Christina Andino
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
In my role as a therapist specializing in sexual abuse and trauma, I am here to assist survivors in addressing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The therapeutic process is a transformative journey that aids in reclaiming a sense of self-worth and propelling survivors towards post-traumatic growth.
Survivors of sexual abuse bear immense pain and trauma, often leaving enduring emotional and psychological scars. Therapy emerges as a potent tool, enabling survivors to embark on a healing path and regain control over their lives.
Within the therapeutic space, survivors find a safe and supportive environment to process their experiences, validate their emotions, and develop coping strategies. Through this process, survivors gain a deeper understanding of the impact of abuse on their mental health, build resilience, and acquire the skills to establish healthy boundaries. The aim is to empower survivors on their journey towards healing and recovery.

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.

Carrie Torn
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Carrie specializes in treating trauma using EMDR and her primary focus has been sexual assault and sexual abuse. EMDR helps you heal from traumatic events and stop reliving painful past memories in order to experience life in the present. Upon completion of successful EMDR treatment, you will still remember what happened, yet you will not be overwhelmed when recalling painful memories of the incident.
