Monica Buttafava
Counselor/Therapist, M.S., LMHC
Survivors of sexual assault often report feelings of shame and guilt. The negative emotions linked to the trauma often expose child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse to mental health conditions.
Depression, anxiety, PTSD, attachment issues, addiction, personality disruption, and chronic pain can all be conditions that may develop from such traumatic experiences.
Therapy offers a safe, private space to get help without judgments, a place to talk, process, and understand feelings and ultimately reduce negative effects and symptoms.

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.

Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
Surviving sexual abuse can impact your body, boundaries, relationships, and sexuality long after the event. I offer a trauma‑informed, paced approach that centers safety and choice as we process what happened, address triggers, and support you in reclaiming your body, voice, and sense of self.

Jessica Torres Kreidt
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, NCC, CCTP (CA: LPCC#17935)
My journey in mental health began at the YWCA HOPE Center, where I supported survivors of sexual abuse in processing their trauma and reclaiming their sense of agency. Today, I bring additional tools like EMDR, CPT, and, most importantly, a compassionate approach that meets you where you are. Using these methods, I guide survivors through the complex emotions and challenges they face, focusing on empowerment, resilience, and healing as they reclaim their lives and find peace.

Amanda Kohl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, CTP
Healing from sexual abuse requires a sense of safety, choice, and respect for your pace. You may still feel disconnected from your body, anxious in relationships, or overwhelmed by memories that surface unexpectedly. I use a trauma-informed, body-based approach including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help you process these experiences so you can feel more grounded, safe, and in control of your life.

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.

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.

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.

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.
