Sexual Abuse
Dr. Michael Grey- Grey Insight
Marriage and Family Therapist, PsyD, LMFT
If you’ve experienced sexual abuse, you might be carrying pain that feels impossible to put into words—shame, fear, confusion, or a deep sense of disconnection from yourself and your body. Maybe your boundaries were violated, your trust shattered, and now it feels hard to know who is safe or how to feel safe within yourself. You may struggle with intimacy, relationships, or feel trapped in patterns of survival that no longer serve you. It’s exhausting, and it’s not something you should have to face alone.
I want you to know: what happened to you was not your fault, and your healing matters. In our work together, you’ll find a compassionate, trauma-informed space where your story is honored—without judgment or pressure. We’ll move at your pace, exploring your experiences with care and helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that trauma tried to silence.
My approach is somatic, psychodynamic, and decolonized—attuned to how trauma is stored not only in the mind but also in the body. Together, we’ll work to rebuild your sense of safety, reclaim your boundaries, and nurture self-compassion. Healing is not about erasing your past but about honoring your survival and creating a future where you feel empowered, whole, and in control of your own story.
You are not broken. You are not alone. And you deserve support on your path forward—on your terms, in your time.

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

Sexual Abuse
Lisa Paer
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, EMDR Certified
I offer specialized therapy for survivors of sexual abuse, whether it happened in childhood or adulthood. Sexual abuse can have lasting effects on your mental health, self-esteem, relationships, and sexuality. It can cause you to feel shame, guilt, anger, fear, or numbness. You may also struggle with flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, depression, or PTSD. I can help you heal from the trauma of sexual abuse and reclaim your life. My approach is based on a technique called EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR is a proven method that can help you process your traumatic memories and reduce their negative impact on your present and future. It can help you feel more empowered, resilient, and hopeful. I’m a compassionate and respectful therapist who will create a safe and supportive space for you to work through your trauma, rebuild your trust, and enhance your well-being.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Catherine Ferreira-Babor, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Psy.D.
The damage done from sexual abuse can be life long. We can't change the fact that it happened but we can change how it impacts you. You might have thought that it didn't really effect you but you find yourself struggling now, as an adult, and you cant figure out why. Working through your past trauma can help you build a life that you are at peace with and that isn't dictated by something someone did to you when you were too young to protect yourself.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Rebecca Scott, Psy.D
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist, Certified in Holistic Health
I can provide support to patients who are struggling with sexual abuse both past and current. I provide many different types of modalities and encourage patients to choose the path they feel most comfortable with. Recalling all the details can be further traumatizing and research suggests in many cases not necessary.
