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.

Yaffa Dyckman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Sexual abuse can rob us of our dignity, barricade us with shame and guilt, and can take the joy out of our relationships. As a trauma trained therapist, I utilize EMDR resourcing and processing techniques to help people move beyond their traumatic experiences and memories and feel more at peace with the past. I incorporate psychodynamic therapy and STAIR/NST interventions as well. STAIR/NST is a therapy approach that combines both cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment theory.

The tragedy of any type of sexual abuse or sexual assault or incest can live with the victims forever… Unless they work through every emotion known to man in order to release the past, and thrive in the future.

I specialize in providing therapy and psychological assessments for children, adolescents, and adults impacted by trauma, with a particular focus on survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

I have a strong commitment to addressing the unique needs of those who have experienced trauma, including autistic individuals, and have presented on adapting trauma therapy for this population at the Philadelphia Trauma Training Conference. Additionally, I have presented at The American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children Colloquiums. My experience includes peer-reviewed research examining trauma, PTSD, and their connections to ADHD, further reinforcing my expertise in understanding and addressing the complex effects of abuse and trauma.

Rachele Epp
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, EMDR Certified Therapist™
You don't have to continue to carry the pain of what has happened to you. There is freedom from the distress and negative beliefs that cause the pain of what happened to persist. EMDR therapy helps the brain reprocess the trauma so that it no longer controls you. In our time together, you will find deep, inner-healing and build resilience to leave the past and find hope in your future.

Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Sexual abuse is considered treatable using hypnotherapy, which is often utilized to help survivors process trauma, regain self-worth, and reduce PTSD symptoms like flashbacks. It works by addressing subconscious beliefs and emotions in a safe, controlled manner. Experts like Dr. Nancy Irwin suggest it can transform anger and shame into empowerment.
If you have suffered from sexual abuse, I am right here to help you recover and heal. I will help you transform yourself into a new you. Of course, I use Dicit hypnotherapy. Patients with this disorder are getting resilient in no time and living a happy life now. So should you.

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.

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.

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.

Salutaris Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Sexual abuse can affect a person’s sense of safety, trust, identity, relationships, and connection with their own body. Survivors may carry shame, fear, anger, confusion, anxiety, depression, or difficulty with intimacy—even when the abuse happened long ago. In therapy, I provide a respectful, affirming space to process these experiences at your pace, without pressure or judgment. My style is warm, practical, sometimes humorous when appropriate, and grounded in real life. Together, we work toward rebuilding safety, strengthening boundaries, reducing self-blame, and helping you reconnect with your voice, your worth, and your life beyond what happened.

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.

Alexander Fidelman
Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Victims of sexual abuse carry with them emotional trauma that can be addressed and released on the subconscious level.
5-PATH (The Five Phase Advanced Transformational Hypnotherapy) is a comprehensive way to address and release all negative emotions, perceptions and change the inner programs (early life negative beliefs and subconscious decisions) that trigger those emotions and perceptions. It is a also a powerful way to change habits and behaviors by coding in specific behavioral patterns directly into the subconscious mind.
