Sexual Abuse
Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel unsafe, ashamed, or disconnected from your body or emotions? Many people who have experienced sexual abuse grow up learning to hide their feelings, doubt their perceptions, or carry shame and fear that was never theirs to hold. You may find yourself replaying experiences, avoiding triggers, or struggling to feel fully present in relationships.
These reactions are not a sign of weakness—they are natural protective responses to trauma. What matters is how you process and work with them now. Together, we can create a safe space to explore your experiences, rebuild trust in yourself, and support you in feeling more grounded, empowered, and lighter over time. You survived for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what healing can look like now.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Healing from sexual abuse is deeply personal, and it often impacts far more than the original experiences alone. It can affect safety, trust, identity, boundaries, relationships, self-worth, nervous system regulation, sexuality, and the way you move through the world.
My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and grounded in creating a space where you do not need to rush, minimize, or explain your pain before you are ready. I understand that healing is not one-size-fits-all, and that survival patterns, shame, dissociation, anger, grief, or confusion may all be part of the process.
Together, we work at a pace that feels safe and realistic for you — focusing on rebuilding self-trust, understanding trauma responses, strengthening boundaries, reducing shame, and helping you reconnect with yourself in ways that support healing, empowerment, and meaningful change.

Rakan Himadeh
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, ISP Candidate
Experiences of sexual abuse can leave deep imprints in the body and nervous system, often long after the event is over. Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP) offer a gentle, trauma-informed way to work with the effects of sexual trauma without having to retell or relive the story. SE helps rebuild a sense of safety in the body by slowly releasing stored survival responses such as freeze, shutdown, or hypervigilance. ISP complements this by supporting the safe processing of emotions like fear, shame, or confusion, helping you stay connected to yourself without becoming overwhelmed. Together, these approaches help restore boundaries, self-trust, and a sense of agency, allowing healing to unfold at a pace that honors your system

Sexual Abuse
Ryan Bittinger
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), DPsychotherapy, LPCC, CAS
Experiencing sexual violence, especially at the hands of someone that you should have been able to trust, leaves deep scars. These can feel too painful or shameful to talk about, leaving you to feel alone with them. Many years of practice in this area of equipped me to work with you at a pace that feels manageable and allows you to examine the many ways you've been impacted. This work can be slow, but the changes clients experience often leave them feeling stronger and more capable than ever.

Sexual Abuse
Barbara Freedman
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor
As a counsellor on the Victim Services VQRP(Victim Quick Response Program)List I have successfully worked with hundreds of clients both children as well as adults who were victims of sexual abuse and/or trauma. For children who are victims use activities from “A Child Sexual Abuse Kit”. The Shame that accompanies this form of abuse encourages its survivors us to feel flawed and inadequate as they internalize the consistent message that their experience is too horrible for words…and, by implication, that consequently THEY are too horrible for words.Such paralyzing and isolating feelings associated with this form of abuse, particularly shame often further results in a need to punish oneself for perceived wrong doing. As many survivors feel that their treatment is “proof” that they are worthless, when rejected by others, they in turn punish further themselves. Self -sabotaging behavior may include poor and self -destructive choices, very often even on an unconscious level.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
