{"id":1044,"name":"Jill Denton","url":"","description":"Jill Denton, MFT, CSAT, CCS, didn't grow up intending to be a therapist; in fact, in college she wanted to become a screenwriter. She was accepted into UCLA's film school for graduate training, but her studies were violently interrupted when she was sexually assaulted at knifepoint in her isolated home. Jill managed to escape with her life, but in the months that followed she could find no assistance in the Los Angeles metropolitan area for her symptoms of posttraumatic stress. Seeing an opportunity to help others in need, she changed her studies to psychology in order to become a licensed therapist specializing in trauma and anxiety. Jill did finally get the help she needed, and her positive experience in therapy informs her work today. In addition to working with trauma, Jill is a certified sex addiction therapist and clinical sexologist.","link":"https:\/\/www.goodtherapy.org\/blog\/author\/jilldenton\/","slug":"jilldenton","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/62770fa71f39969c63aeb9f6132d27c896d0e01c1635280e22dd9c4c16e8bb3f?s=24&d=wp_user_avatar&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/62770fa71f39969c63aeb9f6132d27c896d0e01c1635280e22dd9c4c16e8bb3f?s=48&d=wp_user_avatar&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/62770fa71f39969c63aeb9f6132d27c896d0e01c1635280e22dd9c4c16e8bb3f?s=96&d=wp_user_avatar&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goodtherapy.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goodtherapy.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
