Sexual Abuse
Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Because I have a speciality in trauma processing therapies, folks with past abuse can often find real relief in working through the implications of trauma-not just the memories of these experiences but how the body does indeed "keep the score". Trauma work needs to include both strong relational rapport, education about how trauma impacts on all levels of functioning and processing therapies such as EMDR or Deep Brain Reorienting to assist with deep healing.

Sexual Abuse
Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Experiencing sexual abuse can deeply affect how you see yourself and how safe you feel in the world. Healing from this kind of trauma takes time, patience, and a safe, supportive space. In therapy, we’ll move at your pace as you process what happened, rebuild trust, and reconnect with your sense of safety and self-worth. You are not defined by what was done to you, and together we’ll work toward healing, empowerment, and reclaiming your voice.

Sexual Abuse
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.

Sexual Abuse
Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
What happened to you was not your fault. Whatever you did to survive, however you've coped, made sense given what you were facing. But the effects don't stay in the past. They show up in how you relate to your body, how you experience intimacy, how you trust or struggle to trust. Healing from sexual abuse is possible, but it requires a therapist who understands trauma deeply and can create a space where you feel genuinely safe. We won't push you to disclose more than you're ready to share. We'll move at your pace, helping you reclaim what was taken from you. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Sexual Abuse
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.

Sexual Abuse
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.

Dr. Selma Stainback
Psychologist, PsyD
I look forward to working with people who have survived sexual abuse to help them start to change the way they look at what happened to them, their experiences, how they can create the lives and connections they want and see how brave and powerful they were in the past, are now and can be into the future!

Sexual Abuse
Dayna Nelson, PsyD, LP
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Many people will experience some form of childhood sexual abuse, sexual harassment, sexual assault, or exploitation. Sexual abuse victims often experience lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed. Dr. Nelson is trained in trauma informed care and EMDR to help clients heal and process past sexual abuse and regain their emotional freedom.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.

Sexual Abuse
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.

Sexual Abuse
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.
