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.

The number of people who have been sexually abuse is mind-boggling. This issue is much more common than people think. It deeply wounds a person. Many who have been abused feel they are to blame for it. It's important to realize that if you have been sexually abused, it was not your fault.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
I was trained in Advanced clinical Hypnotherapy and as a Breathwork Release Therapist to work with sexual and physical abuse, both childhood sexual abuse and adult sexual abuse like rape and other non consensual abuse. It is important to get to the root or source of our sexual abuse and emotionally release anything in that period of sexual abuse back to the perpetrator(s) in order not to be triggered and project it onto someone or something else, and, not the original sexual abuser(s).

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.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who are survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Many of the people I see have built full, functioning lives and are often seen as capable, responsible, and reliable by others. Inside, they may carry a private mix of shame, confusion, anger, or grief about what happened, and a sense that they have never really had space to tend to it.
Early abuse can leave traces in many areas of adult life. You might notice difficulty feeling at home in your body; anxiety, numbness, or shutdown in moments of closeness or vulnerability; a persistent sense that you are “too much” or “not enough”; or a tendency to doubt your own perceptions. There may be complicated feelings toward family members who knew, did not know, or minimized what happened, as well as patterns of over‑accommodating, people‑pleasing, or staying in relationships that feel familiar but not truly safe. Sometimes the impact shows up as depression, anxiety, perfectionism, or a feeling of being fundamentally different from others, without always linking it back to your early experiences.
I have worked with survivors of childhood sexual abuse for many years, and this is one of my primary areas of specialization. I know how varied and complex the impact can be. My approach is careful, attuned, and paced to your nervous system. We do not rush into details or push for disclosure. Instead, we focus on helping you feel safer inside your own body and mind, making sense of what happened at a pace that feels manageable, and loosening the grip of shame and self‑blame. Over time, we explore what it means to have real choice, boundaries, and agency in your adult life, including in relationships, work, and family.
My role is to offer a grounded, non‑intrusive space where you do not have to minimize your experience or protect anyone else’s feelings.

Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
The majority of my training and clinical work has been focused on helping adults recover from early traumatic experiences. Often, the traumas my clients are working through is rooted in early relational and/or sexual experiences that leave a lasting impact on their formative developmental years and beyond. These early experiences often result in PTSD or C-PTSD, among other challenges.

Libby Shaw
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, ATR-BC, LPAT, ACS
Living with the effects of sexual abuse, whether from childhood or adulthood, can feel extremely isolating, stressful, and at times even dehumanizing. Sexual abuse can make a person feel internally fractured. Counseling that focuses on healing your inner self, developing skills to cope with and regulate emotions, and move forward with confidence in your relationships and in yourself can be very successful. We can work together to outline and achieve these goals.

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.

Additionally, I have presented at The American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children Colloquiums. My experience includes peer-reviewed research examining trauma, PTSD, and their connections to ADHD, further reinforcing my expertise in understanding and addressing the complex effects of abuse and trauma.
