I found that sex therapy assumes husbands of female sex abuse survivors are FULLY SEXUALLY…read moreEXPERIENCED MEN. In some cases such men have for many years accommodated abuse-related sexual restrictions and prohibitions which severely curtail the couple's enjoyment of sex. And in some cases (like mine) we did not fully understand that because we both met in our late teens and had had no other partners. My limited experience also led me to assume women generally don't like sex much at all, The assumption of lots of previous experience is also odd given that they preach monogamy, secure attachment, avoiding affairs and look down on casual sex. Where are you supposed to get the "corrective" actual experience? We wasted a huge amount of time in sex therapy (total of six therapists over 25 years, (including two at Awakenings Counseling for Couples and Sex Therapy which I employed individually) where the problem was treated too much like a simple desire discrepancy, with predictable remedies of better emotional communication and candlelight dinners -- none of which ever helped our sex life. We didn't have the experience perspective to see that her childhood sexual abuse was severely curtailing our sex life. We didn't know enough to bring it up, and they weren't insightful enough to ask. If you pursue sex therapy, ask very direct questions. Do not rely on the therapist to uncover fundamental issues. Be very explicit and forthcoming. I found that many sex therapists are surprisingly shy and reluctant to sound too "pornographic", and too often wave their hands with generalities, like responding to my specific question about what women in normal relationships do with a non-answer like "oh, women are all different". Save time by first getting a basic understanding of where sex therapists are coming from. Start by reading Dr. Laurie Watson's excellent book, "Wanting Sex Again".

Everyone is a little broken...it's how you glue everything back together that makes you who you are today. Sometimes you need to fix the fix to really heal or cope. Dr. Ryan came recommended to by another therapist of a close friend of mine. I called and made an appointment and have been seeing Dr. Ryan off and on for almost 3 years. Never having been to a therapist I didn't know what to expect. I mean I watched the Sopranos, and every other stereotypical show about "shrinks" so I already had some preconceived notions about therapy. All were shattered by Dr. Ryan. He's a very calm, soft spoken personable individual. He doesn't push you to come out of your shell, but at the same time he holds you accountable for what you are there for. He's easy to talk to and very insightful. I even had homework which aided me in developing certain skills. I can honestly say that the relationship I have with Brit (some of you have met my ever present +1) is stronger and more fulfilling because of the sessions I've had with Doc. He's helped me become a better communicator and has aided me in understanding what are rational and irrational feelings and more so how to convey that to someone when I didn't start out with the appropriate vocabulary to express my feelings or thoughts.

Think long and hard when they question you child's pediatric doctor, her current psychologist, and every prior evaluation for a diagnosis that they state they don't treat and pushing that diagnosis on your child before even meeting with them 1 time.

My family…read morewent through an extremely acrimonious divorce, and by the time all was said and done, the Court found my ex to have been engaging in extreme custodial interference. When I attempted to tell the "practitioner" here that there was a case of extreme custodial interference going on and that the interviews with my child would be slanted since due to my almost non-existent custodial time and their restrictive schedule let the other parent to bring the child to every session, which without a doubt skewed the results and the course of action they took. This whole thing drew a horrible experience for my child and me out by almost an additional year. The Court, upon seeing the final report, immediately sent us to another practice, where a thankfully competent therapist was able to properly identify the issue and FIX it so our child could have two parents in their life. Even with that info, these people never acknowledged they might have made a mistake--so I sued them to try and stop them from doing this to anyone else. They won the motion to dismiss because their lawyer kept throwing technicalities out until one stuck. In my opinion, this is the worst type of situation; harming a family like this because they wouldn't take any input (which is actually a violation of their professional code of ethics), then refusing to acknowledge any mistakes. (We all make them, but refusing to acknowledge them only perpetuates bad behavior.) Instead, they used their resources to get out of any responsibility. If you have a choice, I would currently urge you to GO SOMEWHERE ELSE and SPEAK UP if something bad is happening. There is an EPIDEMIC of children being cut off from having a relationship with both parents and practices like this just enable it. P.S. I would love to one day take this down and replace it with a story of how they learned from their mistakes and educated themselves to stop the enabling of needlessly damaged children. After all, children aren't divorcing either parent or caretaker and no one should enable bad behavior.

*UPDATE Global wanted to negate my review. I posted the letter received where Optum is…read morere-educating them for poor practices. Actions were taken against Global Outreach Telehealth Rehabilitation, INC by the VA vendor relations for their failings as a mental healthcare provider and have had to be re-educated on how to properly manage military veterans' care and properly file reports to the VA. This company could cost a veteran their benefits and are currently at risk for losing the VA Optum contract if they don't straighten up. I know certain people who do the authorizations and approvals for referrals have said they will no longer refer veterans there. I would like to start by saying I hope my review stresses the importance of veterans not using Global Outreach Telehealth Rehabilitation, a company that is doing more harm than good to not just my veteran, but many veterans. I'm standing up for my husband and the many other veterans who should not have to go through what this company is doing to them! They have caused so much stress where there really should not have been any and all they had to do was their JOB! Global had not sent in the required paperwork showing over 50 veterans had been receiving care with them, including my husband. They tried to blame the VA for not giving them additional authorizations for more appointments. However, it was not the VA's fault. I was told by the office manager that the notes of the providers were very thorough. Unfortunately, because of one of the owners and her mishandling of things, none of the providers notes actually made it to the VA. Rosiland, one of the owners who also has a lawsuit that was filed against her by her own company, really does not need to be in a position that involves anything dealing with the mental health of others. She really has no clue. She would rather talk over you and not accept that the company has made errors, instead of trying to understand what errors were made and how she could correct them. We now understand why providers have up and quit so they could get their good name away from the tragedy that is Global. We were also told that in an emergency, like suicidal ideation, we were to call her, Rosiland. Rosiland does not hold any credentials as a licensed metal health professional. She has no business whatsoever dealing with a crisis. This company also screens its calls, so if you are ever trying to figure out why something is happening you might as well forget it. They also lie or try to make it seem like they handled the problem when in actuality they did not. I called many times to find out why the paperwork had not been submitted to the VA so my husband wouldn't have a 4-6 week lapse in care, at minimum. I kept getting told it was taken care of, that requests had been submitted. When I spoke with the VA, I was told they were still waiting for documentation. After many calls to Global I would come to learn that no, nothing had been submitted to the VA because Rosiland had to read through ALL of the records before submitting. When I asked if it takes 4-6 weeks to get authorizations approved, why didn't they start 6 weeks earlier? I was told by Rosiland that this is how they always do it. I've never had a mental health facility do that, even the VA was shocked. I've also never experienced the lack of professionalism from a mental health facility that I did with Global. I'm grateful the VA actually alerted me to what was going on and they have helped me get my husband's care transferred to someone who knows the policy and procedures of Optum and Care In The Community as well as being a company that is actually helping my husband. He has made more progress in the couple of weeks he has been with the new mental health provider than he made the entire 1 year and a half that he was seen at Global. Please don't even entertain the idea of sending someone you love here. There are much better companies out there that will care about your loved one.
