Childhood Abuse Therapy

Helping You Heal from What You Couldn’t Control

The effects of childhood abuse can last well into adulthood — shaping how you feel about yourself, how you connect with others, and how you experience the world. But healing is possible. And it begins with being heard.

At Psychotherapist Network, we connect individuals with licensed therapists who specialize in helping people process and recover from emotional, physical, or sexual abuse experienced in childhood — at your pace, in a safe, compassionate space.

You’re Not Alone - and You’re Not to Blame

Survivors of childhood abuse may carry invisible scars for years, even decades. You might be experiencing:

  • Persistent anxiety or fear
  • Difficulty trusting others
  • Flashbacks or nightmares
  • Guilt, shame, or self-blame
  • Low self-worth or identity confusion
  • Challenges in relationships or intimacy
  • Trouble regulating emotions or anger

These are natural responses to trauma. Therapy is a space to understand them, work through them, and gently move toward a life that feels safer, calmer, and more whole.

How Therapy Can Help

Healing from childhood abuse takes time, and no one path looks the same. Our therapists support you with:

  • Trauma-informed care that centers your safety and control
  • Tools to manage emotional triggers and anxiety
  • Support for reprocessing difficult memories
  • Guidance for setting healthy boundaries
  • A nurturing, judgment-free environment for rebuilding self-trust
  • Approaches that reduce shame and help you reconnect with your strengths

You don’t need to “get over it” — you deserve the support to work through it.

We offer therapy in the format that feels safest and most accessible to you:

  • In-Person sessions near you
