Sexual Abuse
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.

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
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
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We support clients receiving adjunct peer group and other care so that there is a strong safety net for the work. We often support folks through this work for a minimum of three years, though each person is different. Some folks may recover to the point of needing less frequent sessions, sometimes something will activate and more or longer sessions may help for a period of time. One doesn't need to be diagnosed to do this work. Some folks have patchy memories or doubt their memories, that's natural. All are welcome. What is asked is that folks show up with a willingness to meet what's coming up for them as compassionately as one can as they recover. The practitioner will offer lots of support with this as the client is moving through memories, feelings, flashbacks, symptoms, situational challenges, activations...If you have questions, please feel free to ask.
