Sexual Abuse
Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Surviving sexual abuse can leave a profound impact on an individual’s nervous system, emotional regulation, and interpersonal relationships. Utilizing evidence-based, trauma-informed modalities—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)—I help clients safely process traumatic memories and disrupt survival patterns like hypervigilance, dissociation, and shame. Our clinical work focuses on restoring somatic safety, processing complex trauma, and reclaiming personal autonomy.

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.

Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I work with survivors of sexual abuse from a trauma-informed, non-blaming, and empowerment-focused perspective. Sexual abuse can have profound impacts on self-trust, boundaries, intimacy, and the nervous system, and each survivor’s experience is unique. In therapy, we move at your pace, centering safety, consent, and your autonomy in deciding what feels manageable to address.
Our work may include processing trauma, exploring its impact on relationships and self-concept, rebuilding a sense of safety in your body and mind, and strengthening boundaries. Therapy is a space to reclaim your voice, rebuild trust in yourself and others, and develop resilience and coping strategies that support healing on your terms.

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
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.

Sexual Abuse
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Sexual abuse often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.
