Physical, Emotional, Or Sexual Abuse

Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse can leave you with lingering wounds. These wounds can bleed over into other aspects of life. Seeking help from a qualified therapist can help you break free from the effects of abuse and find healing.

Build your confidence

Learn to set healthy boundaries

Strengthen your communication skills

Various forms of abuse can create unwanted symptoms:

  • Lack of self-confidence
  • Mood swings
  • Anxiety

The therapists at JuneDay Therapy understand the toll physical, emotional, or sexual abuse takes on your well-being. We offer therapy methods that address your unique concerns and promote recovery.

Physical, Emotional, or Sexual Abuse Can Distort Your Reality

People who’ve suffered from trauma deal with symptoms such as:

  • Insomnia
  • Nausea
  • Substance abuse
  • Self-harm
  • Shame or guilt

If this sounds like you, you are not alone. Our team of dedicated and compassionate therapists provides a safe space for you to process your thoughts and feelings. You don’t have to find healing on your own.

Abuse can keep you from living a life of normalcy. Emotional, physical, or sexual abuse can make you feel trapped and unable to move beyond your pain. Whether you experience abuse in the workplace or at home, you may feel afraid or powerless.

Therapy Can Help You Embrace the Life You Deserve

Isolation, manipulation, threats, and other forms of abuse can make you doubt your reality. People who suffer from abuse want to overcome the lingering effects, but they don’t know how. Our therapists work with many people suffering from abuse and can create a roadmap that helps you move forward.

Who We Are

Why Choose JuneDay Therapy

Do you remember the pure spirit you embodied at 6 years old? Over time, life’s challenges can distance you from the beautiful enthusiasm, excitement, and energy you felt for living.

When this happens, many of us develop defense mechanisms – be it anger, striving for perfection, or other distractions – as a way to cope with past traumas, the aftermath of loss, or the weight of having to mask your true identity.

At JuneDay Therapy, we believe you don’t have to feel alone on this journey; you don’t have to cover up who you are or diminish your light. We will use our experience and expertise to help you rediscover the inherent value and lovability of your true self.

Our mission is to guide you towards releasing those burdens, approaching your struggles with understanding rather than blame, and helping you reconnect with the inner person you know is striving to shine.

Physical, Emotional, Or Sexual Abuse

Frequently Asked Questions

Are There Common Signs Of Physical, Emotional, or Sexual Abuse?

While some signs of physical or sexual abuse are noticeable, there are times when they are not. Some victims may suffer abuse from childhood through adulthood. Learning to recognize the signs can help you or someone you know seek help for recovery. 

Shame, guilt, depression, mistrust, isolation, and mood swings are common signs of abuse. Some victims may struggle with memory or behavioral impulsivity. Others may experience nightmares, flashbacks, or an inability to maintain relationships.

Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse can leave anyone with deep wounds. It’s easy to suppress these wounds and try to move forward. However, they manifest in other ways that can hinder your well-being. 

Therapy can help you find relief as you learn to manage triggers and build healthy boundaries. Our therapists take time to address your concerns and develop a therapy plan for healing.

Talk therapy is an effective method to overcome the effects of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. A therapist can help you create strategies to cope with anxiety and other uncomfortable symptoms. Somatic and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) effectively manages lingering symptoms and improves quality of life.
