Arlene Drake is a Los Angeles-based psychotherapist who specializes in trauma therapy, PTSD treatment and general emotional challenges facing survivors of sexual abuse. For twenty-five years, Arlene has been on the cutting-edge of treatment for sexual abuse survivors. Her innovative therapeutic tools help adult abuse survivors take responsibility for their own recovery so that they may reach their full human potential.

What makes Arlene’s approach as a sex abuse therapist unique, is her emphasis on group psychotherapy. Arlene's groups provide a safe haven of understanding and break the “code of silence and shame”. Many victims of sexual abuse struggle with relationships, suffer from anxiety and/or depression and generally must contend with a reduced sense of self-worth. Group therapy ultimately accelerates the recovery process by encouraging adult abuse survivors to support one another.

Arlene believes clients must ultimately take responsibility for their own recovery. Her ground-breaking therapeutic approach is designed to bring an end to endless therapy. Clients are guided to “graduate” from group therapy and take charge of their own lives. Arlene’s ”graduates” emerge from therapy feeling more confident and better able to realize their full personal and professional potential.

For those unable to attend Los Angeles group psychotherapy sessions in person, Arlene offers online therapy. Please use this website to contact Arlene Drake directly to schedule your own psychotherapy online.
