Maggie Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
I offer empathetic, non-judgmental support for those who have experienced sexual abuse, whether it happened recently, long ago, or over multiple periods of your life. Sexual trauma can be devastating and can deeply impact how you see yourself, your body, and your ability to feel safe and trust others. Healing is possible, but it often takes time, patience, and the steady support of a healthy therapeutic relationship. Together, we’ll gently explore and process what happened, understand how it continues to affect you today, and work toward rebuilding safety, self-trust, and a sense of empowerment as you move forward.

Dr. Brittany Jacobson
Psychologist, PhD, CST
You may be living with the impact of experiences that were violating, confusing, or overwhelming.

Ashley Pinto
Therapist, LCPC, CCTP
Sexual abuse can disrupt a person’s sense of safety, autonomy, and connection—often in ways that live on in the body long after the experience has ended. You may notice persistent tension, numbness, shame, difficulty trusting others, or feeling on edge or disconnected from yourself. These responses are not signs that you are broken; they are intelligent survival adaptations shaped by overwhelming experiences.
Through integrative somatic trauma therapy, I help clients gently reconnect with their bodies, restore a felt sense of safety, and release patterns that no longer serve them. Our work honors your pace and boundaries while supporting the nervous system in moving out of survival mode. Healing is possible—not by forcing memories or “fixing” yourself, but by cultivating safety, choice, and self-compassion. Together, we will work toward reclaiming your body, your voice, and a deeper sense of wholeness and connection.
I no longer offer weekly insurance-based 53 minute sessions. After a decade of seeing clients under this model, I've shifted my practice to private pay customized services that better meet the needs of my niche clients. My customized Therapy Intensives are specially designed to offer you a more a more spacious, efficient, and streamlined for a deeper and more transformative experience. They are intended to be short-term and can serve as an adjunct to ongoing therapy with your already established therapist, such as in the case that you really enjoy the work you are doing with them but they do not specialize in an area that I do. I also offer monthly extended sessions (90 minutes to 2 hours) for those looking for a hybrid option, that allows for deeper work as well as ongoing support. Please visit my website for more details on how we can work together.

Dr. Evelyn Comber
Psychologist, L.C.P.C., Ph.D., M.A., M.P.C., M.H.S., B.G.S.
Dealing with sexual abuse, especially childhood sexual abuse, it is vital for you to know you are in control of the therapy. I bring my education, training, knowledge and expertise to the table; however, you have the control over the issue. I will gently encourage you, bring forth questions, but you say when, where and how we will delve into memories. You are not alone, I will be present, accepting, and boundaries will be well established and respected.

Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals who have experienced sexual abuse by providing a safe, supportive, and trauma-informed space to process their experiences at a pace that feels comfortable. Survivors may experience a range of responses, including anxiety, shame, difficulty trusting others, or feeling disconnected from emotions or the body. In therapy, I use a compassionate, client-centered approach that incorporates Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help make sense of unhelpful beliefs related to the trauma, along with building coping skills and emotional regulation strategies. The focus is on supporting healing, strengthening resilience, and helping you regain a sense of control, self-trust, and empowerment in your life.

Faye Williams
Marriage and Family Therapist, ALMFT
Sexual abuse is a systemic and personal issue, affecting the victim in deeply personal ways. Therapy can offer a supportive space to untangle the messages that abuse teaches us about ourselves. It takes time and a gentle approach, and eventually regaining autonomy and sense of self is worth the effort.
