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.

Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist, Certified in Holistic Health
I can provide support to patients who are struggling with sexual abuse both past and current. I provide many different types of modalities and encourage patients to choose the path they feel most comfortable with. Recalling all the details can be further traumatizing and research suggests in many cases not necessary.

Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
With specialization in trauma recovery, I have worked with many survivors of sexual abuse. These experiences make it difficult to build trust in relationships with others and it affects the relationship we have with ourselves. EMDR therapy can help our minds and bodies reconnect as we process traumatic events, allowing space to thrive, healing the wounds of the past and experience healthy connection with others.

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.

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.
