Rory Valentine Diller
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
I believe our sexuality is intertwined with our spirituality... it is sacred and often connected to the most vulnerable and tender parts of our mind, body and soul. When this is violated and disgraced by violence and abuse, survivors face wounding that cuts right to the core. Survivors may struggle deeply with shame, rage, grief, fear, injustice, relationships, sexual functioning, and symptoms of PTSD. I use body-based therapies and my own lived experience wisdom as a survivor to create a safe, empathic space for clients to recover and heal in the wake of sexual trauma.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Sexual abuse is very upsetting to our sense of self because it affects: self-esteem, body issues, boundaries, betrayal, future sex life, intimacy, and trust to name just a few. Recovery starts with gently and gracefully beginning to love yourself, as you are, and then working through the above issues and others. You can learn to have excellent boundaries and have sex without anxiety and fear.

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.

Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
When working with clients who have experienced sexual abuse, I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help them process and reframe the trauma. CPT helps individuals identify and challenge unhelpful beliefs related to safety, trust, power, control, intimacy, and self-esteem that often arise after abuse. We work together to explore and challenge these thoughts, facilitating healing and fostering a healthier, more empowered sense of self, while also addressing emotional and cognitive responses tied to the trauma. This approach is designed to promote lasting recovery and improved mental well-being.

James Foley Sexual Misbehavior, Infidelity , Expert 31 Years Experience
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, SOTS,
I help persons who engaged in illegal sexual behaviors learn how to never do so again.
I also coordinate efforts with defense attorneys, so as to help the clients attorney best defend their client , and I work with that attorney to show the court the client is making real change.
In my coordination with the defense attorney, I work on helping the client change distorted thoughts and behaviors so as to present well at their pre-sentencing interview (PSI), to help show the court that a community (not jail) based disposition is possible for that particular client.
I have a great track record in assisting attorneys in doing their job of helping their client get the best possible disposition of the case.

Erika Shershun
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I'm passionate about helping survivors of sexual abuse to heal. I don't want others to spend years and years as I did, trying to get the support they need. For this reason, my work focusses on eliminating your symptoms and getting you the results you want. Some therapist say we never heal, that is not my experience. I'm the author of the Healing Sexual Trauma Workbook (available in four languages), and the Healing Sexual Trauma Guided Journal will be released in fall 2024. My Sexual Trauma Clinical Training course for therapists is available through PESI, and the Healing Sexual Trauma Course for survivors will be available sometime in 2024 at HealingSexualTrauma.com

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
Healing from the profound impact of sexual abuse is a journey of reclaiming one's soul and wholeness. 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.

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.
