Sexual Abuse
Dayna Nelson, PsyD, LP
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Many people will experience some form of childhood sexual abuse, sexual harassment, sexual assault, or exploitation. Sexual abuse victims often experience lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed. Dr. Nelson is trained in trauma informed care and EMDR to help clients heal and process past sexual abuse and regain their emotional freedom.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.

Tina Nickels
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Many of my recent clients have been victims of sexual abuse as children. This is a horrible and well-kept secret for most. I understand the feelings you are experiencing and I want you to know you did not deserve what happened to you. Together, we can walk you through this and past it. If your abuse was years ago, it is time to be free.

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.

Sexual Abuse
Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR-BC®, REAT
Sexual abuse is often held in silence, leaving many survivors carrying deep shame, self-blame, and questions like “I should have done something differently,” even when the responsibility was never theirs. These experiences can impact how you see yourself, your sense of safety in your body, and your relationships, often leading to disconnection, numbing, or hyperawareness. In our work together, safety, choice, and trust come first. I integrate expressive arts therapy as a central part of the process, using modalities such as visual journaling, storytelling, movement, and other forms of creative expression to help explore and express what may feel difficult or unsafe to say out loud, alongside a parts-informed perspective to understand the aspects of you shaped by survival and protection. This work is approached with care and at your pace, allowing healing to unfold in a way that feels safe and supported.

Melissa Kummer Dague
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Abuse of any kind should never happen, but when it does, therapy can be a valuable tool in healing. I began my career at a domestic violence and sexual assault shelter, and am trained in evidence based trauma modalities like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to best address the needs of those impacted by violence.

Sydney Fowler
Counselor/Therapist, MT-BC, LPC
I work with individuals who have experienced sexual abuse and are navigating its emotional and psychological impact. These experiences can affect safety, trust, and sense of self, and therapy focuses on creating a supportive environment where clients can process their experiences at their own pace. I utilize a trauma-informed approach, incorporating talk therapy and offering EMDR when appropriate to support healing and reduce distress. Treatment emphasizes safety, stabilization, and helping clients rebuild a sense of control and self-worth.

Sexual Abuse
Gregg Unterberger
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
Easier said than realized, but sexual abuse doesn't define you. It was a tragedy that happened TO you. It was a horrific violation of boundaries. But with therapy, your worth, your connection to a "good-enough" you can be restored & the shame can be left in the past.

Sexual Abuse
Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
Sex is one of the most intimate parts of a relationship, but when something isn’t working, it can lead to distance, frustration, and shame. As a Certified Sex Therapist with specialized training in helping individuals and couples improve their sexual connection, I offer a space where you can talk openly and work through what’s getting in the way.
Whether you’re dealing with erectile dysfunction, premature or delayed ejaculation, vaginismus, low desire, or pain during sex, these issues can take a toll on both you and your relationship. You’re not alone—and there are ways to work through it. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on emotionally, physically, and relationally, and develop tools to help you feel more connected, confident, and present.
I'm also a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), and I work with people navigating sexual compulsivity, porn addiction, and out-of-control sexual behaviors. If your relationship with sex feels overwhelming or secretive, therapy can help you gain clarity, control, and a healthier sense of intimacy.
Experiencing sexual abuse can leave deep emotional, physical, and relational scars. You may carry shame, fear, numbness, or confusion long after the event itself. It’s common to feel disconnected from your body, your boundaries, or your sexuality—and to question whether healing is even possible.
I have extensive experience working with survivors of sexual trauma, and I approach this work with care, respect, and patience. I’m trained in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, both of which help process trauma in ways that go beyond talk therapy and support healing at a nervous system level. As a Certified Sex Therapist, I also help clients reclaim their sense of sexual identity and connection, whether that means re-engaging with intimacy or learning how to feel safe in their own body again.
This is delicate, layered work—and you don’t have to rush it or do it alone. If you're carrying the impact of sexual abuse and are ready to begin healing, I’m here to help you move forward with support, clarity, and compassion.
