The Center for Traumatic Stress Research at UK is a multi-service trauma center dedicated to providing specialized counseling services to trauma survivors.
Currently, the Center is providing individual therapy for women and men who are survivors of childhood sexual abuse. The therapy model was designed to treat those who are experiencing reactions related to childhood sexual abuse such as symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, problems with intimacy, and low self-esteem.

Who is eligible? Any person age 18 or older that has one memory of an incident of sexual abuse can participate in this treatment.
