Therapists Who Specialize in Helping Sex Workers

Home » Communities Served » Sex Workers

The mental health professionals listed below specialize in treating people who are sex workers with mental health issues that may or may not relate to their work. Sex workers have more diagnosable mental health issues than the general population, with depression, anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Bipolar Disorder being the most common. Regardless of the concern, sex workers deserve an inclusive therapist who understands their work and creates a safe space to discuss their mental health issues.
