Sexual Abuse
Sue Blair
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
The effects of sexual abuse, including childhood sexual assault, can shape how you feel in your body, in relationships, and in your sense of self for years. In Ajax, Pickering, and across Durham Region, I offer anti oppressive, trauma informed therapy for adult survivors of sexual abuse and intimate partner sexual violence. Drawing on more than three decades of work with survivors and training in Narrative Therapy, DBT, EFT, IFS, and somatic practices, we move at your pace to process what happened, rebuild safety and trust, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that harm tried to silence.

Sexual Abuse
Barbara Freedman
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.Ed., OAMHP(Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals-2704-G)
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.

Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Healing from sexual abuse requires safety, choice, and pacing. Therapy can support you in processing trauma, reducing shame and self-blame, reconnecting with your body, and rebuilding a sense of agency. I use a trauma-informed approach and, when appropriate, may integrate EMDR or mindfulness-based work to support healing in a careful and collaborative way.

At Collaborative Care Therapy, we provide compassionate and specialized support for individuals who have experienced sexual abuse. Recognizing the profound impact that such experiences can have on one's mental and emotional health, we are committed to offering a safe, respectful, and confidential environment where healing can begin.

Understanding that the path to recovery is personal and unique, we work closely with each client to develop a therapeutic plan that respects their individual experiences and paces the healing process according to their comfort level. Our goal is not only to help survivors cope with the immediate effects of trauma but also to empower them to reclaim a sense of control and self-worth.

Sexual Abuse
Maor Bernshtein, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
You may have spent years keeping what happened to yourself because even saying it out loud felt difficult. Shame after sexual abuse changes how you see yourself and makes trust and intimacy harder with someone you want to be close to. It reaches into how you relate to people and how much you trust yourself in parts of life far removed from what happened. In therapy, we look directly at the shame and self-blame, including the belief that what happened says something about who you are. What happened no longer gets to set the limits on who you become or what the rest of your life will look like.

Sexual Abuse
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.

Sexual Abuse
Lauren Kalvari
Registered Social Worker, PhD, MSW, RSW
Sexual abuse and sexual trauma can profoundly affect emotional well-being, relationships, self-worth, trust, identity, physical safety, and connection to one’s own body. In some relationships, sexual coercion or abuse may occur alongside emotional abuse, coercive control, intimate partner violence, or spiritually mediated forms of manipulation and shame. Survivors are often left carrying confusion, self-blame, fear, dissociation, or difficulty trusting themselves and others.
I provide trauma-informed virtual psychotherapy for adults recovering from sexual abuse, sexual trauma, coercive sexual experiences, and psychologically harmful relationships. Therapy focuses on restoring emotional safety, rebuilding self-trust, understanding trauma responses, and supporting healing at a pace that feels grounded and manageable. I am also attentive to the cultural, relational, and spiritual contexts in which sexual trauma occurs, including experiences shaped by religious teachings, family systems, silence, or loss of community.

Sexual Abuse
Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Sexual abuse can impact the body and mind long after the event—trust, boundaries, intimacy, self-worth, and nervous system safety. Therapy supports healing through stabilization, trauma processing (at your pace), and rebuilding a sense of control in your body and relationships. You don’t have to carry this alone, and you don’t have to rush the healing.

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.

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.
