Sexual Abuse
Marley Cote
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, MS
Shame. Disgust. Betrayal. Terror. Panic. Helplessness. Rage. These are the common emotions that haunt or plague many survivors of sexual abuse. Further, sexual abuse can leave survivors feeling fragmented and dehumanized. These emotions are often only one part of struggling to survive, with flashbacks and trauma responses often frustrating or flooding survivors. Many survivors often wonder if they will ever feel "normal" again after what has happened, if it is even possible to find safety again within and outside of themselves. In my work with survivors, my clients discover what it means to be grounded again within their bodies, to find their bodies safe again, and to release trauma that has limited them for so long.

Sexual Abuse
Emma Esper
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
I have experience in working with both covert and overt sexual abuse, stemming from childhood and/or adult experiences. There continues to be a lot of shame and stigma in coming forward and sharing these stories of abuse. I am there to help guide you to sharing your story, processing shame, and increasing feelings of hope. You are not what happened to you, you are what you choose to become.

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.
