The ChildSafe Staff
Our paid professional staff includes our executive director, clinical director, billing specialist, bookkeeper, and a group of experienced psychotherapists with specialized training in treating the trauma engendered by child sexual abuse. See below for their profiles.
In addition to providing group, individual, and family therapy for victims and their families, ChildSafe's trained therapists collaborate with human services and criminal justice organizations on child sexual abuse cases. They regularly instruct or attend continuing education in their specialties and offer professional consultation and expert testimony in court cases involving child sexual abuse.
ChildSafe also serves as a training center for professionals who seek expertise in treating child sexual abuse. We offer an intern program for graduate students from local universities, and an extern program to supervise graduates working toward their licenses.
Our therapists see clients by appointment. To get in touch with them, see Contact us. For more information, see Getting started with our program.
