Sexual Abuse Therapists in Bristol, PA

At some point in our life we all experience a traumatic event. For some, these traumatic events (such as sexual abuse, a break-up, domestic violence, death of a loved one) are manageable and symptoms typically subside without disrupting any other areas of life. However, for others, such traumatic events take control over some or all areas of their life and lead to negative long-term consequences. As painful as the trauma is, you can still heal and grow after a traumatic event.

Greetings! I am Keana Fairfax, LCSW, a doctoral candidate (2024). My Ideal clients may face challenges such as healing from trauma, including childhood sexual abuse or racial exclusion. Mental health issues like depression, anxiety, or PTSD may also exist. They require a safe space for healing, culturally competent support, and empowerment. Their goals may include processing repressed trauma, building confidence, developing coping and distraction strategies, improving emotional communication and trust, and relationship building. Tailoring care to these complex needs can pave the way toward a balanced and fulfilling life.

I have been a licensed psychologist in Pennsylvania since 2003, and practicing in the Bucks County area as a Christian therapist since 1991. I have experience dealing with a wide range of issues and working with children, adolescents, and adults, in addition to teaching at the graduate level. I get tremendous joy from seeing people take their troubling symptoms, the panic attacks, the depressed mood, the self-defeating patterns of relating, and use them to build the self-understanding and character strength necessary to boldly love and experience the kind of intimacy in relationships they never thought possible.

Currently, I'm only accepting male clients who have been sexually abused and/or assaulted. I work with men of all ages, including older men who have never talked about being sexually abused. While there are many female therapists who work well with male sexual abuse survivors, I believe being a straight male therapist with a wife and family helps. I also specialize in helping adult men with depression, anxiety, and other histories of trauma, such as physical and emotional abuse. I am certified in Interactional Guided Imagery, a trained EMDR therapist, facilitated over 100 psychodramas, and am effective and successful in my work.

Nobody gets through life without difficult experiences. Some experiences, like living through childhood neglect, abuse, or family dysfunction, make everyday stressors even more difficult. Difficult childhood experiences don’t just “go away” once we become adults. They can impact every aspect of adult life.

My ideal client would be someone motivated to do the work on themselves, open to feedback, and doesn't mind being open with me. I do not have a preference; as far as diagnosis, I have a preference for clients who know what they want and are willing to let me help them to get there.

I specialize in issues related to sexual trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, parenting issues, marital infidelity and conflict, domestic violence and coercive abuse in relationships, grief, managing stress, managing chronic pain/illness, spiritual concerns and relationship issues. In addition, I also utilize Prepare Enrich resources for premarital counseling services. My counseling style is insight-oriented and psychodynamic, drawing from the individual's story to reveal patterns that may be prohibiting healthy relating.

I enjoy empowering the individuals that I work with to help them make a decision in the direction they would like to see their lives go. Through several Cognitive Behavior Techniques, we are able to discover faulty cognitive patterns that may or may not have led to automatic negative thoughts (ANTS). As we discover those faulty cognitive thinking patterns, we are able to help individuals reframe negative thought patterns to help relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety, and raise self-esteem. I am also trained in EMDR. Sometimes painful memories get locked in our brains. EMDR helps process those memories, where the brain does it all.

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of clinical experience providing highly individualized, effective treatment for a wide range of emotional, psychological and adjustment related concerns. Being a seasoned clinician, I have a deep knowledge base, with training in many therapeutic theories. This allows me to develop interventions that will best assist you in reaching your goals.

Having a safe place of support and connection to unload burdens goes a long way. It is exhausting to explore more about yourself, others, and your world when you are not feeling heard unconditionally. I am here to walk with you in a judgement-free, yet honest journey toward emotional safety. I am here whether you face anxiety, hard relationships, stress, or family tension.

I enjoy treating adults, teens, couples (married or otherwise), and families who are suffering from a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, illness, recent loss, drug and substance abuse and/or a history of trauma (emotional, physical and mental).I specialize in working with couples (married or otherwise). The relational dynamic and negative reinforcement cycles intimate partners find themselves trapped in are the things I have a strong knack for noticing and interrupting to allow couples to find new ways to improve their relationship quality.
