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
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
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.

Sexual Abuse
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

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.

Sexual Abuse
Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Recovering from sexual abuse is one of the hardest things we can do. It requires a great deal of courage, support, and patience. I have been working with men, women, and children who were sexually abused to overcome the devasting impact it can have. Research tells us that reaching out for support of sexual trauma is really hard. I want you to know if you do reach out, you can get help, and you will recover. Over the past several years, the field of psychology and traumatology has developed new and powerful ways to treat the multiple problems associated with sexual abuse. This stuff works. You don't have to suffer any longer.

Whole Wellness Therapy

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
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
Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Sexual abuse reaches into the most private parts of who we are — our bodies, our sense of safety, our relationship with intimacy, our ability to trust ourselves and others. The shame that so often follows belongs to the person who caused the harm, not to you. And yet it lands where it lands, and it stays until something helps it move.
I work with survivors of sexual abuse from a deeply trauma-informed, shame-free perspective using EMDR, Flash Technique, and ketamine-assisted EMDR for those ready to work at that level. This is slow, careful, boundaried work done entirely at your pace — with the goal of returning you to a relationship with your own body and life that feels like yours again.
You deserved protection. You deserve healing now.
