Sexual Abuse
Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in evidence-based treatment approaches for acute and chronic trauma. I have advanced training in the treatment of multiple forms of sexual abuse including incest, intimate partner assault, human trafficking, date rape, and other forms of unwanted sexual behavior by others. My primary approach is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supplemented by ego state therapies.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Tuvia Hoffman
Psychologist, Psychologist, PhD
Sexual abuse is a deeply traumatic experience that can have profound and lasting effects on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. It is important to recognize that healing is possible and that you do not have to face this journey alone. Specialized support can offer a safe and compassionate environment to process your experiences, understand the impact of trauma, and begin to reclaim your sense of self and personal power. With the right guidance, you can work towards healing, build resilience, and find a path to recovery that honors your unique experience and supports your well-being.

Sexual Abuse
Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Sexual abuse is not always violent, in fact, it is rarely violent. I have presented at conferences on non-consensual sexual experiences and how those experiences affect clients. I will never ever tell you that anything you went through was your fault, wasn't "really rape," or is your marital duty. In addition to non-consensual sexual experiences I specialize in treating military sexual trauma. Almost all cases of sexual abuse are compounded by institutional betrayal either by medical professionals, police officers, human resources or commanding officers, or lawyers. Institutional betrayal can make it difficult for clients to trust anyone. I hope that if you are a person who has gone through any of these experiences that you will reach out to myself or other sex positive therapists.

Sexual Abuse
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.
