Women's Sexual Trauma

            This can include rape, molestation, abuse, or any form of sexual violence committed against a woman as a child or adult.

            Help in this area comes from healing those wounds through therapy and recovery work. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) use can also work in this area. 

Women's Addictions

            This can be in any area of addiction where the woman's life is unmanageable or out of control. It can also be if the woman feels she is headed down a road of compulsions and obsessions and is seeking help before it becomes full blown.

            Help and recovery in this area will be healing the past wounds and moving into a program of positive approach to managing life without these protective mechanisms. EMDR may also be used for these areas along with a 12-Step Approach and group support. 

Relationship Issues

            This can be any area of disturbance with a partner or a family member (including parents). Perhaps things have broken down in this area and need real healing and mending.

            These often revolve around issues with intimacy and lack of communication skills or unresolved past issues. The approach here is to resolve any past issues and to educate and inform the client in this area. Rehearsal and planning new ways to relate with these people are most helpful. 

Marital Issues

            This can be sexual, financial, lack of intimacy, communication, and any other problematic areas that continue to tear away at the marriage.

            Counseling consists of both partners taking ownership of the issues and working together on them. It also means that each person is willing to look at their own issues that may be causing discord. 

Partners of Sex Addicts

            This is a woman who knows her partner is using pornography, visiting prostitutes, having affairs, masturbating, or doing other inappropriate behaviors in the sexual arena.

            Often, the partner is co-addicted to their partner's addiction which causes a loss of identity and other related problems for the marriage.

Due to this loss of self, a special program and group support are very much needed for recovery. (The use of a 12-Step Special Recovery Program for Partners).
