Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
The impact of sexual abuse or assault can live in the body and in relationships long after the events themselves—showing up as shutdown, hypervigilance, difficulty with touch, trust issues, or disconnection from your own desire. In a trauma-informed, gentle, and empowering space, we work at your pace to process what happened, release shame that doesn’t belong to you, and help you reclaim safety, pleasure, and agency in your body and intimate connections. Healing is possible, and you deserve to feel at home in your sexuality again.

Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
Sexual abuse leaves imprints on the body, emotions, relationships, and sometimes on faith. I offer a safe, slow, client-led space to process what happened without pressure to disclose more than you want. Using trauma-responsive, parts-informed therapy (IFS/EMDR-informed), we work on reducing shame, triggers, and dissociation, rebuilding a sense of safety in your body, and restoring your ability to choose intimacy on your own terms. This space is affirming of LGBTQ+ survivors.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who are survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Many of the people I see have built full, functioning lives and are often seen as capable, responsible, and reliable by others. Inside, they may carry a private mix of shame, confusion, anger, or grief about what happened, and a sense that they have never really had space to tend to it.
Early abuse can leave traces in many areas of adult life. You might notice difficulty feeling at home in your body; anxiety, numbness, or shutdown in moments of closeness or vulnerability; a persistent sense that you are “too much” or “not enough”; or a tendency to doubt your own perceptions. There may be complicated feelings toward family members who knew, did not know, or minimized what happened, as well as patterns of over‑accommodating, people‑pleasing, or staying in relationships that feel familiar but not truly safe. Sometimes the impact shows up as depression, anxiety, perfectionism, or a feeling of being fundamentally different from others, without always linking it back to your early experiences.
I have worked with survivors of childhood sexual abuse for many years, and this is one of my primary areas of specialization. I know how varied and complex the impact can be. My approach is careful, attuned, and paced to your nervous system. We do not rush into details or push for disclosure. Instead, we focus on helping you feel safer inside your own body and mind, making sense of what happened at a pace that feels manageable, and loosening the grip of shame and self‑blame. Over time, we explore what it means to have real choice, boundaries, and agency in your adult life, including in relationships, work, and family.
My role is to offer a grounded, non‑intrusive space where you do not have to minimize your experience or protect anyone else’s feelings.

Jeni Gutke
Licensed Professional Counselor, MC, LPC
Abuse of all kinds creates negative cognitions and can negatively affect ones feeling of empowerment in the world, in the body and in relationships. Addressing sexual abuse through interventions, such as hypnotherapy, work with internal family systems, DBT and EMDR are very powerful in allowing us to regain the ability to be in our bodies, allow emotions to process and clear, and heal with self compassion and unburdening the past.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
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.

Mun & Mind Therapy PLLC
Psychologist
Experiences of sexual abuse can impact emotional wellbeing, relationships, trust, and one's sense of safety in the world. Healing from trauma is not a linear process, and many survivors carry shame or silence influenced by family, cultural, or societal messages. We provide trauma-informed care that honors your pace, your story, and your strengths while supporting your healing journey.

Michaela Decker
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
Frequently, people who have experienced trauma develop extraordinary survival skills. Often the strategies that were critical for survival, are not sustainable long term and thwart the ability to develop satisfying work, family and/or romantic relationships. Therapy provides an opportunity to become "unstuck" and transcend thinking and behavior patterns that are holding you back from realizing your potential. I specialize in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety and depression, and am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). When distress from a disturbing event remains, the upsetting images, thoughts, and emotions may create an overwhelming feeling of being back in that moment. EMDR therapy helps the brain process these memories, and allows normal healing to resume. EMDR therapy is not complete until attention has been brought to the past memories that are contributing to the problem, the present situations that are disturbing, and what skills the needed for the future.

Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Sexual abuse doesn't effect everyone the same way. As such, there is no one treatment that works equally for everyone. I have been trained to use various forms of psychodynamic (e.g., Supportive-Expressive Treatment, Transference-Focused Psychotherapy) and cognitive-behavioral (e.g., Prolonged Exposure) therapies to help people suffering from the long-term effects of sexual and physical abuse.

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.

I strive to provide this to my clients on their path to healing.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for individuals who have experienced sexual abuse and related trauma, including the lasting emotional effects such as shame, guilt, worthlessness, anxiety, depression, fear, emotional numbness, and difficulty with trust, relationships, and self-esteem. These experiences can have a profound and long-term impact on emotional well-being, identity, and overall quality of life.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to healing from sexual abuse, providing a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients can process their experiences at their own pace. Therapy is designed to help clients reduce emotional distress, restore a sense of safety and control, and begin rebuilding self-worth and emotional stability.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support deep and meaningful healing. Treatment focuses on processing traumatic memories, reducing symptoms of distress, and addressing the underlying emotional impact that often persists long after the abuse has occurred.
Sexual trauma often requires specialized, trauma-focused treatment. While supportive talk therapy can be helpful, deeper healing typically involves addressing the nervous system responses, emotional wounds, and core beliefs formed through the traumatic experience. Brad’s approach is designed to support this deeper level of healing and long-term recovery.
Therapy is collaborative and individualized, allowing clients to feel safe, respected, and empowered throughout the healing process. The focus is on helping clients regain emotional balance, strengthen resilience, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond the impact of sexual abuse, release feelings of shame and self-blame, and rebuild a stronger, more grounded sense of identity, safety, and self-worth.
