Sexual Abuse
Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
The effects of sexual abuse can linger long after the experience itself, shaping the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. You may struggle with trust, feel disconnected from your body, or experience shame that doesn’t belong to you. Maybe certain memories surface when you least expect them, or you find yourself avoiding situations that feel too vulnerable or triggering. However it shows up, know that your response is valid—your mind and body have worked hard to protect you.
Healing from sexual abuse is not about "just moving on" but about reclaiming your sense of safety, autonomy, and self-worth. In our work together, we will move at your pace, creating a space where you feel supported, understood, and in control of your own healing process. You are not defined by what happened to you, and you do not have to carry this alone. With care and intention, we can work toward healing, self-compassion, and the ability to fully step into your life on your terms.

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
Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Sexual abuse doesn't effect everyone the same way. As such, there is no one treatment that works equally for everyone. I have been trained to use various forms of psychodynamic (e.g., Supportive-Expressive Treatment, Transference-Focused Psychotherapy) and cognitive-behavioral (e.g., Prolonged Exposure) therapies to help people suffering from the long-term effects of sexual and physical abuse.

Cynthia Leslie

The trauma of sexual abuse can leave scars and affect how one shows up in the world. Dealing with secondary issues, such as lack of trust, fear, and other problems can help.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In working with patients who have experienced sexual abuse, I offer specialized support tailored to their needs. This involves creating a safe and compassionate environment for them to explore their experiences and emotions. Through therapy, we address trauma symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD, and develop coping strategies for managing triggers and flashbacks. I also provide education about trauma and its effects, as well as guidance on self-care and building resilience. The therapeutic process focuses on empowering survivors, promoting healing, and restoring a sense of agency and control over their lives.

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.

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.

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.
