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.

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
