Sexual Abuse
Shelly Melroe
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Experiences of sexual abuse and other sexuality traumata are a visceral violation of you as a person. They can leave you not only feeling ashamed and guilty but also physically stuck in a state of feeling trapped. Used polyvagal-based neural interventions, Shelly will work with you to restore a felt sense of safety. She can guide you through healing from additional wounding caused by people saying you should have done something to get away. Shelly will help you understand that, biologically, your body has an automatic instinct to collapse and cooperate in a last resort attempt of survival. Unfortunately, it can lead your system to stay stuck in a state of disconnection, going through motions. Mind-body therapies can help you restore your sense of self and a felt sense of safety so you can fully engage in life.

Many of our therapists work with sexual abuse survivors. We feel that sexual abuse survivors need and deserve a safe and secure place to discuss their pain and survivor-hood. Dr. Sanness and Dr. Nelson specialize in trauma. Dr. Sanness also specialized in Complex Trauma (repeated trauma that has occurred over developmental time periods throughout the life-span).

Dr. Kimberly E. Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, APIT
A significant portion of my client base have experienced childhood and adult sexual abuse. Not infrequently the abuse may be by a family member or someone you know. Surviving the abuse is an important achievement. Being able to confront, process and successfully move forward in life is an important goal that takes sensitivity, trust and an experienced therapist. I strive to provide this to my clients on their path to healing.
