THERAPY GROUPS

Process Therapy Group for Women who were Sexually Abused as Children

We recommend this group for women who feel ready to discuss and explore how abuse has affected their lives. Process therapy will allow you to make connections between your thoughts and your feelings about your abuse. Then you will be able to make choices regarding its impact in your life.

Recommended for adult women who were sexually abused as children and feel ready to
discuss and explore how their lives have been affected by that abuse. 
Group settings can assist healing by providing an opportunity for exploration of thoughts and
feelings with other survivors in a safe,
supportive environment.
