real in your therapy. I'll work to get to know you. I believe that if I can't understand why you're doing what you're doing, then I need to work harder to know and understand you.

My practice focuses on relationships, attachment, and trauma. I work with individuals and couples who feel disconnected, unheard, and are struggling. I’m excellent at navigating complexity and co-creating a safer space with you to unpack painful experiences and overwhelming emotions while being compassionate, direct, and offering insight. I focus on looking for patterns in the past that are continuing to show up in the present that impact your relationships.

Sexual Abuse Support Groups
How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.
Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.
How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.
Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
