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.

Sexual Abuse
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.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Monte Miller
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have helped many women and men deal with past abuse — sexual, physical, and emotional. I will listen to your story and validate your feelings, whatever they may be. You were truly a victim, and I do not want to minimize that pain or your traumatic triggers and reactions. However, I do not want you to be a victim forever. I want to have you become empowered, stronger as a result of your recovery. I want you to be in a place where you are free to love without fear. Anything else than freedom, love, and happiness is letting that bastard beat you, and we just can't have that!
A person's sexuality and ability to have healthy relationships can be greatly impaired by sexual abuse, making someone very sexual or very much against sex. Processing this can give you more control over your own sexuality, however that might look like.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
The effects of sexual abuse can linger long after the experience itself, shaping the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. You may struggle with trust, feel disconnected from your body, or experience shame that doesn’t belong to you. Maybe certain memories surface when you least expect them, or you find yourself avoiding situations that feel too vulnerable or triggering. However it shows up, know that your response is valid—your mind and body have worked hard to protect you.
Healing from sexual abuse is not about "just moving on" but about reclaiming your sense of safety, autonomy, and self-worth. In our work together, we will move at your pace, creating a space where you feel supported, understood, and in control of your own healing process. You are not defined by what happened to you, and you do not have to carry this alone. With care and intention, we can work toward healing, self-compassion, and the ability to fully step into your life on your terms.

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.

Sexual Abuse
Dayna Nelson, PsyD, LP
