Katherine Coder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC
Sexual abuse is highly traumatizing and can leave a person feeling broken. It can have life feeling empty or that there are parts of oneself that are offline. It can also lead us to have blindspots where we keep choosing abusive people in our lives as we miss the "red flags." To work with sexual abuse in therapy, we will build a foundation of trust together. When we have a good foundation of trust, we invite the body and nervous system to move through the places where trauma exists. Oftentimes, this comes in the form of dissociation, or not being able to recall or be present with what was overwhelming, terrifying, scary and so on. We will use trauma therapy approaches. It is also possible to work with Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy if that is a possibility medically.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Experiences of sexual abuse can have deep and lasting impacts—on how you feel in your body, how you relate to others, and how you understand yourself. Therapy offers a space where you can move at your own pace, with a strong emphasis on safety, choice, and respect. Together, we’ll gently work to process what you’ve been through, make sense of its effects, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have felt pushed aside. The goal is not to rush or force anything, but to support a sense of stability, empowerment, and the possibility of healing over time.

Brianna Gomez
Pre-Licensed Professional, MS - Bilingual Trauma Informed Therapist
Sexual abuse survivors' journey in how they choose to response to such types of traumatic experiences can be very different. There is no right or wrong way to heal from such types of experiences and clients will be validated based on their personal choices rather than pressured to make different choices in their situation. Such types of experiences may leave individuals experiencing difficulties feeling safe within relationships and with that in mind - clients are encouraged to choose their own therapy goals. Frequently the goals in therapy are to establish effective ways to emotionally regulate and to have healthy/satisfying relationships with others.

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in supporting individuals who have experienced sexual abuse by providing a safe, compassionate space to process the trauma and its effects. My approach involves using therapeutic modalities to help people heal, rebuild their sense of safety, and regain control over their lives. I help clients address feelings of shame, guilt, and fear while working through the emotional and psychological impact of abuse. My goal is to empower survivors to rebuild their self-esteem, manage symptoms of trauma, and move forward in a way that supports their overall healing and well-being. Referral to community organizations, like the Survivor's Sanctuary (https://sanctuary.metoomvmt.org/), are also helpful tools for people to use alone or alongside therapy.

Lisa C. Holder
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC
Sexual abuse can be one of the most debilitating forms of trauma for anyone, but especially children. It causes shame and sets individuals up for poor relationships in the future. Often secrets about sexual abuse are kept which adds to the trauma. This can be passed down through generations. Please reach out to me if you have been traumatized by sexual abuse.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for individuals who have experienced sexual abuse and related trauma, including the lasting emotional effects such as shame, guilt, worthlessness, anxiety, depression, fear, emotional numbness, and difficulty with trust, relationships, and self-esteem. These experiences can have a profound and long-term impact on emotional well-being, identity, and overall quality of life.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to healing from sexual abuse, providing a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients can process their experiences at their own pace. Therapy is designed to help clients reduce emotional distress, restore a sense of safety and control, and begin rebuilding self-worth and emotional stability.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support deep and meaningful healing. Treatment focuses on processing traumatic memories, reducing symptoms of distress, and addressing the underlying emotional impact that often persists long after the abuse has occurred.
Sexual trauma often requires specialized, trauma-focused treatment. While supportive talk therapy can be helpful, deeper healing typically involves addressing the nervous system responses, emotional wounds, and core beliefs formed through the traumatic experience. Brad’s approach is designed to support this deeper level of healing and long-term recovery.
Therapy is collaborative and individualized, allowing clients to feel safe, respected, and empowered throughout the healing process. The focus is on helping clients regain emotional balance, strengthen resilience, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond the impact of sexual abuse, release feelings of shame and self-blame, and rebuild a stronger, more grounded sense of identity, safety, and self-worth.

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.

Michaela Decker
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
Frequently, people who have experienced trauma develop extraordinary survival skills. Often the strategies that were critical for survival, are not sustainable long term and thwart the ability to develop satisfying work, family and/or romantic relationships. Therapy provides an opportunity to become "unstuck" and transcend thinking and behavior patterns that are holding you back from realizing your potential. I specialize in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety and depression, and am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). When distress from a disturbing event remains, the upsetting images, thoughts, and emotions may create an overwhelming feeling of being back in that moment. EMDR therapy helps the brain process these memories, and allows normal healing to resume. EMDR therapy is not complete until attention has been brought to the past memories that are contributing to the problem, the present situations that are disturbing, and what skills the needed for the future.
