Sexual Abuse
Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Experiences of sexual abuse can deeply impact emotional safety, attachment, identity, and trust in both yourself and others. I provide a trauma-informed, attachment-based space where your story is honored and healing unfolds at a pace that feels safe.
Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), we gently work with parts that may carry fear, shame, anger, numbness, or self-blame. Through a developmental and Emotionally Focused lens, we explore how early attachment injuries may shape current relational patterns. Therapy focuses on nervous system regulation, restoring boundaries, rebuilding self-trust, and strengthening secure internal attachment.

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.

Whole Wellness Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Sexual abuse can sometimes feel impossible to overcome. Healing looks differently for everyone, but it is never linear. At Whole Wellness Therapy, we take the time to look at how our clients who have experienced any form of sexual abuse have been impacted by it, and how to create/restore a sense of internal and emotional safety for our clients.

Sexual Abuse
Cindy Lee Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I specialize in working with adults who have experienced sexual abuse, sexual assault, or other forms of sexual trauma. These experiences can have lasting effects that extend far beyond the event itself, often impacting sense of safety, self-worth, boundaries, intimacy, and the ability to feel present in one’s body or relationships.
Survivors may experience a wide range of symptoms, including anxiety, shame, emotional numbness, dissociation, difficulty trusting others, or feeling disconnected from themselves. These responses are adaptive and often reflect how the nervous system has learned to survive overwhelming experiences.
My approach is trauma-informed, paced, and centered on safety and consent at every stage of the therapeutic process. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) to help process traumatic experiences in a way that reduces emotional charge while supporting nervous system stability. These modalities allow us to work at a depth that is effective without requiring you to relive or re-experience trauma in detail.
I also integrate nervous system regulation and attachment-focused work, with particular attention to rebuilding internal safety, boundaries, and self-trust. Therapy is guided by your pace and readiness, with a strong emphasis on maintaining control and choice throughout the process.
Over time, clients often experience reduced trauma symptoms, increased emotional and somatic regulation, and a greater sense of agency, safety, and connection in their lives and relationships.

Sexual Abuse
Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Sexual abuse treatment is extremely vulnerable work and I deeply respect survivors for their courage to address this in therapy. I find that developing a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is the first essential step in this work. Once that is established, we might use various nervous system regulation techniques (including polyvagal and other mindfulness-based approaches) to make sure you feel sturdy enough to dive into this work. Most often EMDR or Flash Technique (an offshoot of EMDR) are the modalities of choice in processing the abuse. I follow my client's pace and readiness every step along the way.

Sexual Abuse
Marley Cote
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, MS
Shame. Disgust. Betrayal. Terror. Panic. Helplessness. Rage. These are the common emotions that haunt or plague many survivors of sexual abuse. Further, sexual abuse can leave survivors feeling fragmented and dehumanized. These emotions are often only one part of struggling to survive, with flashbacks and trauma responses often frustrating or flooding survivors. Many survivors often wonder if they will ever feel "normal" again after what has happened, if it is even possible to find safety again within and outside of themselves. In my work with survivors, my clients discover what it means to be grounded again within their bodies, to find their bodies safe again, and to release trauma that has limited them for so long.

Sexual Abuse
Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Trauma-informed support for survivors of sexual abuse, sexual assault, coercion, exploitation, boundary violations, unwanted sexual experiences, and other forms of sexual trauma. These experiences can shape far more than memories alone. They may impact the nervous system, sense of safety, identity, relationships, trust, boundaries, sexuality, spirituality, self-worth, and one's relationship with the body.
Sexual trauma is often carried not only in thoughts and emotions, but also in the body itself. It may show up through hypervigilance, dissociation, numbness, chronic tension, difficulty trusting, difficulty identifying needs, feeling disconnected from bodily sensations, challenges with intimacy, shame, self-blame, or a persistent sense of unsafety. Many of these responses reflect the intelligence of a nervous system that adapted in order to survive overwhelming, violating, or unsafe experiences.
My approach is grounded in the belief that healing cannot be rushed, forced, or imposed. Particular care is given to choice, consent, autonomy, pacing, and creating a safe-enough therapeutic space where your experiences, boundaries, and needs are respected. This work honors the reality that healing often unfolds in nonlinear ways and that every survivor's journey is unique.
Using EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, polyvagal-informed practices, parts work, expressive arts, neuropsychotherapy, attachment-focused approaches, and liberation-oriented healing, therapy supports processing traumatic experiences while gently reconnecting with the body, nervous system, emotions, and inner wisdom. Attention is given not only to what happened, but also to the protective strategies, adaptations, and survival responses that emerged in response to trauma.
The goal is not simply to reduce symptoms or move beyond the past. It is often about reclaiming connection with yourself, your body, your voice, your needs, your boundaries, your choices, and your capacity for trust, pleasure, intimacy, and self-determination. Healing is approached with deep respect for your resilience, your pain, your pace, and your right to define what recovery means for you.

Sexual Abuse
Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW

In my practice, I offer a sanctuary for individuals grappling with the deep scars left by such experiences, focusing on the process of soul retrieval and the reclamation of lost parts of the self. This work is about more than healing physical wounds; it's about addressing the deep soul loss that occurs in the wake of sexual abuse. Together, we embark on a path of recovery, utilizing a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that honors your pace and the depth of your experiences. Through targeted therapeutic strategies, we will explore avenues for healing, empowerment, and the reintegration of your true self, aiming to restore a sense of safety, dignity, and personal power. My commitment is to support you in this deeply personal journey towards reclaiming your wholeness and rediscovering a life defined not by trauma, but by resilience and renewal.

Sexual Abuse
Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The effects of sexual abuse can extend far beyond the abuse itself, influencing how you see yourself, relate to others, and move through the world. Whether the abuse occurred in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood, you may experience anxiety, depression, PTSD, shame, guilt, fear, emotional numbness, intrusive memories, nightmares, difficulty trusting others, or feeling disconnected from your body. These responses are common reactions to trauma—they are not signs of weakness or personal failure.
At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a safe, compassionate, and trauma-informed environment where you can begin healing at a pace that feels right for you. We understand that talking about sexual abuse can feel overwhelming, and there is never pressure to share more than you are ready to discuss. Building safety, trust, and emotional stability is an essential part of the healing process. Using evidence-based approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, grounding techniques, and other trauma-informed interventions, we'll work together to process traumatic memories, reduce distressing symptoms, challenge shame-based beliefs, strengthen coping skills, and help your nervous system move out of survival mode.
Healing from sexual abuse is about more than reducing symptoms—it's about reclaiming your voice, restoring your sense of safety, rebuilding trust in yourself and others, and reconnecting with your strengths, identity, and self-worth. Throughout therapy, you'll be supported in developing healthy boundaries, increasing self-compassion, and creating relationships built on safety, respect, and mutual care. While the impact of sexual abuse can be profound, it does not define who you are or what your future can hold. With compassionate support and evidence-based treatment, healing is possible. You deserve a space where your experiences are honored, your story is respected, and your recovery is supported every step of the way.

Sexual Abuse
LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Sexual Abuse Recovery: Experiences of sexual abuse can leave deep emotional, physical, and relational wounds that may affect how you feel in your body, how you trust others, and how you relate to intimacy, safety, and control. You may struggle with anxiety, shame, numbness, flashbacks, boundaries, intimacy challenges, or feeling disconnected from yourself in ways that are difficult to explain or fully understand.
As a therapist, sexologist, and trauma-informed practitioner, I provide a safe, grounded, and compassionate space to process what happened at your own pace. Together, we focus on helping your nervous system feel safer, understanding how the trauma has impacted your present life, and gently working through the emotional layers that may still be held in the body and psyche.
This work is not about rushing healing or forcing forgiveness. It is about restoring your sense of safety, rebuilding trust in yourself, and reclaiming your body, voice, and personal power in a way that feels fully supported and deeply respectful of your experience.
