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.

Sexual 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.

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
Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Making sense of trauma, and the impact of trauma, can be accompanied by the fear that you will never be able to overcome the distress you feel when you remember the experience or when those intrusive nightmares, flashbacks, and negative thoughts come crashing into your awareness. Through trauma-focused therapy we reclaim confidence, hopefulness, intimacy, safety, self-esteem, and trust. I have specific expertise in treating trauma symptoms related to sexual assault, intimate partner violence and emotional abuse, military sexual trauma (MST), childhood and complex sexual trauma, violence, and combat trauma experienced by Veterans. These experiences can impact physical health, and daily life.
Many people will experience a form of trauma in their lives. Trauma can come with feelings of shame, anger, and confusion. Posttraumatic stress is a normal human reaction to traumatic events. However, for some individuals this stress persists and interferes with their ability to live the life that they want. I work with complex cases that sometimes include dissociation, numbness, anger, risky behaviors, and years of avoidance. The treatments I provide are the most powerful and effective treatments available for these conditions. I have expertise in individual, as well as relationship (i.e., with a partner) based trauma-focused therapies. I have experienced many times how these treatments help people gain new perspectives about what happened to them, develop a sense of empowerment over their trauma, and improve their lives. These treatments can also be helpful if you feel stuck following experiences of trauma, even if you don’t have PTSD. If you’re unsure whether you want to discuss your trauma, or unsure which approach feels like a good fit for you, we can discuss your concerns. We will explore trauma-focused care that builds upon your current support, coping skills, and personal experience. I primarily employ time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) such as CPT, PE, and CBCT. (See Individual and Couples Therapy based Trauma-Focused Services.)
In psychological literature, stressors are defined as events and conditions (e.g., losing a job, death of an intimate partner) that cause change and require that the individual adapt to the new situation or life circumstance. Stress processes can include the experience of prejudice events, expectations of rejection, hiding and concealing your authentic self, internalized homophobia, intimate partner violence, discrimination, and ameliorative coping processes that have become bad, ineffective habits. These experiences can be particularly painful when there is social pressure to conceal your experiences, or stigma. I address what it’s like to have no one to talk to about these experiences, and any distress that comes from having nowhere to do this work safely. I practice LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy that considers the impact of minority stress and chronic stress responses. Aside from these stress processes, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and heterosexuals who report any same-sex sexual partners over their lifetime, have greater risk of childhood maltreatment, interpersonal violence, trauma to a close friend or relative, and unexpected death of someone close.

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.

I can provide support to patients who are struggling with sexual abuse both past and current.

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.
