Sexual Abuse
Michaela Decker
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
Frequently, people who have experienced trauma develop extraordinary survival skills. Often the strategies that were critical for survival, are not sustainable long term and thwart the ability to develop satisfying work, family and/or romantic relationships. Therapy provides an opportunity to become "unstuck" and transcend thinking and behavior patterns that are holding you back from realizing your potential. I specialize in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety and depression, and am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). When distress from a disturbing event remains, the upsetting images, thoughts, and emotions may create an overwhelming feeling of being back in that moment. EMDR therapy helps the brain process these memories, and allows normal healing to resume. EMDR therapy is not complete until attention has been brought to the past memories that are contributing to the problem, the present situations that are disturbing, and what skills the needed for the future.

Sexual Abuse
Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
The effects of sexual abuse can continue long after the experience itself has ended.
You may struggle with trust, shame, anxiety, self-worth, boundaries, emotional overwhelm, or difficulty feeling safe in relationships and intimacy.
Many survivors carry these burdens silently for years.
I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can process what you've been through, reduce its ongoing impact, reconnect with yourself, and move toward healing at a pace that feels safe, supportive, and empowering. I help you rebuild trust in yourself, strengthen your sense of safety, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
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. My goal is to empower survivors to rebuild their self-esteem, manage symptoms of trauma, and move forward in a way that supports their overall healing and well-being. Referral to community organizations, like the Survivor's Sanctuary (https://sanctuary.metoomvmt.org/), are also helpful tools for people to use alone or alongside therapy.

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.

Tempe is home to Arizona State University, one of the largest universities in the United States by enrollment, giving the city an unusually young demographic profile and a mental health landscape dominated by the needs of students, young adults, and university staff. Therapists in Tempe frequently work with issues common to young adult life—academic stress, identity development, anxiety, relationship challenges, and substance use—and ASU's comprehensive counseling center is a key resource for enrolled students. The city's location at the center of the Phoenix metro area means therapists are readily accessible across a range of specialties, with practices concentrated in the areas around Mill Avenue and downtown Tempe. Many therapists in the area offer sliding scale or reduced-fee services to serve the student population alongside their full-fee private practice clients.
