Starting Sexual abuse therapy

Sexual abuse therapy helps victims heal from their abuse and trauma. Sex crime can take a number of forms, from the abuse of a child to the violent sexual assault of an adult. No matter what kind of experience you or a loved one has had, the trained providers at Thriveworks in Portland, ME will be ready to get to work on helping you find a path toward a better future.

How does sexual abuse therapy work?

Sexual abuse therapy works by helping victims process and move forward from their traumatic experience(s). In addition, it helps one address and manage any resulting mental health challenges from depression to stress, anxiety, poor self-image, unhealthy eating patterns, and more.

Sexual abuse therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

I have been in therapy, on and off, since adolescence. Justin is the single greatest therapist that I have seen. They are respectful, they push me when it's needed, are incredibly kind, and have ultimately motivated and helped me improve in many aspects of my life and relationships.

It's been wonderful to work with my provider who has been deeply supportive during a very trying time in my life. An improvement . - It would great to have the option to schedule appointments through a patient portal instead of during sessions or telephoning Thriveworks.

I absolutely love and appreciate Thriveworks. I am beyond comfortable with my therapist Doreen and look forward to seeing her each virtual visit. She's helped me grow and remember how strong I really am. Not sure where I'd be today without Thriveworks and Doreen.

My counselor was great and I adored him, he gets 5/5. I received my first billing statement on 1-16-24, the email saying I could pay in part or in full. I payed about a 3rd, and planned on doing the same for 2 more pay checks. Today, 1-31-24, I received an email thanking me for my payment. Their billing department withdrew the remaining balance,over $350 from my account without authorization. I only had $60 in that account. I work in private healthcare, and my practice would never collect without a clients knowledge and consent. If they won’t pay, we don’t use their stores info and take their money, we send to collections and let them do their job. I did try calling, auto it said wait time 20 minutes. I sent an email to their department at 1ish, didn’t hear anything back by end of business day.
