Sexual Abuse
Feel To Heal Psychotherapy, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Navigating the trauma of sexual abuse in therapy requires a compassionate and tailored approach to healing. By integrating modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), individuals can embark on a journey towards healing and empowerment.
EMDR can be particularly beneficial in processing the deep-seated emotional wounds associated with sexual abuse. This therapy assists individuals in reprocessing traumatic memories, allowing them to alleviate the distressing feelings and negative beliefs attached to the trauma. Through a series of guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps individuals desensitize and reprocess these memories, leading to a reduction in their emotional impact.
ACT, on the other hand, encourages individuals to accept the difficult emotions and thoughts that arise from the trauma while focusing on living a meaningful life aligned with personal values. By developing mindfulness skills and acceptance of their experiences, individuals can begin to detach from the trauma's grip and move forward with a sense of purpose and authenticity.
By incorporating EMDR and ACT into therapy sessions, survivors of sexual abuse can work towards healing the wounds of their past, reclaiming their sense of self-worth, and fostering a path towards resilience and well-being.

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.

Kathleen Shook
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
If you are here to address and work through sexual abuse, first I want you to know how brave you are. Sexual trauma can be incredibly painful to accept and talk about, and therefore, I strive to give my clients full control in the therapeutic space when sexual abuse is the reason for attending therapy. This means you get to talk about it at your own pace. It is never required. And if you are ever ready to process through your experience, I will provide you with a space filled with acceptance, compassion, and respect for your courage.
