Therapy for Child Abuse and Other Forms of Trauma

If your child has been exposed to physical abuse, sexual abuse, or a situation that was life-threatening, there simply are no words to express how painful and frightening that is. To help children and teens exposed to trauma, we provide trauma-focused, evidence based assessment and treatment.

What Causes Trauma for Children and Teens?

Children and teens can be exposed to trauma that involves the threat of the loss of life or serious injury, including, but not limited to:

  • Physical abuse
  • Sexual abuse
  • Neglect
  • Being threatened with physical violence
  • Witnessing domestic violence
  • Being in a natural disaster, such as an earthquake or a hurricane
  • Being in a motor vehicle accident
  • Becoming seriously physically injured
  • Treatment for Child and Adolescent Trauma

Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is a gold standard, evidence based treatment for children exposed to childhood trauma, including childhood physical and sexual abuse. Dr. Walker is trained in TF-CBT. We offer TF-CBT at Teleois Behavioral Health.
