Sexual Abuse
Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
Healing from sexual abuse involves reconnecting to safety, agency, and trust in one’s own body and experience. I provide a compassionate and slow space to process trauma, integrate emotional and somatic experiences, and rebuild a sense of embodiment and agency in one's selfhood.

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
LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Sexual Abuse Recovery: Experiences of sexual abuse can leave deep emotional, physical, and relational wounds that may affect how you feel in your body, how you trust others, and how you relate to intimacy, safety, and control. You may struggle with anxiety, shame, numbness, flashbacks, boundaries, intimacy challenges, or feeling disconnected from yourself in ways that are difficult to explain or fully understand.
As a therapist, sexologist, and trauma-informed practitioner, I provide a safe, grounded, and compassionate space to process what happened at your own pace. Together, we focus on helping your nervous system feel safer, understanding how the trauma has impacted your present life, and gently working through the emotional layers that may still be held in the body and psyche.
This work is not about rushing healing or forcing forgiveness. It is about restoring your sense of safety, rebuilding trust in yourself, and reclaiming your body, voice, and personal power in a way that feels fully supported and deeply respectful of your experience.
