When individuals seek help from a psychiatrist, they place their trust—and often their deepest vulnerabilities—in that professional’s hands. Sadly, some psychiatrists abuse this trust by engaging in sexual misconduct with patients, causing profound emotional, psychological, and physical harm.
Survivors of psychiatrist sexual abuse in Pennsylvania have the right to pursue justice through civil lawsuits. Our experienced attorneys help survivors hold psychiatrists, medical offices, and healthcare systems accountable for acts of abuse, boundary violations, and institutional negligence.
When You May Have a Civil Claim for Psychiatrist Sexual Abuse:
You may have the right to file a lawsuit if:
A psychiatrist engaged in unwanted sexual advances or acts
Boundaries between therapist and patient were inappropriately crossed
The facility failed to properly monitor the provider’s behavior
Complaints of misconduct were ignored or suppressed
The psychiatrist used their position of power to exploit a patient
Even if no criminal charges were filed, civil law in Pennsylvania allows survivors to seek financial compensation and expose misconduct.

Costs of therapy and long-term mental health treatment
Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
