I will acknowledge your pain, respect the fractures inside you, and honor the trauma that brought you here.

Michelle Labine
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Counselling Therapist, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist
Experiences of sexual violence can have a profound impact on how we see ourselves, relate to others, and move through the world. The effects may show up in many ways, including anxiety, shame, difficulties with trust, challenges in relationships, changes in sexuality or intimacy, and feeling disconnected from yourself or your body. As a trauma-trained therapist, I provide a compassionate, trauma-informed space where you can process your experiences at your own pace, reconnect with your strengths, and move toward healing, empowerment, and reclaiming a sense of safety and choice.

Roger Thiessen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS, M.Div
Approximately 30% of females in Canada, along with many males, have experienced sexual trauma. As a survivor myself, I know its impact. The long-term effects of sexual trauma include shame from victim blaming, relationship difficulties, and even physiological issues, such as obesity. I worked in a sexual assault centre for many years, and have counselled people in the sex industry. As hopeless as things can seem, I know that sexual assault victims can not only survive but thrive, experiencing a life of freedom, fullness and rich relationship.

Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
I have substantial experience facilitating both group and one-on-one art therapy for survivors of sexual abuse. I understand how abuse can distort your sense of self, leaving you feeling disconnected or powerless. Through art therapy, you can safely express and process emotions that may be difficult to verbalize, while reconnecting with your inner strength. The creative process provides a path to reclaim your voice, rebuild self-worth, and restore a sense of control. I am passionate about supporting you in reclaiming your life and your sense of self, helping you move toward empowerment and transformation.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you have experienced sexual abuse, you may carry pain that feels difficult to put into words. You may experience shame, fear, anger, numbness, or confusion about your own reactions. Trauma can affect how you see yourself, how you trust others, and how your body responds in moments of closeness or stress. What happened to you was not your fault.
At Selah Counselling, we approach sexual abuse with deep compassion and clinical care. Your safety and pacing matter. We do not rush the process. We begin by building stabilization and nervous system regulation so your body feels safer before exploring traumatic memories. Over time, we gently process the impact of the abuse, address distorted beliefs that may have formed, and support you in reclaiming your voice and boundaries. Healing is possible. You deserve a space where you are believed, respected, and supported as you move toward strength and restoration.

Transforming Emotions
Psychologist
Sadly, sexual abuse still too often hides in the shadows. Individuals of all genders and sexual orientations often feel compelled to hide their pain from places of shame, self-blame, or fear. Too often, survivors of sexual abuse have not been believed, or have been silenced for others' comfort or in the service of preserving the status quo. At Transforming Emotions, our trauma-informed therapists are ready to help support you through the painful work of healing and recovery at a pace that works for you. We start with a focus on personal safety and building trust with your therapist. Next steps include reducing feelings of shame and and fear, and proceeding to process any memories that haunt you while understanding that those truly responsible for sexual abuse are those who perpetrate it. We end with helping you integrate a new, calmer, more confident and grounded sense of self, helping you live more truly in the present rather than being tethered to the past. Reach out today to help us better understand your unique needs. We will share our recommendations for therapists who may be the best match for you, and we will provide access to a free 20 minute consultation with team members you may be interested in working with allowing you to tell us which team member feels like the right fit for you. Contact us today to take your next step towards healing.

Donna Wigmore Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, CT
I have recently taken an in-depth course on Counselling adult survivors of Sexual Violence. I learned a lot about how to approach dealing with this trauma. In this work, we must move forward gently and cautiously, giving trust between us to build. From the outset, as you are ready, it will be good and effective for you to know there is compassion for what you have experienced. Although the body may not be a safe place from which to work at first, because of this trauma, we will carefully and gradually establish a new way to expand your window of tolerance so that you can feel safe.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Healing from sexual abuse requires a therapeutic space built on absolute safety, choice, and a deep understanding of the nervous system. Drawing on over 15 years of experience in high-intensity trauma and mental health settings, I provide a compassionate, paced environment to help you process the profound impact of this betrayal.
My approach uses a Parts Work lens to understand the survival strategies—such as dissociation, shame, or hyper-vigilance—that your system developed to protect you. We move at your pace, focusing on restoring your sense of autonomy and internal security. Together, we work to help your 'parts' unburden the weight of the past, moving toward a future of genuine healing and reclaimed self-worth.
