MeToo may have changed a lot, but survivors of sexual abuse and assault still struggle to get mental health care.
"In combination between all the clients who are calling us, regarding accessing services, there is some general feedback that they have been in counseling before but the sexual assault or abuse wasn’t addressed in a full way," says Mills-Trowbridge."I would imagine [it's] because the therapist doesn’t have specialized training.
One alternative is seeking therapy via video or messaging through a service like Talkspace. In 2017, in the wake of #MeToo going viral, the company offered 500 free months of therapy to survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Neil Leibowitz, chief medical officer of Talkspace, said in an email that the company offers its therapists support from trauma experts. Additionally, only therapists with previous experience can treat Talkspace clients with trauma-related issues.
"People are finding different ways to address healing for themselves and their communities that are non-traditional because they may not have a counselor that can address their unique issues," Barlow says.
