Hello, my name is Clarita Requena-Layton, I am a seasoned Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Alaska. My passion lies in guiding individuals towards embracing change and leading lives that are genuine, liberated, and filled with purpose. I use an eclectic approach to providing therapy, because I have come to understand that the challenges faced by those seeking assistance often run much deeper and are far more intricate than they initially appear. It is often what lies beneath the surface symptoms that holds the true root of their pain and disconnection.

You might be an adult feeling completely overwhelmed by anxiety, a young person trying to find your footing through a major life transition, or a parent noticing that your child or teenager has started to withdraw. My ideal clients are children (ages 8+), adolescents, and adults who are ready to understand themselves more deeply. I work best with individuals who are looking for a collaborative partner—someone who will offer a safe space to vent, but also hand you the practical, real-world tools you need to actually feel better.

Families, formed of blood or love, contribute to what shapes us. I help families heal and deal. Couples — married/not, same‑sex/not, platonic/romantic — get tangled in webs; I help unweave them. They may settle into parallel lines, and sometimes they part ways. Either way, there is healing. That is the work we do together. When at the end of your rope, holding on can hinder progress. Together we can plan your landing and cut the rope. And, if needed, take a step backward, because a step backward is still a step. We can change the view and the narrative. Healing begins at the side‑door, where I’m waiting for you with the light on.

Sexual Abuse Therapists
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.
