Sexual Abuse
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Sexual abuse often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.

Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC, EMDRT
I am trained in EMDR, a highly effective method for treating complex and deeply rooted trauma to alleviate symptoms and remove the impact of triggers that may be affecting your daily life.

Sexual Abuse
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.

Sexual Abuse
Grace Judd
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LAMFT
Sexual abuse leaves marks that are often invisible but profoundly felt—shaping how you see yourself, your body, your safety, and your relationships, sometimes long after the event is over. Many survivors come in feeling confused about why they’re overwhelmed, ashamed, disconnected, or mistrustful of others… without realizing how deeply the experience has woven itself into their nervous system and worldview.
I offer a deeply compassionate, trauma-informed space where nothing is rushed and nothing about your reactions is “too much.” We work gently to understand how the trauma has impacted you, rebuild a sense of safety in your body, and process the memories and beliefs that still weigh on you. Through attuned support and evidence-based approaches, we reconnect you with your inner strength, self-worth, and autonomy—helping you reclaim the parts of yourself that were never truly lost.

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.

Sexual Abuse
Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Sexual abuse is considered treatable using hypnotherapy, which is often utilized to help survivors process trauma, regain self-worth, and reduce PTSD symptoms like flashbacks. It works by addressing subconscious beliefs and emotions in a safe, controlled manner. Experts like Dr. Nancy Irwin suggest it can transform anger and shame into empowerment.
If you have suffered from sexual abuse, I am right here to help you recover and heal. I will help you transform yourself into a new you. Of course, I use Dicit hypnotherapy. Patients with this disorder are getting resilient in no time and living a happy life now. So should you.

Sexual Abuse
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.

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.

Sexual Abuse
Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Surviving childhood sexual abuse can leave deep emotional wounds that affect how you see yourself, your body, and your relationships. Maybe you struggle with trust, boundaries, or intimacy, feeling disconnected from yourself or others. You might carry shame, self-blame, or guilt, even though you were never at fault. Perhaps you avoid certain situations, experience flashbacks, or feel trapped in patterns of fear, hypervigilance, or emotional numbness. Even when you try to move on, the past can still feel painfully present, shaping how you navigate relationships, self-worth, and even your sense of safety in the world. This isn’t something you should have to carry alone.
Healing is possible. Using Post-Induction Therapy (PIT), I help survivors of childhood sexual abuse unravel the toxic shame and false beliefs that keep them stuck in self-doubt, fear, or emotional disconnection. Many survivors struggle with a deep sense of unworthiness because of what was done to them, but therapy helps separate the past from their identity. With Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), we can reprocess painful memories without reliving the trauma, helping your brain release the emotional charge so those experiences no longer define your present. You deserve to feel safe, whole, and in control of your own body and emotions. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means reclaiming your life, your boundaries, and your sense of self, free from the weight of the past. You are not broken, and you are not alone.

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.

Sexual Abuse
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.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
The effects of sexual abuse can continue long after the experience itself has ended.
You may struggle with trust, shame, anxiety, self-worth, boundaries, emotional overwhelm, or difficulty feeling safe in relationships and intimacy.
Many survivors carry these burdens silently for years.
I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can process what you've been through, reduce its ongoing impact, reconnect with yourself, and move toward healing at a pace that feels safe, supportive, and empowering. I help you rebuild trust in yourself, strengthen your sense of safety, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Phoenix's extreme summer heat and sprawling, car-dependent geography contribute to social isolation and depression, with many residents spending months in largely indoor environments with limited organic social contact. The city has grown rapidly through domestic migration, and therapists frequently work with the disconnection and loneliness that can accompany life in a place where many people lack long-established roots and community ties. Phoenix has a significant veteran population, and therapists specializing in military trauma, PTSD, and veteran family concerns are well represented. Banner Health and Dignity Health provide major institutional mental health resources, with a large private practice community serving Scottsdale, Tempe, and the East Valley.
