I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy. The ability to talk to an objective and supportive person who isn’t attached to your everyday life has value because they can help guide you through your life and offer perspective in areas that maybe weren’t clear to you. Seeking help from therapy is like getting help with your broken car. Sure you could probably watch a YouTube video on how to fix the car, but why not take it to an expert who is trained on how to fix cars. The same thing goes for mental health. Life has so many ups and downs, so why not seek help from someone who is trained to help people navigate that journey.

Are you autistic? LGBTQ+? Looking to process trauma or work on a relationship? If so, I might be the right therapist for you. With me you’ll be met with compassion and a place to safely be yourself. Developing an understanding of your life context can be empowering. In my experience, many therapeutic issues show up at the intersection of capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy. With me, therapy is a safe place to deconstruct these forces and to explore who you want to be within your context. Therapy can be really hard and really worth it. I’m here to make sure you have someone with you on your journey who cares.

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.
