Santa Rosa Abuse by Therapist Lawyer
Helping Victims of Therapist Abuse Across California
Therapy is a useful way for individuals to discuss the various issues in their lives with a trusted professional. Therapists, psychiatrists and others in the mental health profession have a number of important duties to each patient. When therapists fail in these duties, the patient can suffer severe harm. When a therapist sexually abuses a patient, it is an egregious breach of trust. If you or a loved one has been sexually abused by a therapist, you have the right to take action.
Teal Montgomery & Henderson, with offices in Santa Rosa and Sacramento, is dedicated to helping victims of sexual abuse, including therapist abuse. We understand the courage it takes to discuss these matters, and we are ready to help you achieve justice.
One of the major issues in any cases involving therapist abuse is transference. In therapy, patients will divulge sensitive information to a therapist. In the process of divulging this information, a patient may transfer intense feelings from one person (a parent, former abuser or other person) toward the therapist. When a patient transfers these feelings to a therapist, the therapist holds great power over the patient. The therapist must take great care not to abuse this power. Too often therapists sexually abuse or otherwise take advantage of patients.
Our law firm will fully investigate the circumstances behind your injuries and prepare a full claim for damages. We will also locate every potential source of financial compensation, such as the therapist's insurance coverage. We have decades of experience fighting for those injured by another's wrongful conduct, and we will be prepared to take your case to trial if it is necessary.
The statute of limitations in therapist abuse cases is very complex. Generally speaking, however, the sooner you contact a lawyer, the stronger the likelihood of your claim succeeding.
