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

Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
For over fourteen years, we have supported Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse and those healing from racial and generational trauma, both historic and current, to recover. Our lead practitioner had done personal recovery work as a CSAS/survivor and brings compassion to supporting and facilitating so many others on their own organic healing journeys. We are skilled with one time abuse, ritualistic abuse, torture, some trafficking, and repeated sexual abuse trauma recovery support work. We are skilled with offering compassionate support for dissociation, shock trauma, neurodevelopmental, various Parts Work Models and Systems Models, Inner Child Work, somatics, non dominant handwriting, memory reconsolidation, working with no memories, coherence and integration work, endocrine and immune system integration support...We bring a compassion and well developed capacity that is helpful to this work. We can organically weave in what the client needs and adjust as we go, sourcing from models as diverse as TIST, DBR, IFS -- Internal Family Systems, EFIT, distance CranioSacral, Traditional/Eco-Relational Ways, Ancestral Healing, Attachment Theory, Inner Child Somatic and Expressive Work, Functional and Integrative Care, Intersectional Oppression Care.. to build a rich organic framework for meeting the recovery needs of each individual survivors. We support clients receiving adjunct peer group and other care so that there is a strong safety net for the work. We often support folks through this work for a minimum of three years, though each person is different. Some folks may recover to the point of needing less frequent sessions, sometimes something will activate and more or longer sessions may help for a period of time. One doesn't need to be diagnosed to do this work. Some folks have patchy memories or doubt their memories, that's natural. All are welcome. What is asked is that folks show up with a willingness to meet what's coming up for them as compassionately as one can as they recover. The practitioner will offer lots of support with this as the client is moving through memories, feelings, flashbacks, symptoms, situational challenges, activations...If you have questions, please feel free to ask.

Sexual Abuse
Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Because I have a speciality in trauma processing therapies, folks with past abuse can often find real relief in working through the implications of trauma-not just the memories of these experiences but how the body does indeed "keep the score". Trauma work needs to include both strong relational rapport, education about how trauma impacts on all levels of functioning and processing therapies such as EMDR or Deep Brain Reorienting to assist with deep healing.

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
Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
Healing from the profound impact of sexual abuse is a journey of reclaiming one's soul and wholeness. In my practice, I offer a sanctuary for individuals grappling with the deep scars left by such experiences, focusing on the process of soul retrieval and the reclamation of lost parts of the self. This work is about more than healing physical wounds; it's about addressing the deep soul loss that occurs in the wake of sexual abuse. Together, we embark on a path of recovery, utilizing a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that honors your pace and the depth of your experiences. Through targeted therapeutic strategies, we will explore avenues for healing, empowerment, and the reintegration of your true self, aiming to restore a sense of safety, dignity, and personal power. My commitment is to support you in this deeply personal journey towards reclaiming your wholeness and rediscovering a life defined not by trauma, but by resilience and renewal.

Sexual Abuse
Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Trauma-informed support for survivors of sexual abuse, sexual assault, coercion, exploitation, boundary violations, unwanted sexual experiences, and other forms of sexual trauma. These experiences can shape far more than memories alone. They may impact the nervous system, sense of safety, identity, relationships, trust, boundaries, sexuality, spirituality, self-worth, and one's relationship with the body.
Sexual trauma is often carried not only in thoughts and emotions, but also in the body itself. It may show up through hypervigilance, dissociation, numbness, chronic tension, difficulty trusting, difficulty identifying needs, feeling disconnected from bodily sensations, challenges with intimacy, shame, self-blame, or a persistent sense of unsafety. Many of these responses reflect the intelligence of a nervous system that adapted in order to survive overwhelming, violating, or unsafe experiences.
My approach is grounded in the belief that healing cannot be rushed, forced, or imposed. Particular care is given to choice, consent, autonomy, pacing, and creating a safe-enough therapeutic space where your experiences, boundaries, and needs are respected. This work honors the reality that healing often unfolds in nonlinear ways and that every survivor's journey is unique.
Using EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, polyvagal-informed practices, parts work, expressive arts, neuropsychotherapy, attachment-focused approaches, and liberation-oriented healing, therapy supports processing traumatic experiences while gently reconnecting with the body, nervous system, emotions, and inner wisdom. Attention is given not only to what happened, but also to the protective strategies, adaptations, and survival responses that emerged in response to trauma.
The goal is not simply to reduce symptoms or move beyond the past. It is often about reclaiming connection with yourself, your body, your voice, your needs, your boundaries, your choices, and your capacity for trust, pleasure, intimacy, and self-determination. Healing is approached with deep respect for your resilience, your pain, your pace, and your right to define what recovery means for you.
