Sexual Abuse
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Sexual abuse is often spoken about in ways that are either too clinical or too minimized—leaving little room for the actual impact it has on your body, your sense of safety, your relationships, and how you move through the world. Many survivors carry layers of confusion, shame, anger, or disconnection, especially when what happened was not named, was dismissed, or was normalized in some way. Cultural, familial, and systemic dynamics can make this even more complex—shaping whether you felt believed, supported, or able to speak about it at all.
At Nour Counseling, we approach this work with care, pacing, and a deep respect for your autonomy. We don’t rush you into retelling or reliving experiences before you’re ready. We offer S.A.F.E. EMDR (Somatic and Attachment-Focused EMDR), which is especially relevant for sexual trauma because it prioritizes safety, stabilization, and the body’s response to trauma—not just the memory itself. Sexual abuse often lives in the nervous system as much as in the narrative, and this approach allows us to process trauma in a way that is more contained, less overwhelming, and attuned to your capacity in the moment.
Alongside this, we help you rebuild a sense of safety in your body, strengthen boundaries, and make sense of how the impact of the abuse may still be showing up in your life. We also name the cultural and systemic factors that shape how sexual abuse is experienced and responded to, so you’re not carrying that context alone. This work is not about pushing you to “move on”—it’s about helping you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels safer, more grounded, and more your own.

Together, we’ll work to reduce shame, rebuild a sense of safety, and help you reconnect with your strength, voice, and sense of self. You are not alone, and your healing matters.

Sexual Abuse
Carrie Torn
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Carrie specializes in treating trauma using EMDR and her primary focus has been sexual assault and sexual abuse. EMDR helps you heal from traumatic events and stop reliving painful past memories in order to experience life in the present. Upon completion of successful EMDR treatment, you will still remember what happened, yet you will not be overwhelmed when recalling painful memories of the incident.

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
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.

Sexual Abuse
Elemental Self Institute
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Erin, Megan, Farrah, Ryan, and Annie all have extensive experience working with survivors of sexual violence in advocacy, crisis, and counseling settings. Calli also works primarily with survivors of sexual abuse. We believe that psychotherapy can be trauma-informed OR trauma-focused, and the client always has the say as to what we work on, what we discuss, and how/if we approach abuse history. Forcing trauma treatment is antithetical to the healing process.

Sexual Abuse
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.
