Sexual Abuse
Melissa Drinkman, Pathways To Connection
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, DBH, LCSW
As a counseling group practice specializing in sexual abuse, we provide a compassionate and safe space for individuals to heal from the trauma of abuse. We understand that the emotional, mental, and physical effects of sexual abuse can be deeply challenging, and our practice is dedicated to supporting survivors through their journey of recovery. With a trauma-informed approach, we help clients process their experiences, manage the feelings of shame, guilt, or anxiety, and rebuild their sense of safety and empowerment. Through therapy, we guide individuals in reclaiming their strength, fostering self-compassion, and finding healing at their own pace. Our goal is to support survivors in rediscovering their worth, restoring their confidence, and living fulfilling lives.

Sexual Abuse
Jennifer Kehrle
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sexual abuse trauma can be very difficult for people to bring to therapy due to the sensitive nature of the topic. I take a gentle, compassionate approach to sexual abuse recovery that allows the sexual abuse survivor to maintain control of the pace and intensity of sessions. This provides a sense of empowerment to survivors. I primarily use approaches of somatic work, brainspotting, and IFS therapy for sexual abuse trauma recovery.

Sexual Abuse
Brittany Shannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Sexual trauma can leave a lasting impact on how you see yourself, your body, and your relationships. Many people carry confusion, shame, or reactions that don’t make sense to them, especially when your body responded in ways you didn’t choose. In therapy, we focus on helping you understand those reactions, get rid of the guilt that isn't yours, and process what happened (you don't always have to talk about what happened in order to get better!) using evidence-based approaches so you can move forward with more clarity and actual control.

Sexual Abuse
Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Surviving childhood sexual abuse can leave deep emotional wounds that affect how you see yourself, your body, and your relationships. Maybe you struggle with trust, boundaries, or intimacy, feeling disconnected from yourself or others. You might carry shame, self-blame, or guilt, even though you were never at fault. Perhaps you avoid certain situations, experience flashbacks, or feel trapped in patterns of fear, hypervigilance, or emotional numbness. Even when you try to move on, the past can still feel painfully present, shaping how you navigate relationships, self-worth, and even your sense of safety in the world. This isn’t something you should have to carry alone.
Healing is possible. Using Post-Induction Therapy (PIT), I help survivors of childhood sexual abuse unravel the toxic shame and false beliefs that keep them stuck in self-doubt, fear, or emotional disconnection. Many survivors struggle with a deep sense of unworthiness because of what was done to them, but therapy helps separate the past from their identity. With Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), we can reprocess painful memories without reliving the trauma, helping your brain release the emotional charge so those experiences no longer define your present. You deserve to feel safe, whole, and in control of your own body and emotions. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means reclaiming your life, your boundaries, and your sense of self, free from the weight of the past. You are not broken, and you are not alone.

I specialize in supporting individuals who have experienced sexual abuse by providing a safe, compassionate space to process the trauma and its effects. My approach involves using therapeutic modalities to help people heal, rebuild their sense of safety, and regain control over their lives. I help clients address feelings of shame, guilt, and fear while working through the emotional and psychological impact of abuse.

Glendale is a large Phoenix suburb best known as home to State Farm Stadium and Desert Diamond Arena — a sports and entertainment venue-driven city that coexists with significant working-class and Hispanic communities in its western districts. The city has a large Latino population concentrated in areas like Catlin Court and west Glendale, creating meaningful demand for Spanish-speaking and culturally affirming therapists alongside the more affluent residential communities to the north. Banner Thunderbird Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources, with the broader Phoenix metro therapy ecosystem accessible to residents across the city. Glendale's blend of entertainment-sector workers, suburban families, and working-class communities creates diverse therapy demand that practitioners navigate across a wide range of presentations.
