Dr. Rothenberg understands the difficulty that male survivors often have
discussing issues related to sexual abuse and sexual trauma.
As a specialist working exclusively with male survivors, I always exhibit
awareness and respect for your boundaries and your level of comfort. My
goal is to create a safe environment where men are comfortable
discussing issues that are very difficult to talk about. As always, your
confidentiality is ensured.
