Attorneys Helping Victims of Psychologist Sexual Abuse
People who visit psychologists and other therapists do so to feel safe, secure and to improve their overall emotional health. Unfortunately, some therapists prey on the vulnerabilities of their patients in order to sexually abuse them, including underage patients. Victims of therapist abuse often have difficulties dealing with the many physical and psychological effects that the abuse can have.

We provide experienced representation for abuse victims in order to pursue the accountability and compensation that they deserve.

Emotional Effects of Therapist Abuse
Therapists are trusted by many people with their inner-most secrets, and often, people who are sexually abused by their therapists will have to deal with a wide range of emotional and psychological effects that can include:
- Anger
- Guilt
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Suicidal thoughts
Additionally, rehabilitation and counseling after abuse is more difficult due to the lack of trust that patients will now have in the therapy process. If you or someone you love has been the victim of abuse, you deserve to get justice and closure in order to begin the recovery process and move forward with your life.
