I am so sorry that you or a loved one has experienced sexual abuse. If you would like a confidential place to talk about your experience, Dr. Heto would like to help. Dr. Heto cares deeply about putting an end to sexual abuse, and treating victims with dignity and respect. Dr. Heto began providing sexual assault therapy as a victim’s advocate in 2000 and has been specializing in treatment for sexual abuse since 2005.
Few things have such a traumatizing impact on one’s life as sexual assault. Very often, this is not only due to the grief and loss that a victim experiences after an assault, but also because of the unfair, unbelieving way that family members and society can treat victims. You can feel better, though. And even if you’re not having any ‘symptoms’ per se, it’s very likely that will some day, or that you’d just like someone to listen and believe you fully. The type of therapy that you will do as a recent or past victim of sexual assault is entirely up to you. You don’t have to share your story if you don’t want to. You can talk as much or as little about it as you need. I will trust your instincts and guide you where I believe you may need – never pushing. If I can help in any way, please call for an appointment.
