Lexi Eller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
Sexual abuse is a beast, it can consume you in various facets of life and overtake who you once were, impact how you see the world, trust people and view yourself. Control is typically lost and you are feeling alone. I would love to meet you where you are at and help you find relief in some of your trauma processing to be comfortable in your own skin.

Kristee Barker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
I am a trauma specialist. Sexual abuse leaves deep and complicated wounds — not just in the body, but in identity, trust, boundaries, and the nervous system. I work with you to rebuild safety at a pace that feels respectful and empowering, helping you understand the parts of yourself that had to adapt in order to survive. Using EMDR, IFS, and other trauma‑focused approaches, we gently process the memories, shame, fear, and self‑blame that often linger long after the abuse ends. My goal is to help you feel grounded, whole, and in control of your story again.

Allie Scott Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I have extensive experience and training in helping clients heal from sexual trauma. Whether the abuse occurred recently or in the distant past, I can guide you through processes which ultimately can release you from the emotional and physiological symptoms and negative cognitions which often result from such abuse. I have also worked successfully with survivors of human trafficking to become overcomers and to create the life of safety, peace, joy and connection that they desire.

Salutaris Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Sexual abuse can affect a person’s sense of safety, trust, identity, relationships, and connection with their own body. Survivors may carry shame, fear, anger, confusion, anxiety, depression, or difficulty with intimacy—even when the abuse happened long ago. In therapy, I provide a respectful, affirming space to process these experiences at your pace, without pressure or judgment. My style is warm, practical, sometimes humorous when appropriate, and grounded in real life. Together, we work toward rebuilding safety, strengthening boundaries, reducing self-blame, and helping you reconnect with your voice, your worth, and your life beyond what happened.

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.

Crystal Williamson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
Sexual abuse or assault is a type of trauma that affects us terribly deeply and pervasively, to the very core of our sense of safety and identity. EMDR can be very effective to treat this type of trauma and unroot it from our brains and nervous systems so that we can move forward in freedom. Allow me to help you finally find liberation.

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.

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.

Sydney Fowler

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.
