Sexual Abuse
Grace Judd
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LAMFT
Sexual abuse leaves marks that are often invisible but profoundly felt—shaping how you see yourself, your body, your safety, and your relationships, sometimes long after the event is over. Many survivors come in feeling confused about why they’re overwhelmed, ashamed, disconnected, or mistrustful of others… without realizing how deeply the experience has woven itself into their nervous system and worldview.
I offer a deeply compassionate, trauma-informed space where nothing is rushed and nothing about your reactions is “too much.” We work gently to understand how the trauma has impacted you, rebuild a sense of safety in your body, and process the memories and beliefs that still weigh on you. Through attuned support and evidence-based approaches, we reconnect you with your inner strength, self-worth, and autonomy—helping you reclaim the parts of yourself that were never truly lost.

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.
