Frequently Asked Questions

Our service addresses various forms of childhood abuse, including physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and exposure to domestic violence. We provide care for both acute and complex trauma resulting from these experiences.

Common effects of childhood abuse on mental health include depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), low self-esteem, difficulty forming and maintaining relationships, and issues with trust and intimacy. Survivors may also experience flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional numbness.

Treatments for survivors of childhood abuse include trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other trauma-informed therapies. Support groups and psychoeducation are also offered to help individuals understand and cope with their experiences.

 

Evidence-based treatments for childhood abuse survivors, such as trauma-focused CBT and EMDR, have been shown to be highly effective in reducing symptoms and promoting healing. Many individuals experience significant improvements in their mental health and quality of life with consistent and committed treatment.

Someone should seek professional help if they are experiencing ongoing distress, difficulty functioning in daily life, or persistent symptoms related to their childhood abuse, such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Early intervention can be crucial for effective treatment and long-term recovery. It is important to seek help if the trauma impacts their ability to form healthy relationships or if they have thoughts of self-harm or suicide.
