When not appropriately identified and treated in childhood, the trauma that accompanies having experienced the crime of child sexual abuse creates lifelong challenges to victims'/survivors' overall health, well-being and relationship-capacity, as well as their productivity and ability to fully thrive in all areas of their lives. ISUVOA will provide information and referrals for a variety of cognitive behavioral therapist for child sexual abuse survivors. We would make every effort to locate specialized treatment and appropriate community resources around every clients location.

Tool from "Psychology Today"
- Find a Therapist/Group -
Psychology Today the magazine, first launched in 1967, continues to thrive. On this site, we have gathered a group of renowned psychologists, academics, psychiatrists and writers to contribute their thoughts and ideas on what makes us tick. We're a live stream of what's happening in 'psychology today'. Our Therapy Directory provides a comprehensive directory of therapists, psychiatrists and treatment facilities near you.

Tool from "Male Survivor"
- Find a Therapist/Professional -
The MaleSurvivor community provides resources and support for men who were sexually victimized as children, adolescents, or adults. Any person who has been sexually abused - male or female - experiences lasting effects and enduring emotional pain. Most of the organizations that serve survivors of sexual abuse have been created by women for women. Because so few people know that large numbers of males are sexually abused, male survivors have been underserved.
