Pennsylvania Psychiatrist Abuse Attorneys – Fighting for Survivors of Sexual Misconduct by Mental Health Professionals and Institutions

Mental health professionals, especially psychiatrists, are entrusted with an extraordinary level of responsibility and access to their patients’ most personal experiences. When a psychiatrist violates this trust through sexual abuse or misconduct, the impact on the survivor can be devastating, leading to long-lasting emotional and psychological trauma.

In Pennsylvania, survivors of psychiatrist sexual abuse have the right to seek justice through civil lawsuits. Our experienced legal team represents individuals who were abused by psychiatrists and helps them pursue compensation against both the abusive provider and the institutions that failed to prevent or address misconduct.

When Can You File a Civil Claim for Psychiatrist Sexual Abuse?

You may have a viable case if:

  • A psychiatrist engaged in inappropriate sexual contact or advances

  • The therapist-patient relationship boundaries were crossed

  • A healthcare employer failed to act on reports of misconduct

  • Safety measures and patient protections were inadequate

  • The psychiatrist used their professional authority to manipulate or exploit

Even if no criminal charges were pursued or successful, survivors can still pursue justice and financial recovery through Pennsylvania's civil courts.

Damages and Compensation May Cover:

  • Psychological counseling and emotional trauma recovery

  • Medical expenses related to abuse treatment

  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress

  • Lost income, career disruption, or diminished earning capacity

  • Punitive damages for willful misconduct and institutional negligence

Civil lawsuits not only provide compensation but also expose unsafe practices and protect future patients from harm.
