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. Deborah Vinall
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LMFT
Sexual abuse can have lasting effects on how you experience your body, relationships, boundaries, and sense of self. Survivors may carry shame, fear, confusion, numbness, or self-blame—often long after the abuse has ended. These responses are not signs of weakness, but understandable adaptations to profound boundary violations.
From a trauma-informed perspective, healing involves restoring a sense of safety, choice, and connection—both within yourself and in relationship with others. Therapy is not about retelling what happened before you’re ready, but about supporting your nervous system in processing the impact of abuse in a way that feels respectful and contained.
With the support of EMDR, Brainspotting, and parts-based work, we move at a pace guided by your needs and readiness. The work is collaborative and attuned, with careful attention to consent, empowerment, and your autonomy throughout the process. Healing is possible, and you do not have to carry this alone.
