Maggie Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
I offer empathetic, non-judgmental support to those who have suffered sexual abuse, whether it occurred long ago, recently, or both. I understand the devastation it causes to one's beliefs about oneself, as well as the way it can color every other facet of life with distrust and fear. The healing process itself is difficult and usually requires patience, perseverance, and the supportive structure of a healthy therapeutic relationship. Together, we can explore and process what happened to you, the ways you continue to be impacted by sexual abuse, and how you can find empowerment and transformation through healing and therapy.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In working with patients who have experienced sexual abuse, I offer specialized support tailored to their needs. This involves creating a safe and compassionate environment for them to explore their experiences and emotions. Through therapy, we address trauma symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD, and develop coping strategies for managing triggers and flashbacks. I also provide education about trauma and its effects, as well as guidance on self-care and building resilience. The therapeutic process focuses on empowering survivors, promoting healing, and restoring a sense of agency and control over their lives.

Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When the foundation of trust shaken (if not feeling broken) through experiences of trauma, the approach to restoring one's life must always be one of sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Without this, there will always be a risk that it will never feel safe enough to heal.
Rick Rodgers
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, CADC, CCTP, RYT 500
Sexual abuse causes low self-esteem and traumatic. Bodily reactions that we cannot control. Through processing the trauma and gaining skills while also meditating, I can help to change the way you see our trauma and change the way our body reacts.
