Sexual abuse has significant negative emotional consequences that can last throughout one's whole life. Processing the abuse, and all the contradictory feelings that result from it, is essential for our healing. I have worked with many clients who have been the victims of sexual abuse.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Making sense of trauma, and the impact of trauma, can be accompanied by the fear that you will never be able to overcome the distress you feel when you remember the experience or when those intrusive nightmares, flashbacks, and negative thoughts come crashing into your awareness. Through trauma-focused therapy we reclaim confidence, hopefulness, intimacy, safety, self-esteem, and trust. I have specific expertise in treating trauma symptoms related to sexual assault, intimate partner violence and emotional abuse, military sexual trauma (MST), childhood and complex sexual trauma, violence, and combat trauma experienced by Veterans. These experiences can impact physical health, and daily life.
Many people will experience a form of trauma in their lives. Trauma can come with feelings of shame, anger, and confusion. Posttraumatic stress is a normal human reaction to traumatic events. However, for some individuals this stress persists and interferes with their ability to live the life that they want. I work with complex cases that sometimes include dissociation, numbness, anger, risky behaviors, and years of avoidance. The treatments I provide are the most powerful and effective treatments available for these conditions. I have expertise in individual, as well as relationship (i.e., with a partner) based trauma-focused therapies. I have experienced many times how these treatments help people gain new perspectives about what happened to them, develop a sense of empowerment over their trauma, and improve their lives. These treatments can also be helpful if you feel stuck following experiences of trauma, even if you don’t have PTSD. If you’re unsure whether you want to discuss your trauma, or unsure which approach feels like a good fit for you, we can discuss your concerns. We will explore trauma-focused care that builds upon your current support, coping skills, and personal experience. I primarily employ time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) such as CPT, PE, and CBCT. (See Individual and Couples Therapy based Trauma-Focused Services.)
In psychological literature, stressors are defined as events and conditions (e.g., losing a job, death of an intimate partner) that cause change and require that the individual adapt to the new situation or life circumstance. Stress processes can include the experience of prejudice events, expectations of rejection, hiding and concealing your authentic self, internalized homophobia, intimate partner violence, discrimination, and ameliorative coping processes that have become bad, ineffective habits. These experiences can be particularly painful when there is social pressure to conceal your experiences, or stigma. I address what it’s like to have no one to talk to about these experiences, and any distress that comes from having nowhere to do this work safely. I practice LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy that considers the impact of minority stress and chronic stress responses. Aside from these stress processes, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and heterosexuals who report any same-sex sexual partners over their lifetime, have greater risk of childhood maltreatment, interpersonal violence, trauma to a close friend or relative, and unexpected death of someone close.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
The effects of sexual abuse can continue long after the experience, affecting safety, trust, relationships, body image, intimacy, and self-worth. Survivors may carry fear, shame, guilt, anger, or disconnection—but the abuse was never your fault.
I provide compassionate, trauma-informed therapy that honors your boundaries, choices, and pace. You will never be pressured to share details or process memories before you feel ready. Together, we build safety and emotional stability, reduce shame and self-blame, and gently address the impact of trauma. Healing is about reclaiming your voice, your body, and your right to live with dignity, connection, and freedom.

Sexual Abuse
Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Sexual abuse reaches into the most private parts of who we are — our bodies, our sense of safety, our relationship with intimacy, our ability to trust ourselves and others. The shame that so often follows belongs to the person who caused the harm, not to you. And yet it lands where it lands, and it stays until something helps it move.
I work with survivors of sexual abuse from a deeply trauma-informed, shame-free perspective using EMDR, Flash Technique, and ketamine-assisted EMDR for those ready to work at that level. This is slow, careful, boundaried work done entirely at your pace — with the goal of returning you to a relationship with your own body and life that feels like yours again.
You deserved protection. You deserve healing now.

Sexual Abuse
Erika Shershun
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I'm passionate about helping survivors of sexual abuse to heal. I don't want others to spend years and years as I did, trying to get the support they need. For this reason, my work focusses on eliminating your symptoms and getting you the results you want. Some therapist say we never heal, that is not my experience. I'm the author of the Healing Sexual Trauma Workbook (available in four languages), and the Healing Sexual Trauma Guided Journal will be released in fall 2024. My Sexual Trauma Clinical Training course for therapists is available through PESI, and the Healing Sexual Trauma Course for survivors will be available sometime in 2024 at HealingSexualTrauma.com
