Your Partner in Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence

Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence Therapy | SXUATIONS

Sxuations™ works alongside advocates, healthcare professionals, community organizations, and other providers to support survivors as they continue their healing and rebuilding.

Specialized psychotherapy for survivors moving from survival toward rebuilding.

Led by Taneka M. Bennett, Sxuations™ specializes in psychotherapy for individuals and couples impacted by sexual assault, domestic violence, and relational trauma.

We understand that the impact of trauma can extend far beyond the experience itself. Survivors may find themselves navigating disrupted safety, loss of control, changes in relationships and sexuality, difficult decisions, legal and court-related processes, and the challenge of rebuilding a sense of self and stability.

Sxuations™ provides specialized psychotherapy that creates space to process these experiences, reconnect with a sense of agency, and move forward in healing.
