Counseling Resources
To find a therapist, log on to Psychology Today and search your location via your zip code or city. Once all the psychologist options in your area pop up, look for the following key words under each of their listed expertise: Trauma, Victimization, etc. Peruse each therapist’s bio to determine which ones would possibly work for you. After working with one therapist, you may find that person isn’t the best fit for you. If so, we encourage you to try another one.
