One of the most painful parts of being a victim of sexual abuse is the burden of blame, but we want you to know with certainty: it is never your fault. An abuser’s actions are a reflection of their own issues, not a reflection of your worth. Counseling provides a space where you can gently put down that heavy weight of guilt and shame. We’ll help you understand the dynamics of abuse so you can rebuild your sense of self and remember that you are worthy of love and respect.

A sexual abuse counselor can help challenge those harmful beliefs and replace them with a healthier understanding of what happened.
