Dayna Nelson, PsyD, LP
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist

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.

Sarah Velazquez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Sexual abuse often takes away a persons sense of control and of self. You could be left feeling to blame for something that wasn't your fault. There is no "right way" to heal from abuse. Call today and we can work together to tailor a plan to best fit your needs. You didn't have a say in your abuse while it was happening, but I work to make sure you will have full control over if and how you work on it moving forward in sessions.

Sexual Abuse
Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
Sexual abuse is a violation of the most intimate boundary there is, and its effects — shame, disconnection from the body, difficulty with trust and intimacy, triggers that seem to come from nowhere — can linger long after the experience itself. This work is sacred to me. Using EMDR and somatic therapy, we process trauma in a way that doesn't require endlessly retelling your story, and we work gently with the body to help it learn, at a felt level, that you are safe now. You are not what happened to you, and healing is possible.

Sexual 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.

Sexual abuse is a complex form of abuse that combines mental, emotional, and physical trespass. Our society still caries stigma and shame around it which adds to the challenge of overcoming it. We will start by establishing safety and distress tolerance skills so that way when you are ready to move into the direct trauma work you feel confident and secure doing so.

Sexual Abuse
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Sexual abuse often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.
